"Schumer On 'Green New Deal' Vote: 'Bring It On'"

"Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) took to the floor this [Thursday]  morning to challenge his Republican counterpart to admit the realities of climate change in the latest rhetorical shot in the chamber's 'Green New Deal' fight.

'Today, I am issuing a challenge to the majority leader,' Schumer said on the Senate floor. 'I don't do this often, and my colleagues know that I would rather work in a bipartisan way on climate change. But his stunt — his cynical stunt — demands a response.'

Schumer added, 'I challenge Leader McConnell to say that our climate change crisis is real, that it's caused by humans, and that Congress needs to act.'"
