Newly surfaced videos of Arkansas Democrat United States Senate candidate Hallie Shoffner expose just how deep her Green New Deal roots run. In the footage, Shoffner mocks President Trump and his MAGA supporters, praises Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ Inflation Reduction Act for pumping billions of dollars into climate programs, and admits she once worked for a Seattle “environmental lobby group,” a group she conveniently declined to name.
After extensive research, Loomer Unleashed has identified that group as Environment Washington, an organization campaigning to make America “fossil fuel free” and to get Americans out of their cars.
In a 2021 video, Shoffner mocked President Trump and his MAGA supporters by wearing a red and white parody hat reading:
“Make Climate Great Again”
Shoffner then, in her own words, made clear that climate alarmism is what drives her:
“As a farmer, what really keeps me up at night is how dramatically our climate is changing. That’s why it’s essential and urgent for me to prepare for these challenges. And I’m excited and honored to participate in the webinar Commodity AG: The Changing Climate and Your Bottom Line.”
Then, in a 2022 interview with Arkansas Public Television, Shoffner praised Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ Inflation Reduction Act for shoveling billions of dollars into Green New Deal projects, saying:
“The Inflation Reduction Act is putting billions of dollars into the USDA climate smart programs.”
This is the same Hallie Shoffner who embraced Kamala Harris and AOC’s call for Americans to eat less red meat, writing in 2023:
“Consider eating less meat: For many of us, giving up our favorite hamburger or steak dinner is a non-starter. Fortunately, we don’t have to cut these items completely from our diets to make a difference. Data shows that reducing our meat consumption by a small amount—even down to once or twice a week—can significantly help reduce methane emissions.”
In the same 2022 Arkansas Public Television interview, Shoffner exposed her past as a fundraiser for the climate lobby, telling the interviewer:
“I lived in Seattle for a while and did fundraising for an environmental lobby group.”
There is a reason Shoffner didn’t reveal the group’s name and a reason her LinkedIn shows no trace of any climate group in Seattle, Washington.
After extensive research, Loomer Unleashed uncovered Hallie Shoffner’s bio on CoAction, which states that she worked in Seattle at the organization Environment Washington.
Environment Washington’s own website shows what Shoffner was raising money for. The group’s campaign site features an initiative titled:
“Fossil Fuel Free”
The initiative is a pressure campaign to push investors to divest from fossil fuel companies, with a key section reading:
“A growing number of investors understand that the fossil fuel industry’s business model is incompatible with what scientists are telling us we must do to slow global warming. That’s why we’re working to convince more investors to help create a fossil fuel-free future by divesting from the companies that are destroying our planet.”
Environment Washington also wants the government to adopt policies designed to push Americans out of their cars, with a key section of its “Drive Less. Live More.” campaign reading:
“Our country is built for cars — but it doesn’t need to be. If our leaders prioritize transportation funding that makes it easier, safer and more affordable for people to take a train or bus, to share rides, or to bike or walk, then more of us will choose to travel without a car.”
It’s worth noting that Shoffner ends the 2022 Arkansas Public Television interview by declaring that even implementing Green New Deal-style policies on every farm in America still wouldn’t be enough to satisfy the climate agenda, saying:
“I mean, in terms of mitigating what’s happening in terms of our changing climate, it’s not gonna be enough. You can have every farmer adopt every conservation practice you want — it doesn’t address the larger issue. It helps though.”
Hallie Shoffner spent years inside the climate lobby, mocked the very MAGA voters she now wants to represent, and cheered as Biden shoveled billions into Green New Deal programs. If Arkansas sends her to the United States Senate, she will bring the Green New Deal with her. It’s yet another reason why re-electing Republican Senator Tom Cotton this November matters. The Senate can’t take any more Green New Deal radicals, and neither can our country.
