Alex Jones misrepresents Obama's stance on African development by ignoring the context of sustainable modernization.

I know that it's tired for us to play him talking about that Obama saying they can't have cars and air conditioners and flying in on a plane. The reason that I kept it in this time is because what he was saying is literally what Alex says, why don't you say this? Like he says, why don't you say you could have clean cars and clean air conditioning? And the point that Obama was making was we can't modernize the entire world the same way we have modernized the world, the first world that we have now. We made a lot of mistakes on the way. We have to be smarter about the technologies that we use or else the world is going to boil over. And so it's particularly offensive for me when Alex uses this narrative to make a stab at Barack Obama, then give a, why doesn't he say this? And says exactly what Obama was saying.
