GOP Rep. Scott Perry Says Chesapeake Bay Pollution Is Gods Fault

A Republican congressman from Pennsylvania claims that God is a polluter.

Rep. Scott Perry was asked at a town hall in Red Lion on Saturday if he supported President Donald Trump’s proposed cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency in light of Pennsylvania’s “history of environmental problems.”

“Don’t we need a stronger EPA to protect the environment?” the questioner asked.

Perry, who has worked to restrict and limit the EPA’s abilities, didn’t directly answer the question.

used prayer to get God to clean up our messes!

Actually, think of how much we could save on the military if we just prayed for God to bomb Russia...

After all, since nearly half of all fertilized eggs fail to implant in the uterus, that makes his god the #1 leading abortionist of all time.
