Benji Backer, a 25-year-old conservative from Wisconsin, was not pleased with a recent Republican presidential primary debate.
The candidates either denied, ignored or downplayed the Fox moderator’s question on climate change. Backer is not alone in his views.
Founder of the American Conservation Coalition, Backer said of his peers: “Young people will never vote for a candidate that does not believe in climate change. We’re not going away; we are normalizing this as part of the Republican conversation. Republicans deserve to lose if they are climate deniers and don’t have a plan.”
