EPA Administrator Zeldin

Nothing infuriates an uninformed Congressional Dem more than when they realize they voluntarily triggered a debate with someone who actually knows what they are talking about, reads federal statute and adheres to Supreme Court precedent. Today’s self-implosion by Rosa DeLauro was quite remarkable to witness. Without apology or regret, I will always adhere to the best available reading of federal statute pursuant to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Loper Bright.

When you don’t have anything good to say, some advise to just not say anything at all. As for Rosa DeLauro, she apparently believes that when you don’t have anything good to say, you should instruct the person you are debating to kill themself.

Another TOTAL MELTDOWN by a Dem Congressman when confronted with facts about the rampant waste, abuse, and conflicts of interest as the Biden Admin doled out BILLIONS of dollars to their far left friends. When Dems hear the truth, they implode, and in @RepMenendez's case, he… pic.twitter.com/r7ABYSsQWT

… starts doing some really weird things with his hands when he starts hearing about “gold bars” getting tossed around.

The Trump EPA is proving every day that you can both protect the environment AND grow the economy. No longer is it a binary choice where we are forced to pick one or the other. pic.twitter.com/ClEB2jBFxF
