“Pursuit of this globally focused agenda has distracted the agency from fulfilling its core mission, thereby creating a backlog of missed statutory deadlines, and at times has even led to preventable environmental disasters. During the Obama Administration, for example, the U.S. experienced two of the worst environmental disasters in decades, including the Flint, Michigan, water crisis in 2014 and the Gold King Mine spill in 2015.”

Context:
She’s blaming the Flint, Michigan water crisis of 2014 and the Gold King Mine spill in 2015 on climate change activism in the EPA, claiming that a focus on global goals inhibited them from stopping these preventable disasters. This is an absolutely ludicrous accusation. The ONLY accurate piece of this claim is that both disasters were indeed preventable.
