Leave it to the biased media to find a way to blame the Tea Party for every tragedy. But depend on conservative firebrand Michelle Malkin to call them out on it.
Malkin became enraged on Wednesday when she spotted Politico’s Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Matt Wuerker’s attempt to use the Animas River disaster in Colorado — a disaster caused by the Environmental Protection Agency — to slam the tea party.
(Warning: Tough language ahead.)
Un. F*cking. Believable. And u know if I were on @AceofSpadesHQ podcast right now, I wouldn’t be using the “*.” ==> https://t.co/em3r4vKApp

Wuerker’s cartoon portrays “dirty coalmines” surrounding a contaminated river with two “EPA workers” ready to clean it up, while a character dressed in a shirt that looks suspiciously like a yellow Gadsden Flag, stands by “cluelessly” blaming the government.

Only the toxic goo spillage is the fault of the Environmental Protection Agency, and EPA chief, Gina McCarthy has taken “full responsibility” for the horrific event.
Although, that didn’t go over well with Malkin either.
Only on rare occasions that I spell this out, but it’s necessary. Fuck you @epa #environmentalpollutionagency ==> https://t.co/lksq2Vs75P

“Full responsibility” doesn’t mean what #environmentalpollutionagency thinks it means==> https://t.co/NGOKmALBtJ

But what does any of that matter to a cartoonist with a one-sided agenda? Any tragedy is a reason to slam the Tea Party and hope it infuses into the brains of uninformed voters.
It was all just rocket fuel for Malkin’s fire.

@michellemalkin @politico @wuerker This is the same EPA that wants to close coal burning power plants to force the cost of energy to go up.

Why, yes, yes it is.

Ding, ding, ding!
Malkin’s supporters notified her of a story breaking nearly at the same time as her Twitter rage:
@michellemalkin @noblefacts @politico @wuerker expert letter warning public of that EPA disaster appeared in local paper a week BEFORE it.

@Pablo_1791 @wuerker @michellemalkin @politico did you all see this: http://t.co/ucUfc2oTJ5

According to the Gateway Pundit, a geologist’s letter-to-the-editor in a local Colorado newspaper predicted the EPA disaster one week before it happened. The geologist claimed the EPA would create a tragedy to secure superfund money and halt future mining in the area.
You can bet Malkin would be looking into it, if she wasn’t already.
In the meantime, her followers had her back.
This is, like, the 2nd F bomb I’ve seen @michellemalkin drop in less than 3 minutes. Take it to them, Michelle! @AceofSpadesHQ

“@michellemalkin @AceofSpadesHQ Michelle..the “Tea Party” will get the last laugh this Prez election… they’re protecting their EPA buddies

@michellemalkin @AceofSpadesHQ First off,they need a better cartoonist. Secondly, did you expect anything less? Americans see thru his BS
— L Gambino Fessler (@LGambino1) August 12, 2015
Sadly, not all Americans do. That’s why we’re in this mess.
@michellemalkin liberals fuck everything up, then blame someone else, and the ignorant voters believe it

@0ryuge @wuerker @R_U_Srs @michellemalkin @politico yea…Blame it on Bush in 3-2-1 go
— CJ (@CJack62) August 13, 2015
Perhaps he didn’t blame Bush because the former president is beginning to look pretty good to just about everybody right now.
