Dem Rep. Sherman: McConnell's Criticism of California's Energy Policy Is Saying 'Burn the Country Down'

On Friday's broadcast of C-SPAN's "Washington Journal," Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) responded to criticism of California's energy policies by Senate Minority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) by saying that McConnell is telling a state that just faced a massive heat wave to "do nothing about global warming, fan global warming, burn as much carbon as you possibly can," which "shows almost a nihilistic approach, a burn the country down and enjoy doing it approach."
