Christina Amira Khalil quickly deleted her offending Tweet but not before getting lambasted by the masses. She posted:
“I experienced my first earthquake in NJ. We never get earthquakes. The climate crisis is real. The weirdest experience ever.”
Community Notes posted that New Jersey is, of course, on a fault line. And to their credit they even noted what most Americans know, that climate change has nothing to do with earthquakes even if you believe in climate change at all.
Technically, she’s running for the Green Party but the vast majority of her support will come from Democrats. But if any of those voters are on Twitter they might think twice before voting for this “moron.”
Senate candidate Christina Amira Khalil just said that “climate crisis” caused today’s earthquake in New Jersey.
Climate doesn’t cause earthquakes — they’re caused by tectonic plates shifting.

RINO Dan Crenshaw found himself on the right side of a debate for once by noting he was being facetious when calling out climate change for the earthquake earlier in the day.
Holy crap I was just joking about people blaming climate change and then this genius pops up. A Senate candidate no less! https://t.co/HZujDQ7alP

Even a broken clock is accurate twice a day.
Khalil has apparently been blocking people who called her out.
.@Christina4NJ Christina Amira Khalil, a U.S. Senate candidate from New Jersey, blocked me after I asked her to explain her position that today's earthquake in New Jersey was caused by "the climate crisis".
What a snowflake. pic.twitter.com/aOHkX9Pfp4

Heads may roll at The Babylon Bee…
Gonna have a call with my Babylon Bee writers to figure out how we failed to come up with "the earthquake was caused by climate change" before the libs did https://t.co/oxeQpVjZAQ

Never underestimate the idiocy of radical leftists.
]]>Menendez and his wife were indicted on Friday on charges including three counts of alleged bribery, fraud and extortion in the Southern District of New York. After Menendez declined the numerous calls from fellow Democrats to resign, Kim said he felt “compelled” to primary the senator, according to his Twitter.
“After calls to resign, Senator Menendez said ‘I am not going anywhere.’ As a result, I feel compelled to run against him. Not something I expected to do, but NJ deserves better. We cannot jeopardize the Senate or compromise our integrity. Please join me,” Kim wrote, including a link for donations.
Along with Kim, numerous elected Democratic officials from New Jersey have called on Menendez to resign, including Gov. Phil Murphy, state Democratic Party Chairman LeRoy Jones, General Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin, Rep. Mikie Sherrill, Rep. Josh Gottheimer and former Rep. Tom Malinowski. Democratic Rep. Dean Philips of Minnesota and Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania have also asked Menendez to step aside.
“Those who believe in justice believe in innocence until proven guilty,” Menendez said in a statement. “I intend to continue to fight for the people of New Jersey with the same success I’ve had for the past five decades. This is the same record of success these very same leaders have lauded all along. It is not lost on me how quickly some are rushing to judge a Latino and push him out of his seat. I am not going anywhere.”
The charges brought against Menendez related to allegedly receiving lavish gifts, like cash, gold bars and a luxury car, in return for political favors in the upper chamber. Menendez has denied the allegations.
Menendez previously served in both chambers of the state Legislature, as well as the U.S. House, according to Ballotpedia. The senator has held his seat since 2006, and is running for a fourth term next year.
Menendez did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
