Utah Sen. Mike Lee employed poster-board sized pictures of the superhero Aquaman and former President Ronald Reagan riding a velociraptor so he could 'consider the Green New Deal with the seriousness it deserves'
The Republican made the suggestion while blasting the Green New Deal on the Senate floor. Lee employed poster-board sized pictures of the superhero Aquaman and former President Ronald Reagan riding a velociraptor so he could"consider the Green New Deal with the seriousness it deserves."After lambasting the policy as"the legislative equivalent of Austin Powers' Dr. Evil demanding 'sharks with frickin' lasers on their heads,'" Lee offered his own solution.
Lee, however, called the Green New Deal"ridiculous," comparing it to an image of Reagan firing a machine gun while riding a dinosaur. He said that, while the image is"awesome" it did not depict reality."This image has as much to do with overcoming communism in 20th Century as the Green New Deal has to do with overcoming climate change in the 21st," Lee said. He called the policy a"token of tribal identity" rather than a serious policy proposal.
