Seems Kamala Harris lied during CNN’s train wreck of a town hall on climate change.

Yeah, we know, you’re shocked.

And c’mon, if Politifact calls something Kamala claimed false you know it is SERIOUSLY and TOTALLY false.

Our rating

Sen. Kamala Harris claimed at a recent climate town hall that she "sued Exxon Mobil" as California attorney general.

She opened an investigation into the oil giant over allegations it was lying to the public and its shareholders about climate change. But there’s no public evidence, or any from her campaign, that she ever filed a lawsuit against the company.

Harris did sue other oil companies and win settlements over allegations they violated various state laws governing hazardous materials, according to information provided by her campaign. But none of that includes a lawsuit against Exxon.

Harris clearly tangled with Big Oil as California AG. There’s just no record she sued one of the industry’s biggest companies, Exxon.

We rate her claim False.

FALSE – The statement is not accurate.

During a climate town hall on CNN this week, Democratic presidential candidate and California Sen. Kamala Harris vowed to take on Big Oil and other powerful interests when they "profit off of harmful behaviors" such as burning fossil fuels.

Harris is another seriously deluded Dim candidate.

One must ask if she has ever heard of the theory of Theory of Abiotic Oil.

As further proof of this, old wells in Texas and Oklahoma that were thought to have been pumped dry were checked and fount they contained oil again. ;)

Fact check = True

Family land in OK that was first drilled in the mid-forties 'till production played out was re-drilled in the early nineties 'till it petered out, and now, earlier this year it was leased to another company to have their go at it.

Hoping that they're wildly successful, but I'm quite doubtful any more dinosaur puddles will be discovered.

My ex-codriver's Daddy moved to Checotah, Oklahoma in the 1930s. He said it was a boom town because of the oil and there was one killing a week. ;)
