Fox News contributor Liz Peek joined Stuart Varney on Fox Business’ “Varney & Co.” to take on the UN climate summit and the growing rift between Bernie Sanders and Chuck Schumer.
Peek called the COP climate sessions “the Super Bowl of virtue signaling,” where everyone makes nice comments and nobody does anything. She noted that Turkey, this year’s host, was among the worst offenders on past promises, and that the U.S. and about half of Europe’s leaders stayed home because poorer nations are demanding $5 trillion a year, or $170 trillion in total, in climate reparations. “It’s all kind of a shakedown,” she said, and she thinks that is why people no longer take the summits seriously.
On Sanders refusing to back Schumer for Senate majority leader, Peek said the split among Senate Democrats is widening. She said the headlines about moderate Democrats taking over Congress deserve a double take, because Sanders is set to run the Senate health committee and will push Medicare for All, higher taxes on billionaires to fund universal childcare, and the PRO Act. She still expects Schumer to remain leader, with some nay votes from newcomers, and said it shows what is coming over the next two years.
