Vice President Kamala Harris mistakenly (?) suggested that one of the goals of investing in clean energy is population reduction.

When President [Joe] Biden and I took office, we set an ambitious goal … to cut our greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 and to reach net-zero emissions by 2050,” Harris told an audience at Coppin State University in Baltimore on Friday.

When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water,” she continued.

According to the official transcript, the 58-year-old Vice President meant to say ‘pollution,’ not ‘population.’

More via the Epoch Times;

Ms. Harris spoke at the event to address the Environmental Protection Agency’s $20 billion investment program across two grant competitions under the Biden administration’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund that aims to spark clean energy investments across the country.

After clips of Ms. Harris’s verbal miscue emerged online, social media users and a number of Republican figures seized on the error to suggest the Biden administration was publicly calling to reduce the population in the United States.

Responding to Ms. Harris’ verbal slip-up in a Twitter post, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) asked the vice president what exactly she meant by reducing the population.

Abortion? Assisted suicide? Or what means are you suggesting to reduce population in order to help public health?” Ms. Greene wrote.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), meanwhile, warned his followers on Twitter, asking: “Are you the population she wants to reduce?”

“Kamala Harris admits she wants to reduce the population for environmental reasons,” Ohio state Sen. Michael Rull said in a post on Twitter. “That’s not just anti-American. That’s anti-human.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk also commented on the vice president’s mix-up of the phrase, tweeting: “We need to increase population.”

And once again, Kamala screws the pooch.

The Truth Will Out. Never doubt it. One way or another the cream always rises to the top.

Rather, instead, like a septic tank: the biggest chunks float to the top.

Back from mom’s. She remarked that she knows a lot of people her age who have no or only one grandchild. How terrible she said. I explained how feminism is a social cancer and she agreed. She doesn’t believe in Climate Change and dislikes feminism. Based. She showed me a pic of when she was in the newspaper for being in the Cotillion in 1951. She went viral nationally in a photo from the 50s. Won’t show that, though. Doxxing.

They’re saying it was a mistake – this time.

This is the thin edge of the population wedge. It will come up again, over time, with more regularity, and it won’t come with a retraction from the white house.

The climate they want to change is the human climate. Globalists, the WEF, want to see a global population reduction. Making life more expensive will force people to choose between a house or a car or a hamburger vs having children. Forcing children to become gender-confused and making sex-change operations as easy to get as tattoos will create more and more sterile adults. Population problem solved.
