Discussion: EPA Sends Email With Wrongly-Attributed Quote Bashing Trump Climate Bill

An email sent out by the EPA, obtained by Politico, featured a quote attributed to Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), which called the order “irresponsible” and “irrational.”

“With this Executive Order, President Trump has chosen to recklessly bury his head in the sand. Walking away from the Clean Power Plan and other climate initiatives, including critical resiliency projects is not just irresponsible — it’s irrational,” the quote read. “Today’s executive order calls into question America’s credibility and our commitment to tackling the greatest environmental challenge of our lifetime. With the world watching, President Trump and Administrator Pruitt have chosen to shirk our responsibility, disregard clear science and undo the significant progress our country has made to ensure we leave a better, more sustainable planet for generations to come.”

Looks fine to me.

Jesus H Christ. Now, that’s funny.

“I’m going to surround myself only with the best and most serious people. . . . We want top of the line professionals.”

inadvertently included a wrongly-attributed bit of criticism.

Who new the EPA would become self-trolling? Very efficient.
