EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin told Newsmax Thursday that “it’s crazy” that the Biden administration awarded $20 billion in clean-energy grants to non-governmental organizations and said it was willing to blow billions in “the name of environmental justice.”
In a video posted on X, Zeldin mentioned “an extremely disturbing video” that features a Biden EPA staffer saying that the administration was “tossing gold bars off the Titanic” – essentially spending billions of taxpayer dollars before President Donald Trump took office.
“Never in EPA history has anything like this ever happened,” Zeldin said on “Carl Higbie FRONTLINE.” “And there was a decision to park $20 billion of tax dollars at a bank just outside of government to lessen the amount of oversight that government has over the funds, to give it to eight different entities – not like $20 billion on 40,000 different entities; we’re talking about eight entities – and then those entities are distributing the funds. You’re getting further and further removed with less government accountability.”
