Rep. Lisa McClain: "For the people in our country who want to turn this country into a communist country -- leave. Go to Europe where they are experiencing this heat wave and they don't have air conditioning. See how well that works for you. I'm proud to be an American."

Air conditioning is their big talking point lately. I lived in Germany 3 years and England 3 years. They don't have a/c because they didnt need it. Climate change ushered in this extreme heat. They love their architecture and aesthetic and don't like the pollution and over energy use.

The country today is “freedom and free speech”? Is she unaware of the immigrants and citizens unlawfully in detention centers? Is she unaware who owns the media or the firing of Scott Pelley or Stephen Colbert? Is she unaware there’s a lawsuit against Comey for placing seashells on a beach?

Shall we list the people who have sacrificed resulting in the America we see today? I’m pretty sure the earnest plea this lady is making, isn’t what she thinks it is.

If your commitment to liberty and freedom are inextricable from your AC, then you may have misunderstood everything you were supposed to have learned in US history, civics, social studies, world history, social studies, kindergarten, Sunday School, and other classes that touch on democracy.

People won’t be able to even run my great grandpas swamp cooler without adequate power or water thanks to a combo of GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE & DATA centers. She has a brain the size of a walnut -why do we give her air? (Time?)

Funnily enough, part of managing Global Warming should be US AC to cool the outdoors. A heat pump is literally an AC with the cold side outdoors and is significantly better for the environment than natural gas or resistive heating options.

I'm proud to be an American too, but, you know, for reasons more significant than A/C. Why is it Republicans always sound like they're intellectually about 12? If that?

I'm sorry to see that 77 million Americans decided for all of you that they don't need this. Hopefully the tides will turn again for you 🤞🏻

You do, but 90% to 20%. A/C is looked at as a luxury. Many Americans have not lived in the US SE where humidity is brutal and high dew points can make A/C inoperable. It's a wide in the US. Where I live, the hottest day of the year is only 27C We don't need A/C at all. www.cnn.com/climate/euro...

cnn.comEuropean summers are getting brutally hot. So why is air conditioning so rare? | CNNWhile nearly 90% of US homes have air conditioning, in Europe it’s around 20%, and some countries have much lower rates.

True. I don't like the dry air and outside units of air conditioning so we use old fashioned ways of cooling the house. Shadow, a very green garden, trees, curtains, ventilators, windows open from 20:00 to 08:00 hrs etc. But I understand that's not an option in the SE with their humidity.

Non-Sequitor after non-sequitor. No one wants to turn the US into the PRC. Although their economy isn't in the shitter. Europe has universal healthcare, cheaper University Education, and better food. Air conditioning isn't the plus that you think it is. See how far Pride gets you.

Households in Europe with air conditioning: Italy: ~50% to 62% Spain: ~40% to 48% France: ~20% to 25% Germany: ~3% to 6% Guess what it's generally not nearly as hot in summer there as in most of the US.

Weird how she acts like the beauty of America is you can stay AND openly try to subvert America to a Communist system... That's not illegal. You can RUN as a Communist. They can't stop you!!!

Healthcare for all is not communism. Protecting social security so American’s can retire is not communism. Ensuring no children go to bed hungry is not communism. Ensuring politicians and the Epstein class are held accountable for their crimes of not communism.

USA não têm saúde universal, assistência social universal como a Europa e é são os maiores poluidores do Mundo. O desastre climático é muito por vossa culpa e o ar condicionado agrava o problema. É tão simples compreender isto que tenho dificuldade em entender como há gente tão burra.

Os países que optam por condicionar o acesso aos aparelhos de AC fazem-no por proteção climática. O AC atira o calor para fora para além do gás que liberta.

For folks commenting how stupid people like this are, please understand one thing. They aren’t stupid. They are evil. They know this is bullshit, but they also know that enough people will believe it because Fox and Newsmax promote it. They don’t care.

Well maybe because you and your MAGA cronies have made us all blatantly aware of your racism and radical views of everyone you don’t deem “worthy” of being an American. Curious how your relatives got here?! 🤔🖕🏼🖕🏼

David Bailey: "For the people in our country who want to turn this country into a fascist country -- leave. Go to Russia, where you can be a subject of Trump's idol, Vladimir Putin. Or North Korea, to be subject to Kim Jong Un, whom Trump 'fell in love' with. Anywhere but here, you fascist losers

Hey Lisa, I am a proud American, too. And if you don’t like immigrants, who built this great nation, and those with opposing ideologies, and democracy, and freedom from and of religion, and public education, and LGBTQ+ people, and people of different faiths than your own, you can leave, too.

The beauty of America is that the government has to respond to the will of the people. It’s called democracy. “If you don’t like it, leave” is far more un-American than duly elected ‘communism’

Ummmm. I’m experiencing record breaking heat right here in the good old U S of A. Wait. Maybe I’m not if Fox News says I’m not. Boy! I immediately feel cooler!

Hey Lisa, you need to stop going on TV news shows if you can call them that and bitch and complain about your fellow Americans, go home to Michigan and fucking do something for the people that you’re supposed to represent.

Lisa McLean is my representative here in Michigan. I’ve sent her over 200 emails in the last year and a half and have received not a single reply. She represents Donald Trump and Republican members of Congress. She does not represent her constituents.

Lisa is worried about American people turning this country into a communist country. She should be more worried about the person she supports you know Donald Trump the rapist, the racist convicted felon, and he himself has been convicted of voter interference. Fuck her and Trump.

I hate to say this, Lisa McLean is my representative and she is my fucking moron and I don’t mean that in a good way. I live in probably the Reddest District in Michigan. Her last in person town hall meeting was in March of 2021.

We don’t elect felons/pedos/S’abusers to lead the country. We don’t shot our school kids, we don’t kill school kids in other countries. We have health care, we don’t stop large swathes of the pop from voting, but F me we don’t have AC! Give me AC or give me death!

Where once we had maybe the questionable nerve to tout the best and the brightest in government, now we get elected officials like McClain for whom no one would ever think to make such a claim.

Messaging for the base. Pick negative, misunderstood words that easily rile the incompetents and ignorant. Follow it up with lying statements that give these same folks some weird sense of superiority. Amazingly, it keeps the 30+ percent supportive.

Wtf? First, a few incumbents losing their seats is not communism or anywhere close to it.. and what has ACs in EU got to do with it? Europe needs ACs more so now than ever because of global warming and republicans still deny climate change so there’s that!

Can we please teach our candidates a little bit better? Can we require civics training before they take office? Can we make them read and write a report on the constitution? Can we ask them to describe the major forms of government organization? I swear these people are dumber than rocks

Civics training plus classes in current and historical world events. They must pass the required test before being able to run for federal office. Add no stock trading and most of the lazy cranks would be weeded out. These people have no idea what they are doing.

Wtf has air conditioning got to do with socialism? These people are very broken. This one in particular I recognise from smugly nodding and smiling while she's standing behind Mike Johnson. A stain on female politicians (of which there are many but she's up there)

Says the Republicans who are more Communist than Democrats. - Supreme leader. Check. - State more important than individual. Check. - Censorship, indoctrination, secret police. Check. - State owned businesses. Check.

She sings back up all the time in her band.. ‘MIKE JOHNSON and the BOOTLICKIN’ PEDO PROTECTERS’ word of mouth says these guys are a great band!🤦‍♂️🙄 She sings lead…A LOT, TOO 🍆 👄

I never knew there was a communist/air air-conditioning link. I also didn’t know that Europe was communist. Just a thought, but perhaps air-conditioning isn’t ubiquitous over there is that up until the climate crisis hit the fan, they didn’t really need it.

Communism, the new maga boogeyman word to terrorize the base. Like transgender for everyone. Her performances are getting much more dramatic & the enunciation on passionate buz words she uses is academy award nomination level.

I’m in Europe (Italy) for a wedding. The heat is rough, but Aperol spritzes help and fortunately all my accommodations have had AC… and it’s Italy so the food is great (and affordable), the landscapes are beautiful, the ancient history is fascinating. 9/10 trip, would do again even in a heatwave.

The importent point in response to the person that made such a crass comment is you had A.C. All of southern Europe and the Balkens have A.C. in public spaces and most homes. The North not so much as much cooler. If you return to Italy try to take in the Lakes around Milan, they are stunning.

a.c.ina.c.in

They're madder about Democratic Socialists calling them out on their BS than an actual Kleptocrat taking billions of dollars in bribes and turning their "capitalist" democracy into an oligarchy.

Which makes it crystal clear that what they are really mad about is that they might actually have to start courting regular Americans again and not multi million/billion dollar corporations and PACs.

Don’t get me wrong but Europe isn’t interested in taking in displaced Americans Sorry Lisa when you and the GOP came to power you took on responsibility for all Americans not just the low IQ ones with aircon and the simpletons wearing MAGA hats.

If there are too many “communists” in your country for your liking then you are the one that needs to change, or leave. In a democracy the people pick the government not the others way around!

Love how they keep telling AMERICAN CITIZENS to just leave because they don’t like their vote… like yall know you can gtfo yourselves if you don’t like it here, right?

Miss Bitchy Missy Michigan. Horrible person, always in the background w/other bitchy republicans. She is the worst of. Maybe she should move to Europe, she likes KINGdoms so much.

Ah, yes, the truest expression of the American dream. <shotgun cocks> "Get off my LAWN!" <surrounded by apocalyptic climate failure>

Southern and Eastern Europe has plenty of A.C. Spain Greece, Italy, Balkans are awash with units. Northern Europe until recently was temperate to cool so no real need for A.C. for the few hot days it usually experienced. Much more emphasis on heating . Its changing due to climate change.

Zdravím z Evropy, tedy konkrétně z České republiky, odkud pocházela Trumpova první žena Ivana. Klinatizaci tu máme všude součástí administrativních budov, nemocnic, nákupních center, hotelů atd. Kdo jí chce mít doma, tak si jí prostě pořídí. A u rodinných domů má 70-80% lidí svůj bazén. 😉

Europe doesn't have air conditioning because it didn't NEED air conditioning before the oil companies (with help) prevented any meaningful response to climate change, something that has been predicted for 100+ years. What a bint.

So Europe is communist because they don't have air conditioning? And let's be clear. Europe does have A/C. Most just choose not to. We are a spoiled nation.

Most parts of Europe theres little need for A C. Where it is needed its there in abundance. The North of Europe heating is more critical long spells of cold wet weather or very cold with snow.

Tbh until recently EU didnt need it because why have aircon when temp only reached boiling point a couple of time a year, just like UK never has snow tyres just because once a year it snows and no one can get anywhere, waste of money, climate change is making people rethink. I have aircon now.

Ignorance on display. None of the countries in Europe are communist. She has either not traveled there or doesn’t know what “communism” means (or both).

No one's advocating thst we shut down the NYSE and have the government assume ownership of the means of production, except maybe Trump who says he likes to get some % of corporations and who seeks to direct what gas prices will be.
