During a fawning interview with former Vice President Al Gore aired on Monday’s NBC Today, correspondent Anne Thompson teed up the global warming activist to bash Republicans: “Do you see a Trump presidency undoing all the progress that the U.S. has made in the last ten years in the fight against climate change?”

After Gore argued that “there is still some basis for hope” in pushing his left-wing environmental agenda, Thompson fretted: “This is a man who’s called climate change a ‘hoax’ and other words that we cannot use on network TV.” Gore added: “And a Chinese plot.” Thompson replied: “Right. So where's the hope?”
