Meet the environmental activists photobombing GOP candidates one by one
The latest target of the environmental group 350 Action's photo campaign was Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) on Tuesday morning, when an advocate unveiled a shirt in front of him that declared, "I'M WITH CLIMATE DENIER."
Elaine Colligan, a 22-year-old fellow with 350 Action, subsequently told Business Insider that the stunt is a throwback to the famous novelty "I'm With Stupid" T-shirts.
"Every presidential candidate, especially Republicans, needs to be better on climate change," Colligan said in a phone interview. "Our job is to make climate denial look as ridiculous as it is."
In addition to Rubio, activists have snuck into photos with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R), and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R). In the case of Walker, 350 Action tricked the governor into posing with a giant fake check from David and Charles Koch, the billionaire industrialist conservative megadonors.
