Washington, DC -- Today, Politico is reporting that embattled Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke has reached out to Fox News about the possibility of becoming a contributor for the channel after he is removed or resigns under the slew of ethical and legal investigations.
In response, Sierra Club Our Wild America Director Lena Moffitt released the following statement:
“After spending nearly the last two years being forced to watch Ryan Zinke sell-out our public lands and break ethical norms and possibly laws, we needed a good laugh. But as a former representative himself, Zinke shouldn’t forget that the House’s power of subpoena extends all the way to cable television”
