The Spin
Left narrative
Inhofe leaves behind a complex legacy that will be celebrated by conservatives. But his stance on embracing climate change denial will also be remembered. Through his public service, Inhofe was an architect and an ardent supporter of many policies that have damaged the environment.
Right narrative
Inhofe was an ideal public servant, who spent six decades fighting for Oklahoma. Inhofe should be celebrated for his accomplishments and service as a representative, veteran, and family man. Left-leaning voices should not be denigrating his legacy.
