Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren blamed the fossil fuel industry for distracting voters with hamburgers and straws during Wednesday's CNN climate town hall.
Moderator Chris Cuomo asked Warren whether the government should be in the business of telling consumers what light bulbs they can buy, prompting Warren to respond, "Oh, come on. Give me a break."
"No. Look, there are a lot of ways that we try to change our energy consumption and our pollution and God bless all of those ways," Warren said.
She then appeared visibly annoyed while attacking the fossil fuel industry, saying, "This is exactly what the fossil fuel industry hopes we are all talking about."
"That's what they want us to talk about. This is your problem. They want to be able to stir up a lot of controversy around the lightbulbs, around your straws, and around your cheeseburgers," Warren said.
Warren accused the fossil fuel industry of "Corruption" and then said corporations are using PR firms to push out distractions so everyone can have "Fun with it." She said as a result people aren't paying attention to who is still "Making the big bucks."
Warren wasn't the only 2020 presidential candidate who discussed meat and straws during CNN's marathon of climate town halls.
