Al Gore on fire: [View all]

Al Gore didnâ€™t hold back: The Trump admin is â€œattacking the heart of truth,â€ twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, itâ€™s all about powerâ€”not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siegeâ€”and every former leader should speak out like he did.
