Apparently she just decided to attend the town hall due to the backlash.

Choosing money over the planet got us into this mess and was not a good initial decision.  Credit where credit is due though, I'm glad she made the right choice here.

Her flip-flopping illustrated in the video is still a valid critique nonetheless.

She didn't choose money over the planet. She's already a supporter of climate change bills and she's even co sponsored some. The timing of the two events aren't ideal but I don't think it's fair for her to get attacked on this. Raising money and going to a fundraiser is something you have to do.

That doesn't have to mean anything. After all, she just backed out a healthcare bill she co-sponsored with Sanders 2 years ago:
