Incoming House Democrat Whip: ‘Remember My Child Waking Up With Nightmares Over Concern Around Climate Change’

Incoming House Democrat Whip Katherine Clark on Sunday appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” to discuss the new Congress.

During the interview, Clark mentioned younger Democrats understand some ‘issues,’ such as fictional climate change, on a deeper level.

Pelosi, Hoyer and Clyburn stepped down from their leadership positions to make room for younger Democrats.

Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) has been elected as minority leader, Clark as minority whip, and Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA) as caucus chair.

Clark talked about an experience one of her children had regarding concern about climate change.

“I remember my middle child waking waking up with nightmares over concern around climate change,” Clark said.

This sounds like the result of constant fearmongering about the world being destroyed by ‘climate change.’

Did it cause Clark’s child to have nightmares?

The 59-year-old Clark argued that her “generation” could bring a fresh perspective to Congress because her kids grew up being tormented by the threats of climate change and gun violence.

“One of the biggest changes is going to be that we’re coming into this in the minority, but the commitment that we have had to the people of this country, to workers, to women, to the climate is going to continue on,” Clark said.

“And let me tell you what it means to me coming in as a different generation,” she continued. “I remember my middle child waking up with nightmares over concern around climate change. I’ve had my family at a movie theater, when the movie stopped, my children immediately felt there must be a shooter in the theater with us.”

“These are the type of experiences that we are going to bring as we continue to push to meet this moment of challenge for the American people with progress,” she added.

A clip of Clark’s comment received mockery on Twitter with GOP consultant Michael Duncan tweeting, “would snitch to CPS if someone told me this,” referring to child protective services.

Former Trump White House senior adviser Stephen Miller responded to the tweet by saying, “The only way this could happen to a child is if the parents made it so.”
