WHEN NARRATIVES FAIL: NOAA official to Don Lemon: No, “climate change” is not responsible for Hurricane Ian. “Rather than pay attention and report, Lemon instead chose to stick to his agenda — as ignorant as it was. In CNN terms, Rohme wanted to talk about an apple, but Lemon just went bananas.”

Remember the narrative: Everything bad in America is caused by climate change, white supremacy, or Republicans — or, in a word, Republicans.
