Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin on Thursday turned the tables on CNN chief climate correspondent Bill Weir who attempted to “fact check” the agency.
The EPA announced it would repeal dozens of environmental regulations with the intent of lowering the cost to buy a car, run a business and heat a home. Weir claimed on “The Source with Kaitlan Collins” Wednesday that the EPA’s press release titled, “Trump EPA Announces OOOO b/c Reconsideration of Biden-Harris Rules Strangling American Energy Producers,” consisted of “typos and placeholders,” though Zeldin said the release correctly referred to a federal regulation under the Clean Air Act regarding the oil and gas industry.
“[The EPA] was putting out press releases with such a flurry, about 31 different actions and rollbacks, that some of them had typos and placeholders at the top, we have one of them there. ‘Trump EPA Announces’ zero, zero, zero, zero, you can see there,” Weir said. “It’s sort of shoot first, fill out the press release later. They’re of course, as you mentioned, vehicle emissions, power plant pollution, mercury pollution that comes out of there. Coal, waste, water, oil and gas.
