Kamala Harris’ time in political office is coming to an end.
She’s trying to take care of her friends on the way out the door.
And Kamala Harris was in hot water after this awful payoff to her allies was exposed.
Biden-Harris administration enriches allies with green energy slush fund
President Joe Biden went on a historic spending spree to boost his extremist environmental agenda.
Vice President Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate on the $1 trillion Inflation Reduction Act in 2022.
The wildly misnamed bill was a massive slush fund for green energy projects.
Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was funneled $41 billion from the Inflation Reduction Act, which is almost four times larger than its annual budget.
$3 billion was included in the funding to be given away for so-called “environmental justice” grants.
That money was sent to left-wing groups that are political allies of the Biden-Harris administration.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee released a report outlining how taxpayer money was showered on groups like the Environmental Defense Fund and the Energy Foundation that support green energy.
House Republicans argued that this was “akin to a taxpayer-funded lobbying operation.”
“The lists of organizations selected to receive funding or partner with those organizations include environmental activist organizations that work to influence public and elected officials to adopt their often-extreme views, such as completely eliminating the use of fossil fuels, which Americans recognize are an important part of an all-of-the-above energy mix,” the report stated.
The report noted that the left-wing environmental groups were pushing the Biden-Harris administration’s anti-fossil fuel agenda.
Taxpayer money funds left-wing political activism
The Climate Justice Alliance was the recipient of a $50 million environmental justice grant from the EPA.
Not only does the group want to ban the use of fossil fuels, but it’s also an outspoken advocate for the Palestinians after the conflict between Israel and Hamas broke out after the October 7 terrorist attack.
The Delaware Valley Citizens Council for Clean Air, which wants to ban fracking and make walking the primary mode of transportation, also received a grant.
Some of the groups didn’t even have environmentalism as the primary activity.
The Southern Poverty Law Center – a group that smears conservatives as bigots – received an environmental justice grant because of “working with Congress and the Biden administration to ensure a permanent ban on offshore drilling.”
Biden’s EPA is running a slush fund with environmental justice as the cover to enrich political allies of the administration.
“It couldn’t be more clear: The Biden-Harris administration rewards its environmental special interests at the expense of the American people. As part of its radical rush-to-green agenda, the administration gave hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to activists who also engage in political activities,” Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee said in a statement.
“It was empowered to do so by congressional Democrats who jammed through legislation that was designed to rush money out the door as quickly as possible with no guards against waste, fraud, and abuse,” the statement added.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris made sure their friends were well taken care of courtesy of taxpayers.
