Dem Rep. Melanie Stansbury Falsely Claims Americans May Have To Boil Their Water Because Of Elon Musk! (Video)

Suggests that cutbacks at EPA would trigger massive contamination problems nationwide

It’s true that President Donald Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency and its chief, Elon Musk, have been given great authority.

Under the constitutional powers of the executive branch, they are looking for waste, fraud and inappropriate spending by the federal government and shutting it down.

They’re even trying to claw back some distributions that are out of line.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

But one critic and opponent of the efforts to save American taxpayers’ money, Rep. Melanie Stansbury, D-N.M., has a strangely wild assumption about the power of DOGE.

She thinks that have auditors and economic inspectors in the offices of the Environmental Protection Agency will mean that Americans will have to start boiling their water.

The Whatfinger website posted a number of comments responding, including that, “Congress surely needs to include a basic intelligence screening, when its members believe islands might capsize.”

Stansbury said, “I don’t think there is anyone in America that wants to wake up tomorrow and find out that they have to boil their water because the EPA’s workforce has been escorted out of the building,” she said.

She said that’s a result of DOGE “already here.”

She said she is trying to “make sure that doesn’t happen.”

Actually, local water systems across the nation need to meet state water quality standards and are tested regularly by their operators.

And she claimed DOGE already has “hacked” the EPA system, but actually, under DOGE authority from the White House, they would be given access.

She also complained workers were told their jobs were not secure and they could be escorted out of the building, which, in fact, already has been happening under DOGE campaigns to reduce spending, eliminate fraud and corruption and save tax money.

In fact, there even have been White House orders to review what jobs are being done, and whether those are required by law, in light of the fact federal agencies many times have expanded their authority beyond what their original assignment had been.

Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., joined Stansbury, advocating for more government spending on the same programs. He called himself a latter-day Paul Revere.
