SHM brought him up as a strawman, but true to form, the comparison makes absolutely no sense. Weiner was only a pariah because of his sexual escapades--not his crazy policy positions, he was never popular on the national stage (the only national news he got was because of his sexting exploits, and later continuation of them). Weiner never had any particularly note-worthy policy positions.

The Republicans on the other hand, all share equally insane policy positions when it comes to climate change. They're not pariahs--the GOP Speaker of the House, Majority Whip, Senate Minority leader, GOP platform, every Fox pundit, all share the same, totally insane, anti-scientific positions on climate change. Almost entirely without fail.

SMH wants to pretend I'm taking an extremist, out of context, and portraying the entire party with the same brush, which is absurd on its face. The entire party, including the last GOP presidential nominee, holds the very same positions.
