Kennedy questions Schumacher on climate change in Budget

John Kennedy Grills Olympic Skier On Past Posts Pushing To ‘Abolish The Police’ At Climate Hearing

On 3/20/2024, Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy pressed American Cross-Country Skiing Olympian Gus Schumacher on his social media posts at a hearing on climate change.

Climate change has been significantly impacting winter sports, Schumacher testified at the hearing on “The Nature of Climate Costs.” Kennedy told Schumacher that he likes to research witnesses who are advising the government and that he discovered controversial social media posts the athlete made in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death in 2020.

“When my colleagues invite witnesses to … advise us on passing legislation, I always check out the background of our witnesses because I like to know who I’m talking to,” Kennedy said. “I checked yours out, Mr. Schumacher, and I want to be sure I understand it as I value what your testimony.”
