PHILADELPHIA — California Gov. Jerry Brown ripped Donald Trump for claiming climate change does not exist during his speech before the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday.

“Trump says global warming is a hoax. I say Trump is a fraud. Trump says there’s no drought in California. I say Trump lies,” Brown said. “Rarely in American history have two parties diverged so profoundly. Even the know-nothing, anti-immigrant party of the 1850s did not stray this far into sheer ignorance and dark fantasy as have the Republicans and their leader Donald Trump.”
