Republican hopeful from the great state of Al Franken and Jesse Ventura, Tim Pawlenty, went on Laura Ingraham to say he is sorry for his past support for cap-and-trade legislation on the "Laura Ingraham Show."
"I've said, 'Look, I've made a mistake,'" explained Pawlenty of his position shift, according to Politico. "I think cap-and-trade would be a ham-fisted, unhelpful, damaging thing to the economy. ... It's misguided. I made the mistake. I admit it. I'm not trying to be cute about it. I just come out and tell you it was a mistake."
Pawlenty is changing his tune on that issue, but says he won't be the only Republican flip flopper. In fact, don't be surprised if it isnt the only issue he and others flip flop on, or even flip, flop, flip.
"Everybody in the race, at least the big names in the race, embraced climate change or cap-and-trade at one point or another," he said.
According to TIME, a few other potential presidential contenders will play it safe during the campaign on the issue climate change .
