EPA administrator Lee Zeldin said his team canceled a $50 million grant to an organization that believes 'climate justice travels through a Free Palestine'
The new administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Lee Zeldin, said he has canceled a Biden-era $50 million environmental justice grant to an organization that believes "climate justice travels through a Free Palestine."
Zeldin, who was sworn in as the EPA administrator at the end of January, was a guest on "The Story with Martha MacCallum" on Thursday, where he spoke about canceling the grant.
"Just earlier today, I canceled a $50 million grant to an organization called the Climate Justice Alliance," he said. "They say that climate justice runs through a free Palestine. I think that the American taxpayer wouldn't want $50 million going to this left-wing advocacy group. It’s canceled."
Zeldin also noted that Congress has advocatedagainst the grant.
