"This year we honor Tom Steyer and Kat Taylor for their extraordinary leadership"

If this kind of corruption were depicted in a movie or TV show it would be dismissed by critics as propaganda.

In fact, it's real life, and it's happening right in front of us pic.twitter.com/K6t2mV5s1c

And it’s not just @SierraClub @TomSteyer has literally bought off the entirety of the so-called environmental movement including @NRDC @EnvDefenseFund Center for American Progress

Head of Sierra Club calls billionaire fossil fuel magnate turned megalomaniacal Democratic presidential candidate "another climate champ."

Not the Onion, sadly.

I'm sure the millions $$ @TomSteyer gave @SierraClub had nothing to do with @bruneski's abasement https://t.co/GN9UzeFJiO

The truth is that @SierraClub never stopped taking fossil fuel money after 2012. On the contrary, it’s taken taken $136 million from nat gas/ renewables interests including @MikeBloomberg & @TomSteyer that stand to profit from closing nuclear plantshttps://t.co/RHoDrGDyV1

Tom Steyer is worth $1.7 billion and now he’s asking middle-class people for money

It’s not going wellhttps://t.co/YIJNxlSoqY

Oh wow this just gets better & better

In launching his $100M presidential campaign, billionaire fossil-renewables magnate @TomSteyer denounces corporations as heartless

Meanwhile he’s refusing to recognize the union of his corporation’s exploited workers

Can’t make this up pic.twitter.com/V9Radd99p5

But the corruption of @SierraClub is most hypocritical given that @bruneski denounced his predecessor @CarlPope for *identically corrupt behavior*: taking $ from nat gas industryhttps://t.co/7tV6TmWpoi
