Wyoming Republican Representative Harriet Hageman has once again found herself facing an angry crowd while attempting to defend a Trump administration policy.

The congresswoman tried to justify the government’s planned repeal of the Environmental Protection Agency’s landmark “endangerment finding” to a crowd of voters at a town hall event in the rural town of Pinedale, Wyoming.

The Endangerment Finding is a determination by the EPA that greenhouse gases in the atmosphere pose a threat to public health and welfare, requiring action to reduce emissions. It is based on extensive scientific evidence linking such gases to climate change.

“The endangerment finding is absolutely based upon false science,” Hageman claimed. Her comments were met with a chorus of boos and heckles, with locals shouting, “No!” and others chanting, “Lie, lie!” as she attempted to press on.

As a note - WY only has a single "at-Large" seat. This used to be the seat that Lynne Cheney held.

1. Wyoming, of all places.

Democrats are few and far between.

[Historic NY]

7. They better dig one up soon,

9. That state has been Republican throughout its history

List of its senators

List of governors

Political party strength

The last time a Democrat was elected senator over there was in 1970.

Republicans have had majorities in the state legislature nearly every session since 1939.

Only twice since 1944 did WY vote D for president (Truman and LBJ).

Since 1944, only one Democrat has been elected to the WY single US house district, Teno Roncalio for non consecutive terms in the '60s and 70s. (One of WY’s reps, William Henry Harrison III, was a descendant of both Presidents Harrison.)

But for governor, Wyoming did have two Democrats in charge from 1975-95, then another from 2003-11, Dave Freudenthal, who like Gray Davis in my state of CA was an outlier in the Republican landslide year of 2002. Then in 2006, Wyoming had an odd bipartisan landslide we won’t see for decades: Freudenthal won re election by 40 points, same margin as R senator Craig Thomas!

16. Wyoming is like a Republican district of Colorado that also gets TWO Senators.

2. Funny how these Trump sycophants will do anything he tells them to do, but they keep having

town halls and getting their asses kicked! That is after their God King told them to NOT hold any town halls months ago.

[Old Crank]

3. Good

but will it leave an opening for any Democratic candidate running?

[murielm99]

4. Doubtful.

[radical noodle]

5. I wonder if they're beginning

to miss Liz Cheney? She actually might have a shot at running again.

[Historic NY]

6. Santos must be on work release....

[mountain grammy]

8. Well they kept electing Liz when she lied constantly about Democrats

They quit voting for her when she told the truth about republicans

[SouthBayDem]

10. Did Joe Wilson move to Wyoming?

He must have gotten exhausted with the humidity in SC.

[Grins]

12. I think all Representatives should be "at-Large" seats. nt

[2naSalit]

13. Right on Pinedale!

One of the towns in Sublette County where you can set your tap water on fire with a match!

They've had enough of the legislature giving extractive industries carte blanche when it comes to the environment.
