1208: Weeping Angels

Tom Steyer, Environmental Justice and Racial Rhetoric

Candidate Tom Steyer faced criticism for his debate performance, specifically his phrasing regarding "black and brown communities" unable to breathe clean air. Despite his background in the coal industry, Steyer positioned climate change as his top priority and pledged to declare a national emergency on day one of his presidency. His delivery was noted for a perceived lack of authenticity and unusual physical mannerisms during the broadcast.
