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.”

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:

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.’
