U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) discussed the recent decision by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin to rescind an Obama-era endangerment finding during an appearance on Fox News’s The Faulkner Focus. Mullin explained that his personal experience with regulatory measures as a business owner was a key reason he decided to enter public service.
“This is the reason why I ran because the regulations literally put one of our companies out of business. What Lee Zeldin just did is took a sledgehammer to the regulatory environment. This single regulation right here was the single biggest factor in cost in history when it comes to regulations, especially when you look at what Obama did. This has cost the industry $1 trillion and since the last five years, has cost an annual $54 billion…
“What he has done here was exactly what President Trump promised was he was going to roll back regulations that wasn’t actually beneficial,” Mullin said.
He also addressed consumer choice, linking it to former President Trump’s policies: “Let consumers choose. What an idea that is, right? That’s what America is about. Let consumers choose what they want. That’s what President Trump is about. That’s not what the Democrats are [about].”
Mullin commented on Senate floor debates regarding constitutional issues, saying, “They can’t point to one single thing that President Trump has done that’s non constitutional…
“They want to talk about a constitutional overreach? You think, well, who was the person signing the [President Biden’s] executive orders? But no, Cory Booker is silent on that, and all the other Democrats are silent on that because of their derangement syndrome over their hatred towards President Trump, and it’s absolutely absurd, and this is why they lost, because the American people see right through this theatric behavior that Cory Booker displayed on the floor.”
