Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) AdministratorĀ Michael ReganĀ clashed with conservative firebrand Rep.Ā Lauren BoebertĀ (R-Colo.) during a tense House hearing ā asking her if she understood the Supreme Courtās ruling that overturned a legal precedent known asĀ the Chevron deference.
Boebert, duringĀ an Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing Wednesday, asked Regan whether the EPA would repeal any āunconstitutional regulationsā enacted by ārogue bureaucratsā because of the decision.
In response, Regan asked her, āDo you understand the ruling?ā
It may not have the connotations to younger folk but āfirebrandā absolutely isnāt a compliment. It implies blind faith and a lack of comprehension.
Bernie Sanders absolutely isnāt a āprogressive firebrandā heās an advocate and a supporter but he knows what the fuck heās talking about and isnāt just getting people relied up for the fuck of it.
