URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!
(DC Pundit) – If you ever needed proof that some members of Congress have absolutely no business sitting in judgment of the agencies they oversee, look no further than what happened Monday when EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin appeared before the House Appropriations Committee to discuss President Trump’s 2027 budget request, a proposal that would cut the agency’s budget in half if approved.
Connecticut Democratic Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, recognizable by her signature purple hair, came in hot and swinging, angrily attacking Zeldin for “appeasing polluters” and ignoring Americans under “the false flag of economic growth.” Standard left-wing boilerplate, delivered with the usual theatrical outrage.
Zeldin, however, didn’t take the bait. Instead, he calmly explained that he is simply following the law, and that the law says nothing about fighting climate change. Then he did something that exposed DeLauro completely: he asked if she was familiar with the Loper Bright Supreme Court case.
Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo is the landmark 2024 Supreme Court decision that overturned the decades-old Chevron doctrine, the legal framework that had long allowed unelected federal bureaucrats to essentially create law through regulatory action. The Court struck it down 6-3 as unconstitutional.
DeLauro had no idea what he was talking about. And rather than admit it, she went completely off the rails.
“You do not, excuse, you don’t have the right to say climate change does not exist, that it’s a hoax!” she screamed at the EPA Administrator.
🚨 LMFAO! Purple haired psycho Rep. Rosa DeLauro goes BERSERK on EPA Admin Lee Zeldin because he’s not a climate change cultist
She starts becoming VISIBLY DISTURBED and says:
“You do NOT have the right to say climate change is a hoax!” 😭

Zeldin then brought up another landmark ruling, West Virginia v. EPA, a 2022 Supreme Court decision in which the Court determined 6-3 that Congress never authorized the EPA to force existing power plants to combat climate change using the Clean Air Act, effectively reining in the agency’s greenhouse gas regulatory authority.
DeLauro had apparently never heard of that one either. Backed into a corner with no legal argument left to make, she finally snapped entirely, declaring, “I don’t have to listen to this BS!”
A sitting member of Congress, responsible for overseeing federal agencies, completely unaware of two landmark Supreme Court decisions directly relevant to the hearing she was participating in. But sure, Lee Zeldin is the problem.
