Democratic Senator Demands Andrew Wheeler Resign

  • 6 years ago

A Democratic senator is calling for Andrew Wheeler, the acting administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, to step down over social media activity that included interactions with a racist meme and conspiracy mongers.
Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) said Tuesday that Wheeler should “do the right thing” and “resign immediately” hours after HuffPost reported that the EPA chief engaged with inflammatory content on his personal Facebook and Twitter accounts.
