Sean Casten is a big oil hypocrite

June 18, 2019

Wanna-be Captain Planet Sean Casten markets himself as a “clean energy entrepreneur,” who “has devoted his career to…reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”
 
And in Congress, he has not-so humbly depicted himself as leading the charge to replace “old, dirty energy,” like fossil fuels.
 
But as it turns out, Captain Planet has over a quarter million dollars in mutual funds invested in big oil, like BP, Exxon and Chevron, and Chinese and Russian oil industries.
 
He’s also accepted thousands in campaign donations from the oil and gas industry (despite crowing about his advocacy to clean up Washington).

Yikes.
 
NRCC Comment: “Sean Casten is a hypocrite who should divest from big oil in China and Russia and give back campaign donations from the oil and gas industry before he pretends to be Captain Planet.” -NRCC Spokeswoman Carly Atchison
