(OPINION) Rep. Katherine Clark, the incoming House minority whip, claimed Sunday that her one of her children awakened from “nightmares” over climate change. The shameless attempt at virtue-signaling was met swiftly with mockery.
The Connecticut Democrat was asked on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” how a new generation of leadership will impact the House Democratic caucus. In response, Clark claimed her children are hyper-aware of climate change and mass shooting attacks.

“Let me tell you what it means to me, coming in as a different generation. I remember my middle child waking up with nightmares over concern around climate change,” she said.
“I’ve had my family at a movie theater, when the movie stopped, my children immediately felt, ‘There must be a shooter in the theater with us,'” she claimed. “These are the type of experiences that we are going to bring, as we continue to push to meet this moment of challenge for the American people with progress.” Not only did people not believe Clark, but she was accused of emotional “child abuse” for seemingly having forced her political agenda onto her children.
