Nancy Mace Relentlessly Grills EPA Administrator Michael Regan: 'Can't Even Answer The Questions'

[@michaelantal]

Gotta love how a witness can just dodge the question by saying 'they haven't received a dime...' when it's clear that the question was about how they have funds appropriated for the future, where he of course said they haven't received a dime, but they have the full intention of fulfilling their proposed funding to the organization in due time. Democrats kicking goals as per usual, but for the opposition of the American people whose money they're spending. #FJB

The fatwah of 14 Oct 14 calls for these very acts, and the fatwah of 25 May 15 is against law enforcement and military.
