Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Ranking Member of the Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, and Senator Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.)
GOP senators have accused the Biden-Harris administration of funneling taxpayer dollars into radical extremist groups through the controversial Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
During a press conference on Wednesday, Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) and Rep. Pete Ricketts (R-NE) unveiled their findings, dubbing the IRA the “Invest in Radical Activities Act.”
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was signed into law by Biden on August 16, 2022. It represents one of the largest government spending in addressing “climate change” and improving “clean energy initiatives” in United States history. It is the Green New Deal repackaged as the ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ didn’t reduce inflation.
The two GOP Senators accused the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of funneling taxpayer dollars to radical groups that promote anti-American agendas under the guise of
Senator Capito revealed that a significant portion of the IRA’s $3 billion allocated for Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grants is being directed toward organizations that not only oppose fundamental American values but also engage in activities deemed extremist.
She specifically criticized Kamala Harris for her role in endorsing these groups.
Sen. Capito said:
“We’ve really been digging into who is getting these massive amounts of grants through the EPA. There’s $3 billion in the Inflation Reduction Act, the IRA, that will go for different climate buckets.
And in our investigation, we found that a lot of this money that’s going out really has little to do with the environment and a lot to do with funding groups that are basically engaged in what I characterize as anti-American activities. They’re anti-American, anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, anti-police and anti-border security.”
“I’m also going to say that Vice President Harris…is quoted here, ‘I put equity at the center of our nation’s largest investment in climate in history, to reach the organizations that know their community best.’
