Barbra Streisand can’t even with one ‘terrible’ MAGA lie that’s becoming harder to sell with each disaster

Here comes the barbs!

Barbra Streisand shared her thoughts on extreme weather and climate change through her Bluesky social media account.

The famous singer and actress posted about recent severe weather events that have hit the United States. Her post came after a deadly storm struck Central New York, killing three people, including two young children. The storm that hit Central New York on Sunday morning was particularly devastating. Twin 6-year-old girls Emily and Kenni Bisson died when a massive maple tree crashed through their home in Clark Mills. A 50-year-old woman named Shelly Johnson also died in a separate incident when a tree fell on her house. The storm brought winds of more than 90 mph and dropped nearly 3 inches of rain in just a few hours.

Streisand wrote in her post that extreme weather is happening more often as climate scientists predicted it would because of climate change. She said Americans are dying because of terrible political decisions made in the past. She also criticized politicians who continue to treat climate change as a hoax. This follows her pattern of exposing what she calls political scandals that harm American citizens.

The tragedy in Clark Mills happened around 4 a.m. when the severe storm hit the small community of about 1,600 people. While Streisand speaks out about climate change, other celebrities have been criticized as the worst carbon offenders for their environmental impact. The Bisson twins and their mother, Kayleigh, had just moved to their rental home on Hoyland Avenue a few months earlier. A neighbor named Jared Bowman heard the mother crying for help to get her children out of the wreckage.

Rick Carollo, who lives next door and works with the Clark Mills Fire Department, woke up to sounds like a freight train. His emergency phone went off asking for help at the house right next to his. He had to climb a tree to rescue the mother through a front window. However, he could not find a pulse on one of the girls he could see in the debris.

The children attended Clinton Elementary School as first-graders. School officials confirmed their deaths to the community and said the school would be closed Monday because of storm damage. Counselors will be available for students when they return on Tuesday. Governor Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency in 32 counties due to the storms and expected extreme heat. The National Weather Service sent people to inspect the storm damage in Clark Mills.
