U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., apparently keying in on Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s statement that “President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans and heal the planet. My promise is to help you and your family,” doubled down on the issue Tuesday during his remarks to the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte.
“We celebrate Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs, even Republicans, because it’s their future, too,” said Polis. “Republicans might have mocked our desire to heal the planet, but we will heal it for Republicans, too, and we’ll create jobs and improve our schools for Republicans, too.”
