Fox Nation Promotes Absurd Conspiracy Theory That EPA "Foul[ed] Up" Animas River "On Purpose"

On August 12, FoxNation.com republished portions of a post by The Gateway Pundit headlined, "Letter to Editor PREDICTED COLORADO EPA SPILL One Week Before Catastrophe So EPA Could Secure Control of Area." Fox Nation highlighted the portion of the Gateway Pundit post in which author Jim Hoft wrote: "The letter detailed verbatim, how EPA officials would foul up the Animas River on purpose in order to secure superfund money. If the Gold King mine was declared a superfund site it would essentially kill future development for the mining industry in the area. The Obama EPA is vehemently opposed to mining and development."

in the next few months. I can hear the screaming when FEMA and other agencies "Swoop" in to help the affected areas. I just know Obama has a weather-controlling machine hidden in the hills of Virginia just for such a thing.
