“I thought it was a joke when someone asked me to comment on the president saying wind turbines caused cancer,” Beto O'Rourke, the former Texas congressman and a 2020 presidential candidate, told a crowd in Iowa.

Since President Donald Trump made the unsubstantiated claim Tuesday evening that the sound from wind turbines “causes cancer,” Democrats—and even some Republicans—have blasted the remarks as “idiotic” and false.“I thought it was a joke when someone asked me to comment on the president saying wind turbines caused cancer,” the former Texas Democratic Congressman and presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke told a crowd in Iowa, according to various media reports.

Members of Trump’s own party have ridiculed him for the remarks, with one prominent Republican also labeling the concept"idiotic." Trump has a long history of feuding with windfarms, stemming back to 2006 when he sought to prevent an offshore wind farm from being installed near where he planned to build a golf course in Scotland.

Wind turbines dot the landscape at the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre located in Aberdeen Bay located in Aberdeen Bay on September 7, 2018, in Aberdeen, Scotland. In February, a Scottish court ruled that Trump International Golf Club Scotland Ltd. should pay legal costs incurred by the Scottish government during a years-long legal battle with the Trump club, which unsuccessfully sued to halt the wind farm project.

Doubt that was a joke.

I thought it was a joke too when I watched the video, hence the laughter. Was it a good joke? Naw I didn’t think so.

Wait until he says the Mueller report causes cancer.

Well, someone else thought it was possible:

They’re both right.

Beto got something right!

Hard to tell. Dotardsayswhat?

Close. Trump is a joke.

Imbecilic.

And so it goes.

Well Beto May be seriously flawed but at least he understand sarcasm and humor

Pelosi aide sought to undercut Medicare for AllWendell Primus told roughly two dozen attendees at a November meeting that House Democratic leadership worried a progressive push risked diverting attention from the party’s core health agenda. This is misleading So, the will of the people is an 'unhelpful distraction'? From what? And don't give me that 'who's going to pay for it' bullshit.
