President Trump’s decision today to pull the United States out of the Paris Climate Accords makes one thing abundantly clear: Congressman Carlos Curbelo and Republicans in the “Climate Solutions Caucus” are powerless to change the direction of their party and unwilling to seriously challenge President Trump’s reckless record of climate change denial. Curbelo’s empty rhetoric on the Paris Climate Accord is even more shameful given his previous vote against the Clean Power Plan.
“Families in south Florida deserve more than the empty rhetoric they’re getting from Carlos Curbelo,” said Cole Leiter, DCCC spokesperson. “They need a Representative who will do more than tweet. They need a Representative who will protect coastal communities, local economies, and help create jobs in the American clean energy sector. That takes a spine and since Congressman Curbelo won’t stand up to his party, south Florida will replace him next year.”
