In a hostile interview with Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross on Friday’s NBC Today, co-host Matt Lauer didn’t even bother to conceal his contempt for President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement. In response, the cabinet official exposed the anchor’s liberal bias on the topic.
After Lauer demanded that his guest react to liberal CEO’s incensed by Trump’s decision and wondering if walking away from the agreement “damaged our national security,” Ross defended the President: “The country has actually reduced its emissions quite a little bit, largely due to the advent of natural gas as a replacement for higher pollutive fossil fuels....the President hasn’t changed any of that. He is an environmentalist, I’ve known him for a long time. He’s very pro-environment.”
