“So I just want to ask Conservative lawmakers to remove it. I understand that he wants to be re-elected. I understand that he has this primary system that motivates him to engage these hardcore conservative voters. But he look, you just cut it.”
Nye did not mention Fox News or Carlson by name, but referred to an “infamous and notorious” host of a “competitive and conservative” network who he said chose hurricane facts.
“This data is not an outright lie, but it is absolutely misleading and I ask everyone on the other side to remove it,” Nye said.
