Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin offered some testimony before members of Congress recently, and he proved that many of those elected officials were in way over their heads when trying to trip up the EPA chief on climate change. And Mr. Zeldon’s replies, well, we have reported on some of the great lines right here on RedState. But his summary of the whole thing, from my thinking, was his real piece de resistance – especially the mic-drop moment at the end. Eric Daugherty, from RightLine News, brings us this account:
🚨 EPA ADMIN LEE ZELDIN WITH THE ULTIMATE MIC DROP
“I told Sen. Sheldon WhiteClub [Whitehouse] today that I won’t be listening to or caring about any of his lessons on ‘MORALITY’ knowing that he joined an all-white Rhode Island Country Club!”
He just keeps PUMMELING these Dems!… pic.twitter.com/V5wQKV2PF6

The post reads in full:
“I told Sen. Sheldon WhiteClub [Whitehouse] today that I won’t be listening to or caring about any of his lessons on ‘MORALITY’ knowing that he joined an all-white Rhode Island Country Club!”
He just keeps PUMMELING these Dems!
“Climate alarmist AOC wants to be taken seriously while also insisting the world is imminently about to end due to climate change — Just under 5 years remain on her nutty Jan 2019 prediction that only 12 years of life are left on Earth).”
“Al Gore is now speaking publicly about his concern with global freezing after decades of grift talking about global warming. ‘Within the decade there will be no more snows of Kilimanjaro,’ said Gore in 2006 (There’s still snow on Kilimanjaro year-round). Gore also predicted in 2009 ice-free Arctic summers within 5-7 years.”
“John Kerry warned in 2009 that the Arctic would be ice-free by 2013. These people are dishonest, power-hungry hacks. The GREEN NEW SCAM is DEAD!!!”
Freaking awesome.
What a GREAT Trump pick!
Here’s what Mr. Zeldin said in the video, with some comments:
When predictions are made in the past, science will have a range of the pessimistic to optimistic. And then, in order to justify, for example, that 2009 endangerment finding, they were adopting the most pessimistic views. Now, when you get to 2026, great news. You’re able to rely on present-day facts in 2026 rather than any bad assumptions from 2009. And just because when you take exception when a member of Congress says in January 2019 that in 12 years the world’s about to end. If we’re sitting here today saying, ‘Well, gosh, it’s only four years-and-nine-months left,’ I don’t think the world is about to end. They want to vilify you as if you’re denying science.
I’m pretty sure I’ll still be around in four years-and-nine-months, and I’m pretty sure the Earth will just be ticking along as normal. Honestly, though, anyone who takes the person he is quoting seriously probably shouldn’t be taken seriously themselves.
Mr. Zeldin continues:
I just saw a clip yesterday where Al Gore was talking about global freezing. I’m having trouble keeping up. I thought it was global warming, now it’s global freezing. And I don’t know what kind of money is made, making money off of a climate grift. What won’t get referenced by your colleagues on the opposite side of the aisle, who bring up the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF), is that the money was going to former Obama and Biden officials. The money was going to Democratic donors. The conflicts of interest that we saw. The amount of self-dealing. The unqualified recipients. Climate United Fund CEO was a special assistant in the OMB during the Obama-Biden administration. They received $6.9 billion. If you could go down the list with that. And today you can go through Coalition for Green Capital — about a Biden-Harris climate advisor serving on the board, joining the board in ’23 while the organization applying for GGRF. Power Forward Communities CEO of Fannie Mae during Obama-Biden administration.
Aye, that’s the rub. I’m fond of pointing out that the agenda of climate scoldery has nothing to do with the climate or the environment. Oh, some of the useful idiots that they have out waving signs and screeching about the planet literally catching fire may believe that, but just look at the amounts of money that are involved here, and for what? What have they accomplished? Is the planet somehow more habitable? Seems to me that, not only have none of the dire predictions come to pass, but that they aren’t even anywhere near coming to pass. Zeldin continued:
By the way, if we had 10 more minutes, I could just go through conflicts of interest. They’re not offended by that. So we just want to stick to the truth, we want to stick to the science. And if you don’t agree with them, you know, follow their logic, well, they’ll want to vilify you. But as long as we stay true to these facts, it’s good to go. And I’m not going to take morality lessons from people who join all-white country clubs.
Mic. Dropped. That last comment, of course, is a direct shot at Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), who famously belonged to a racially segregated country club, and who is another person that we shouldn’t take seriously.

President Trump has made some amazing Cabinet and administration picks in this second term, including Pete Hegseth as Secretary of War and Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. These people are setting the country on a path that we should hope we can keep it on for a few more decades. And now, with this week’s appearance before Congress, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has proven he has the chops to take on the left and (metaphorically, of course) kick their butts.
Still winning, and still not tired of it.
