Why is Al Gore bright orange? Internet jokes ex-VP stole Donald Trump's makeup

'Al Gore appears to have studied at the Donald Trump school of natural tanning,' a user joked

Former Vice-President Al Gore made an appearance on a CNN segment on June 26, 2021, to speak about the heat crisis in the northwestern US states. However, it was not the Nobel laureate's speech that sparked the audience's interest. It was his rather unusual and uneven skin tone that baffled viewers the most. What can be assumed as a bad spray tan job, led to Gore being compared with former President Donald Trump, who is often ridiculed for his characteristic bright orange spray tan.  

Soon, viewers started sharing hilarious and confused reactions about Al Gore's unnatural appearance. While some speculated that he got tanned more than he expected, others made claims as outrageous as him 'stealing' Trump's makeup. Meanwhile, the 45th Vice-President emphasized the need for urgent action on climate change, reiterating his decade-old warning about global warming and rising temperatures. During his interaction with CNN's Pamela Brown, Gore also commended former GOP chair Liz Cheney for 'standing up to the craziness' as she dismissed Trump's voter fraud claims.

Another user wrote, "Wtf was up with Al Gore tonight? What ever bronzer he was using, he must have used about 10 cans. Which, BTW, is bad for the environment." "It looks like CNN forgot to turn off the Trump Filter when they interviewed Al Gore," a third user wrote. "Why does Al Gore look like he stole Donald Trump’s makeup? I like listening to the former Vice President but now I‘m distracted," a fourth user chimed in. Another user joked, "Al Gore appears to have studied at the Donald Trump school of natural tanning."
