Lee's declaration was widely lampooned for being questionable. This included her claim that the moon, which reflects the sun's light, gives off "unique light and energy" and misstating the scientific reason for the eclipse. The solar eclipse was happening because the Earth was unusually close to the moon, she said when, in fact, the eclipse was the result of the alignment of the sun and moon. "I don't think we've been on the moon the last 50 years. So, we will be landing on the moon. What you'll see today will be the closest distance that the moon has ever been in the last 20 years. Which means that's why they will shut the light down because they will be close to the Earth," she said of the eclipse alignment. "I don't know about you, I want to be first in line to know how to live and to be able to survive on the moon," Lee added. "That's another planet which we're going to see shortly." Now, she is slamming the Republicans for taking her statements "wrongly." She insisted she "obviously misspoke and meant to say the sun, but as usual, Republicans are focused on stupid things instead of stuff that really matters." "What can I say though, foolish thinkers lust for stupidity!" she added. She also said that the GOPs should be focusing on issues like prenatal care, building more affordable housing and more reduction of student loan debt as President Joe Biden is. "Also, I care more about these children who would not have experienced the eclipse in this enthusiastic manner. And, I care more about protecting the rights of women and children than engaging in this kind of senseless dialogue!" she claimed. However, the fact is the sun is still more uninhabitable than the moon, being a ball of gas and plasma with no solid surface, burning at around 10,000 F or 5,600 C on its surface and 27,000,000 F or 15,000,000 C at its center. The National Pulse wrote: "Any human attempting to approach the sun would be killed by its intense heat and radiation millions of miles before reaching it." Lee is notorious in DC for high staff turnover because of her allegedly unusual and abusive demands of staffers.Obviously I misspoke and meant to say the sun, but as usual, Republicans are focused on stupid things instead of stuff that really matters.
