Romney Heckled By Climate Change Protester At Rally: ‘That’s What Caused This Monster Storm’

Mitt Romney held a rally in Richmond, Virginia on Thursday, during which he was interrupted by a man who was apparently not pleased with the presidential hopeful’s lack of discussion about climate change.

At that point in the event, Romney was speaking about helping those affected by Hurricane Sandy, encouraging supporters to donate to the Red Cross. “Thank you for the help you’ve provided and for the help you’re going to provide,” Romney said.

Amid the applause, the heckler shouted, “What about climate? What about climate? That’s what caused this monster storm. Climate change.”

The man, who was holding sign that read “END CLIMATE SILENCE” was immediately booed and drowned out by “USA” chants. He was escorted out of the event.
