Retiring Staffer Claims EPA Employees Were ‘Insulted’ By Trump’s Recent Visit
Daily Caller News Foundation ^ | April 4, 2017 | Michael Bastasch

The CPP was the cornerstone of President Barack Obama’s “Climate Action Plan.” Trump’s order also eliminated Obama-era directives to federal agencies on global warming and an Interior Department moratorium on new coal mining leases on federal lands.

Cox says these actions were an insult to EPA employees who work on these issues. Previous news reports highlighted the tension between career staffers and the Trump administration.

One former EPA official suggested career staff would boycott Trump if he ever visited the agency. That’s on top of reports staffers sent encrypted text messages to resist the administration’s goal, and news that employees would slow-walk or even ignore orders.

One unnamed EPA employee told ProPublica “more than a few friends were ‘coming to work in tears’ each morning as they grappled with balancing the practical need to keep their jobs with their concerns for the issues they work on.”

Try that in the private sector, telling others that the boss is an insult to the workers.

Fire all the EPA employees. Don’t President Trump understand these are King Obama’s private army of employees. Rebuild the EPA or better still dump it and put responsibility under parks or something similar.

The American conservative is insulted by the mere existence of the EPA. Heavy handed, lazy, stupid bureaucrats. Not unlike the IRS. DEA. ATF. FBI. Pretty much all the alphabet agencies.

Good. They can cry all the way to the unemployment office.

Thank you, President Trump.

Of course, these folks would be insulted because he’s not the kool-aid drinking true believers that would work at the EPA. He’s dismantling their grand visions and defunding them. Bravo, Trump. Bravo.
