Al Gore’s family was part of the same tobacco industry (even 20 years after the Surgeon General’s 1964 report) and he accepted tobacco industry contributions (even after his chain-smoking sister’s lung cancer death).

People who don’t want to be caught doing a Hitler analogy inevitably invoke Big Tobacco. So tiresome.
Al Gore cannot be a hypocrite. He is a liberal, and for the liberal, whatever they say is true in the moment. It has no truth value in any other time or place. What Al said before then applied at that time, what he says now applies now. To be a hypocrite, you have to have actual morals that apply everywhere.
