Acting Environmental Protection Agency administrator Andrew Wheeler.
Susan Collins, the moderate Republican from Maine, said Wednesday that she will not vote to confirm Wheeler to the position atop the agency. Neither will Joe Manchin III, the centrist Democrat from coal-producing West Virginia, after voting Wednesday against advancing Wheeler's nomination in the Senate.
Collins praised Wheeler for acting ethically at the agency and understanding its mission “unlike Scott Pruitt,” the former EPA chief who became mired in investigations of his spending and managing conduct. But she faulted Wheeler for halting efforts by President Barack Obama's administration to curb greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles and power plants.
Both senators cited the EPA's attempt to undo rules designed to limit emissions of mercury, which can damage the brains of infants and young children. As Manchin noted, “the industry doesn’t even support” that rollback.
Collins (R-ME) and Manchin (D-WV) each should change party affiliation. They aren't moderates, they are gutless cowards.
Defund the leftist-infested EPA.
We have to look at what the Republican party represents. If you're not racist you don't put a swastika on your arm cause you like the art, because we know what it stands for. So If you're a Republican(party led by a known racist)then rightfully so you're gonna be assumed a racist
