I think the Trump officials ate their Wheaties this week and/or we're finally entering an age where at least some Republicans are just not going to let themselves be run over by Democrats. The Trump team is running with the ball. They're standing up for the Trump agenda, and fighting back when the Democrats try to stop them. 

We saw Secretary of State Marco Rubio decimated Sen. Chris "I didn't drink the margarita" Van Hollen (D-MD). Then he took out former Democrat vice presidential nominee, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), as the Democrats continued on their wedding march with illegal aliens, something that is a guaranteed divorce from the interests of the American people. Then EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin delivered the perfect line to describe Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), when Schiff attacked him for trying to cut waste and abuse. Schiff just lost his mind in response, but got off by the rules of the Senate, so he was finally silenced.

But Zeldin wasn't quite done yet. There was still Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI). 

Whitehouse was also upset that Zeldin is cutting waste and abuse. It's hilarious; he wanted Zeldin to show him "his schedule" to prove he's reviewed grants, as though Zeldin would be writing down on his schedule every minute detail of the grants he and his team reviewed. Zeldin was astonished at how dumb that is, and he noted his schedule "is publicly released," if Whitehouse wants to check it. 

Nothing exposes the hypocrisy of Congressional Dems like @SenWhitehouse more than the cold hard truth about why I terminated their Green Slush Fund Scam and how I have unapologetically implemented a ZERO tolerance policy for ANY waste and abuse. pic.twitter.com/1yQNlWLU7m

Zeldin told him he's there under oath, telling him he reviewed the grants. What Whitehouse didn't want to deal with is how the Trump team is cleaning house. Zeldin said he promised Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-NE) to go through all the grant funding to check on all possible waste as a top priority for the American people, whether Whitehouse likes it or not.

Zeldin torched Whitehouse, saying he doesn't seem to understand that they have multiple employees looking at these grants. He was telling him under oath. He wouldn't let Whitehouse twist it, because he "insists on EPA lighting taxpayer dollars on fire":

"The American taxpayers - they put President Trump in office because of people like you. They have Republicans in charge of the House and the Senate because of people like you. Because you don't care about 99 percent of the story. You don't want me to go through the list of waste and abuse."

Bottom line? All Democrats know how to do is waste money. They don't want to stop any of this or turn off the spigots pouring out the cash. 

This is what the American people voted for. We want change, and we want action. Finally, some of it is getting done. 

I voted for this!! https://t.co/AI5jFbz9uy
