Twitter Skewers Tim Kaine Over His New Definition Of ‘Science’

It’s Earth Day, and liberals across the country are announcing their devotion to all things science. They’re super pro-science, unlike you, you weird biology-respecting Neanderthal.

Failed vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine is so devoted to science, he defined it for us. That’s how much he loves it.

Science is the pursuit of truth for the public interest. Pres Trump can't dismiss this fact, or all those marching today #MarchForScience

Science is, by definition, the search for truth for the public interest? That’s the Actual Definition? Why is he attaching “for the public interest” to it? That signifies the existence of some sort of underlying agenda that needs to be fed to the general public. Last time I checked, truth has no agenda. Truth is truth.

@timkaine Really? If I look it up in the dictionary will I find that definition? "Pursuit of Truth for public interest…?" Senator Kaine=Spinster. 🤣

@timkaine *political interest.

People who are self-described arbiters of "the public interest" have no business in scientific research. https://t.co/WxpxmrDcwQ

@timkaine Science is the pursuit of truth, regardless of the public interest.

Oh wait, you're a politician.

@timkaine I've heard not one "fact" yet that proves climate change or whatever you're calling it these days?🤔

@timkaine And yet you deny the Scientific FACT that life begins at conception. 😭 Sad

@timkaine Senator Kaine…THE TRUTH HAS NO AGENDA. Science should likewise have a purpose but NOT AN AGENDA. This is where you are failing!

@timkaine Actually that's not what science is at all. Wow.

No. Science is the pursuit of truth about the material world. The public interest is in the hands of the public and public leaders. https://t.co/A9T32ggKqV

@timkaine "Truth for the public interest" is pretty much the opposite of science.

@timkaine Science is the pursuit of truth. "Public interest" is not part of the scientific method. Please shut up.
