Inslee fundraises off Trump claim that wind turbine 'noise causes cancer' [View all]
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) is fundraising for his 2020 White House bid on President Trump's claim that the noise from wind turbines "causes cancer."
"Last night, Donald Trump said something truly wild. I know, that's saying a lot, but let me break it down for you: He said, 'They say the noise [from wind farms] causes cancer.' Seriously," Inslee said in an email sent to supporters Wednesday.
"In case you needed any more proof that we need a climate president, this is it. In case you needed any more proof we have got to make sure climate change is center stage at the debates, well -- you've got it. Our president is now sharing conspiracy theories about the noise from wind farms causing cancer. I'd say it doesn't get any worse than that, but you never know what could come next," Inslee added.
Trump made the unsubstantiated claim while delivering remarks at the National Republican Congressional Committee's annual spring dinner Tuesday night.
