President Donald Trump’s Freedom 250 rally was no match for the brutal heat wave that hit the East Coast, as temperatures in Washington, D.C., tied a record high in the nation’s capital of 100 degrees Fahrenheit on the Fourth of July. Pranksters Davram Stiefler and Jason Selvig — aka The Good Liars, a comic duo best known for trolling MAGA rallies — used the extreme heat to ask Trump supporters on the ground about climate change in their latest video. One woman’s response when Stiefler asked about the Independence Day scorcher? “The weather was manipulated,” she said. “If there’s a climate change, why is the glacier still at National — the Glacier National Park?” asked the MAGA hat-donning woman in a separate clip from the interview. “There are so many fewer glaciers,” Stiefler interjected. “OK, but why is the glacier still there?” she responded. Another man, when asked by Stiefler about his birthday landing on the same day as the “hottest July 4th in D.C. history,” expressed his “love” for the fact before a military flyover interrupted the interview. “America!” shouted the man while rocking a cowboy hat and American flag-themed overalls that housed a water bottle in the pouch. “Look at that!” Stiefler replied. “I know, right?” the man chirped back. “But shouldn’t we be a little more worried about climate change or not?” Stiefler asked. “No, I don’t — why?” the man responded. “It’s just the hottest July 4th in D.C. history,” Stiefler remarked. “So what?” said the man while walking away with a smirk.

The scorching temperatures in the nation’s capital caused delays at the Great American State Fair, and attendees took on the heat to hear Trump’s partisan pre-fireworks speech, which was delayed due to the threat of storms on Saturday. Emergency workers in D.C. evaluated 51 people for heat-related issues around the Independence Day celebrations on Saturday, including one dozen who were brought to the hospital, local officials told ABC News. Climate experts recently warned NPR that extreme heat could be a sign of what’s to come during future Fourth of July celebrations. “It’s not an anomaly. It’s a preview,” Michael Rawlins, associate director of the Climate System Research Center at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, said of the average number of heat waves doubling in the U.S. since the ’80s.
