SOTU Statement: Trump is Worst President Ever for the Environment

Contact

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Tonight is Donald Trump’s third State of the Union Speech, his first since being impeached and just ahead of a Senate vote on whether to remove him from office. 

IN RESPONSE, THE SIERRA CLUB RELEASED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT

“Donald Trump is the worst president for the environment and climate in the history of the United States. What he failed to say tonight is that he has sought relentlessly to gut the clean air, clean water, climate, worker and wildlife protections that make our country great. This is a presidency that continues only under a cloud of deep shame, and which will stay that way throughout history.”
