Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael Regan clashed with conservative firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) during a tense House hearing — asking her if she understood the Supreme Court’s ruling that overturned a legal precedent known as the Chevron deference.
Boebert, during an Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing Wednesday, asked Regan whether the EPA would repeal any “unconstitutional regulations” enacted by “rogue bureaucrats” because of the decision.
In response, Regan asked her, “Do you understand the ruling?”
It may not have the connotations to younger folk but “firebrand” absolutely isn’t a compliment. It implies blind faith and a lack of comprehension.
Bernie Sanders absolutely isn’t a “progressive firebrand” he’s an advocate and a supporter but he knows what the fuck he’s talking about and isn’t just getting people relied up for the fuck of it.
