Trump's EPA Chief Lee Zeldin Calls Climate Change a Con Job' Used To Train Activists' With Taxpayer Dollars
"Zeldin appeared on Fox News's America's Newsroom Friday to discuss the Trump administration's rolling back of Obama-era greenhouse gas policies by nullifying the 2009 Obama EPA Endangerment Finding. According to Fox News Digital, The 2009 development was an EPA finding that carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and three other greenhouse gases endanger the public health and welfare of current and future generations' under the Clean Air Act leading to a slew of new restrictions and regulations."
"When you are putting forth tens of billions of dollars to pay off your well-connected former Obama and Biden admin officials and Democratic donors wasting taxpayer dollars, yeah, that's a problem, Zeldin began. Trillions of dollars of regulation and costs on American families, that's a big problem. Zelden continued, It has been a con job of using this for more power and control."
Lee Zeldin defended the Trump administration's move to nullify the 2009 EPA Endangerment Finding and framed climate-change policy as a mechanism for power and waste. The 2009 finding had identified several greenhouse gases as endangering public health and welfare under the Clean Air Act, leading to extensive regulations. Zeldin characterized climate policy spending as diverting taxpayer dollars to well-connected officials, donors, and activist training instead of remediation. He described the approach as circular funding that increases regulatory costs on American families and called it a con job used to gain more control and influence.
