Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak calls climate-change believers 'unpatriotic racists'

Hollywood celebrities often use their platforms to discuss the political issues they care about — but what about the marginal celebrities that haunt daytime television? Last night, Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak took to Twitter to say that anyone who believes in global warming is an unpatriotic racist:

I now believe global warming alarmists are unpatriotic racists knowingly misleading for their own ends. Good night.

Harsh words — but this isn't the first time Sajak has used his Twitter feed to mock those who believe in climate change:

The world would be such a wonderful place without human beings. Just animals breathing clean air & eating each other.

Very hot weather: "We're all going to die!" Very cold weather: "There's a difference between climate & weather, moron!"

My interest in Al Gore's pronouncements could fit into a gnat's navel & still leave room for a Liberal's sense of humor.

That means, incidentally, that Sajak believes 77 percent of Americans are "unpatriotic racists," including 97 percent of young voters — so good luck in that key 18-49 demo, Pat.
