"It is baffling to me that Democrats call for defunding the police, yet desire for EPA agents to be armed like the U.S. military. Most Americans are unaware the EPA spends $50 million a year to arm agents with equipment more appropriate for the military. They are just one of 70 agencies arming agents even though they have nothing to do with law enforcement. This is unacceptable. We should not be arming the Environmental Protection Agency to harass American businesses, farmers, and landowners."
