U.S. Senate candidate goes viral for blaming NY earthquake on climate change, deletes post

Quote

Green Party member U.S. Senate candidate for New Jersey Christina Amira Khalil went viral after posting a theory to social media that the earthquake that rocked New York and New Jersey on Friday was caused by climate change.

Following the 4.8 magnitude earthquake that was felt New York, New Jersey, and other northeast U.S. states, Khalil posted on X, "I experienced my first earthquake in NJ. We never get earthquakes. The climate crisis is real. The weirdest experience ever."

After seeing all the ridicule, the candidate replied in a follow-up post, stating, "Pretty cool, I upset a lot of bots."

However, she eventually deleted the post and locked her account so that the public couldn’t see its activity. 

Just...WOW!
