**Misguided Priorities: CBS Debate Moderators Ignore Tragedy for Climate Agenda**

As Hurricane Helene wreaks havoc across Appalachia, leaving over 160 people dead and countless families displaced, the mainstream media, led by CBS, has chosen to prioritize a climate change narrative during the vice-presidential debate.

The only question the moderators, Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan, posed regarding the catastrophic storm revolved around its supposed connection to climate change. In a moment that many found profoundly insensitive, the moderators ignored the very real suffering of the victims and instead pressed Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) on what President Trump should do to combat climate change in the face of such a disaster.

While families in the southeast struggle to regain power and access basic necessities, the CBS moderators feigned concern for the environment, distracting from the Biden-Harris administration’s inadequate response to the escalating crisis. Amid fruitless social media posts from the administration, one must wonder what the American people think when their leaders spend more time discussing climate theories than providing immediate assistance to those in need.


During the debate, Vance emphasized the importance of a strong federal response, stating, “They need their government to do their job, and I commit that when Donald Trump is president again, the government will put the citizens of this country first when they suffer from a disaster.” He alluded to the pressing needs of disaster recovery, which dwarfs the grievances about climate change, and called for a restoration of American manufacturing to mitigate future crises.

In stark contrast, his opponent, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), turned the discussion to climate initiatives without offering tangible solutions to the immediate devastation in Appalachia. The focus on government subsidies for electric vehicles and solar tech only serves to highlight how the left's agenda can overshadow critical infrastructure needs.

Furthermore, Vance touched on the imperative of tariffs as a tool to protect American jobs, mounting a strong defense against manipulation by foreign labor. He pointed out that the very same trade policies Trump enacted to support American workers remain essential today. Rather than recognizing these policies as beneficial, Walz mischaracterized them as detrimental, a narrative that misses the larger picture of national security and economic resilience.

It’s disheartening to witness dialogue that fails to address the urgent issues facing the nation. Vance's charge to prioritize the American worker and address the real challenges—like a crumbling infrastructure—reflects the values that many Americans stand behind. It's clear that a solution-oriented approach focused on recovery, manufacturing, and job protection will lead to real progress, unlike the diversionary tactics employed by the left.

In these trying times, the American public deserves leaders who focus on practical solutions rather than getting mired in ideological debates about climate change. As the recovery efforts in Appalachia commence, it’s a reminder that, when it comes to real disasters, our government must prioritize its citizens over political agendas.
