WATCH: Kellyanne Conway Just Can’t Bring Herself to Say if Trump Believes Climate Change Is a ‘Hoax’
Lies About Trump’s Environmental ‘Awards’
Barely more than 12 hours after President Donald Trump announced he is pulling the U.S. out of the historic Paris Climate Agreement, Kellyanne Conway just could not bring herself to answer a simple question: “Does the President still believe global warming is a hoax?” The Counselor to the President repeatedly tap danced and dodged, despite Trump repeatedly having made clear he actually does think climate change, or global warming, is a “hoax.”
NBC News just called it the great freeze – coldest weather in years. Is our country still spending money on the GLOBAL WARMING HOAX?

We should be focused on magnificently clean and healthy air and not distracted by the expensive hoax that is global warming!

Snowing in Texas and Louisiana, record setting freezing temperatures throughout the country and beyond. Global warming is an expensive hoax!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 29, 2014
We should be focused on clean and beautiful air-not expensive and business closing GLOBAL WARMING-a total hoax!

Ice storm rolls from Texas to Tennessee – I’m in Los Angeles and it’s freezing. Global warming is a total, and very expensive, hoax!

And of course, there is this infamous example:
The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.

But on ABC’s “Good Morning America” Friday morning, Conway told host George Stephanopoulos that President Trump “believes in a clean environment, clean air, clean water.”Â

“He’s received awards as a businessman in that regard,” Conway also claimed. That is a lie, one that Trump himself has also claimed. The Washington Post gave it “four pinocchios.”
“He made very clear yesterday,” Conway added, “what he doesn’t believe, which is that the U.S. government should stay in an agreement that gives us too much of the financial burden.”
Studies prove climate change will harm economies worldwide, disease will soar, and people will die, negating her financial argument, as all those bring huge costs – and not just financial.
