Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is now demanding that President Joe Biden withdraw his nominee to head the Bureau of Land Management, Tracy Stone-Manning, after revelations that she had previous involvement with a notorious eco-terrorist ring.
As Fox News reports:
Every Republican on the Senate Energy Committee already signed a letter Wednesday urging Biden to pull Stone-Manning’s nomination, but now Fox News has exclusively learned that the highest-ranking Senate Republican has thrown his support behind the effort to stop Stone-Manning’s confirmation process.
“We now know that President Biden’s nominee to run the Bureau of Land Management lied to the Senate about her alleged participation in eco-terrorism,” McConnell said in a statement to Fox News. “The White House should immediately withdraw her nomination.”
The controversy surrounds Stone-Manning’s ties to a “tree-spiking” operation meant to sabotage logging efforts in the 1980s. During her Senate confirmation process, Stone-Manning told senators in a questionnaire that she had never been the target of a law enforcement investigation.
New information from a retired United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service investigator and Army veteran Michael Merkley cast doubt on Stone-Manning’s repeated attempts to distance herself from the tree-spiking incident in Idaho’s Clearwater National Forest, which happened when she was a graduate student involved with the environmental group Earth First!

Perhaps it’s not that much of a surprise that a radical left-wing President like Biden would choose a nominee that has direct ties to actual terrorists.
Wow!
What are you writing?! “Nominee” is singular and “their” is plural. Your headline writer needs to go to re-education camp.
Correct. But we can’t use pronouns like “her” anymore, right? Ha
“It” is an adequate descriptor.
You’re nitpicking of a grammatical blunder is ignorant, as you do not address the seriousness of trying to appoint such radically leftist people to important positions in our government!
Let’s do both. Get radicals out of government, AND improve our grammar!
You are a nit picker and that is NOT a compliment! STOP being so critical, the world has become a critical MESS! How about we ALL learn to love one another and not to be nit pickers. By the way, nit picking is MOST CHILDISH!
why are you here ?
You are correct
If the commiecrats gets enough power that’s where a lot of us are heading. But I’m too stupid to be reeducated so I’ll be exterminated
so germane to the point. Hey what is the derivative of say x squared (give you an easy one) and what is a derivative. Quick google. The point is you pretend to be an expert on english, maybe you are and maybe not. But that doesn’t mnean you are smart just you can memorizd rules. Who cares.
Now to the point, I have heard this news before but the dems will appoint because they all have and are doing things that are totally illegal and tthey love to have criminals as their buddies in arms. No supprise here. Look to chipman (sh.. did I spell that right, I am sure you’ll let me know if you know of whom I speak(.
and your whole concern here is grammar?????
Another shameless LIAR…just like Joe Blow. Why am I not surprised?
If she is CATHOLIC then she is a traitor, just like joe.
Being called or affirmed as “a traitor” means nothing anymore. As a matter of fact, it’s a pre-requisite and mandatory for becoming a Democrat!
perfect..
Think about this… If approved SHE would have the authority to make policies connected to federal parks and lands, those policies would then be treated as law… HOWEVER… She is not congress… she would legally have no authority to make or enforce any policies that could be considered and treated as laws… why? only one group of people have the authority to make an pass laws… thats congress… LEARN THE CONSTITUTION we the people are being forced to live under POLICIES that never see a congressional vote yet those policies are treated as though they are laws…
Shouldn’t the same apply to Our “so-called” Commander-in-Chief? He, with signature ended jobs immediately and allowed Putin his gasoline to be delivered by pipeline to Germany!
Yeah what about the old cry “Russia, Russia, Russia”?? Does he nominate anyone not connected to Marxism, communism, or CCP??? This must be a prerequisite for cabinet position???
Biden’s choices for government posts are so foul, I’m surprised he didn’t pick Jane Fonda for Secretary of State….
No more terrorists, in the hidenbiden administration, there is already enough incompetence, in his administration, we need to start impeaching and removing, some of these traitors to our country.
Problem is if we threw them out of the country…. they would just be WELCOMED BACK WITH OPEN ARMS ON THE SOUTHERN BORDER 🤨
While McConnell is saying NO to this Criminal in Public the real question is will he do the same in private. His actions scream that he will vote for this TERRORIST.
All I can say is…Sen Mitch McConnell, IT’S ABOUT TIME, THAT YOU NOTICED!!
This information has been available for at least the last month, and well before that!
Leftists/Democrats can’t tell the Truth, ever! Why is this a surprise??
It does seem rather strange that so many “activists”, “Socialists”, “Marxists” are hanging around in the wings of the Emperor’s Democrat party and that party seems to give them so much say in “Operation Communist Coup” that they have going on right now. The only surprise I guess is that, they are not even trying to hide the fact that they are overrun by un-American operatives that have always worked to defeat America, it’s Constitution and it’s Freedoms. And what about that Progressive Caucus. That is about a 100 active Congressmen and women that are stone cold commies. What do you make of that? And just in case you are inclined to believe that is misinformation, “progressive” is another word for “socialist” and that is the precursor of Communism. Look them up, Congressional Progressive Caucus. See if your representative is one of their comrades.
Why is it that the radical left women are so ugly?
all of biden’s picks are incompetent, but then that is what the dems are looking for
