Sanders slams Trump speech

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Liberal U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders slammed President Donald Trump’s address to Congress.

In a statement, Sanders said:

“Of all the absurd statements I heard from Donald Trump last night in his speech, perhaps the most absurd was when he expressed his desire to “promote clean air and clear water.” I had a hard time not laughing. Remember, this is a president who yesterday signed an executive order rolling back the Clean Water Rule to protect our drinking water from pollution. This is a president who appointed a man who does not believe in environmental protection to be head of the Environmental Protection Agency. This is a president who in his first week in office signed an order to advance two major fossil fuel pipelines. Mr. Trump, stop the hypocrisy. Own up to the fact that so far you are the most anti-environmental president that we have had in modern history.”
