Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) is at it again, lobbing grenades at Trump’s EPA pick Lee Zeldin with a fiery demand: “Lyin’ Lee Zeldin Must ‘Go’.” This isn’t just partisan sniping—it’s the latest salvo in Democrats’ scorched-earth campaign to kneecap Trump’s cabinet before it even unpacks. Whitehouse, the Rhode Island blue blood with a penchant for climate crusades and gun-grabber agendas, accused Zeldin of everything from ethics lapses to peddling “lies” about EPA regs. But let’s peel back the layers: Zeldin, a battle-tested New York congressman and staunch 2A defender, isn’t some rookie. He’s the guy who crushed Cuomo-era gun restrictions in court and stood firm against New York’s assault on the right to bear arms. Whitehouse’s hit job reeks of desperation, timed perfectly as Senate confirmation battles heat up. Dig deeper, and this reeks of the left’s playbook to derail anyone threatening their regulatory stranglehold—especially on firearms. Zeldin’s nomination to head the EPA might seem like an odd fit at first glance, but remember: the agency’s tentacles reach into lead ammo regs, hunting restrictions under the guise of “environmental protection,” and even ATF-adjacent rules on suppressors or primers disguised as pollutants. Whitehouse, who’s co-sponsored every major gun control bill from assault weapon bans to red flag expansions, isn’t calling for Zeldin’s head over smog data; it’s payback for Zeldin’s pro-2A voting record (Lifetime NRA A-rating) and his role in exposing Biden-era overreach. Democrats tried this with Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and now Trump 2.0’s team—smear, subpoena, stall. If Zeldin goes down, expect EPA to double down on ammo taxes or “toxic” firearm material crackdowns, straight out of the Bloomberg-funded playbook. For the 2A community, this is a clarion call: Zeldin’s fight is our fight. A Trump EPA under his watch could roll back Obama-era shotshell lead bans that gutted waterfowl hunting and signal a broader purge of anti-gun regs masquerading as eco-policy. Rally behind him—flood Senate offices, amplify on X, and remind RINOs that confirming warriors like Zeldin protects the Second Amendment from bureaucratic ambush. If Whitehouse wants a war, let’s give him one he can’t spin as “saving the planet.” Stay vigilant; the deep state’s not done digging.
