Thought you’d heard all of the absurd nonsense Republicans can possibly shovel out in an effort to stir up the GOP base and hide the fact that they have no actual legislative agenda?
If so, consider the latest item of fearmongering being conducted by the right: The feds are coming for your gas stove!
MSNBC notes:
On Monday, Bloomberg reported that the Consumer Product Safety Commission was considering new regulations around gas stoves, given growing concerns over indoor pollutants. “Any option is on the table,” Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. said. “Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.”
Now, Trumka never said a ban was forthcoming. And he (and Bloomberg) neglected to add that any CPSC regulations, like other proposed state and local-level bans of gas stoves, only apply to new construction. But that didn’t keep Republicans from pouncing and evoking visions of a 2023 filled with government agents busting down doors and ripping ovens out of walls.
That was all it took for Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) to fire off this tweet on Thursday:
That’s the new Republican agenda: God, guns, and gas stoves. But as Twitter users reminded Jordan, there are other three-word combinations that are also easily applied to him and his sordid past.
