Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders visits Fresno, asks crowd to help 'beat Trump'

In an interview with The Bee, Sanders said the 20 million jobs the Green New Deal will create should be enough to get skeptics on board, even those in the Valley who still doubt climate change is real and urgent. “It will be an economic boon to this country,” he said.

He also had sharp words for people who joke about climate change or don’t take it seriously: “It is hard to me to imagine, to be honest with you, that anybody in California, of all places, would be laughing at climate change,” he said. “What more do you need? To see this whole state have to burn down, before people recognize that climate change is real?”

“He really does speak to the working class, whereas it feels like everyone else is just kind of paying us lip service,” Cardona said. “We’re not stupid. We do see what’s going on. You can tell, this guy’s been fighting for us for decades. This is real.”

Sanders also is the only Democratic candidate to open an office in Fresno.
