President Romney on climate change

July 16, 2017: Now in his second term in office, President Mitt Romney has begun to show more of that bone-dry wit those closest to him speak of.

At an afternoon press conference inside the refreshingly cool White House, with the 144-degree temperature in Lafayette Park setting another new record high for Washington, D.C., the president fielded a tough question on the climate change aspect of the 666 deaths from heat-stoke in the nation’s capital, alone, since Easter Sunday.

Romney flashed his signature presidential smile, squinted conservatively and shot back: “Hey, when we push the heaps of socialist folderol aside, we all know the proven science is still murky on that weather subject. But hey! it’s sure a great day to own stock in an air conditioning company.”
