White House hosted meeting with climate activist group that sparked chaos at recent DC gala
Fox News
The climate protest group Climate Defiance, which disrupted an event with Sen. Lisa Murkowski in Washington, D.C., this week was recently invited for a private meeting at the White House.
"We just shut down a gala honoring U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski. Murkowski is a murderer. She incinerates us to enrich her cronies. As Chevron's top lobbyist gave her an award, we stepped in and stopped the ceremony," Climate Defiance said in a social media post. "Respect us or expect us." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
According to video of the incident, which garnered nearly more than 3.5 million views in 24 hours, the Climate Defiance activists chanted anti-fossil fuels slogans as they were removed from the stage. The video further shows Murkowski slowly walking away as the activists tried to get closer to her.
