Early Thursday morning, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin noticed that CNN climate correspondent spread fake news the previous evening on The Source with Kaitlan Collins when he accused the administration of being in such a hurry to repeal regulations they incompetently put out press releases with typos and placeholders in the headlines. In reality, Weir couldn’t tell the difference between zeroes and the letter O.
Collins began by putting the ball on the tee, “And Bill, as we're looking at these rollbacks that have been put in place by the White House, in just the last two hours alone or so, so far. What can you tell us about just the scope? What does this mean, and how is it going to affect people?”
Weir began, “It is the chainsaw effect that we've been watching all these weeks. Famously, President Trump promised oil executives carte blanche when it came to deregulation. And today's event, which is actually timed to the biggest energy conference in Houston today. Lee Zeldin put out a video on X, and they were putting out press releases with such a flurry, about 31 different actions and rollbacks that some of them had typos or placeholders at the top. We have one of those there.”
