J seems to have a reasonable point. The letter calls for,
“…a RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) investigation of corporations and other organizations that have knowingly deceived the American people about the risks of climate change, as a means to forestall America’s response to climate change”
Which Judith turns into this,
” these 20 scientists sent a letter to the White House calling for their political opponents to be investigated by the government.”
J, rather politely, called it a “mischaracterization”.
It’s actually an outright falsehood. A rhetorical ploy to engage the emotions, not the reason, of the audience.
Anyone with even a tiny shred of INTEGRITY, would retract and apologise.
