Could it get any worse?? Lil’ Lauren is asking Rump to put HER in charge of drilling for oil and mining coal — on native lands! Firstly — is she aware that native soil is NOT US soil? (Though I’m not an expert — could US force native tribes to exploit their lands?) Second — well, look for yourself:

Lauren Boebert uses Republican National Convention to ask Trump for a specific job
… During a Wednesday interview at the Republican National Convention, the Native Voice One podcast asked Boebert who Trump should name as secretary of the interior.
"I think Lauren Boebert needs to be secretary of the interior," Boebert said. "President Trump, I would like to be secretary of the interior."
"Public lands are something that are very dear to me, and I've spent a lot of time on our tribal lands with our chairman and our council members," she continued.
"I am pro-fossil fuels oil and gas and I especially want to explore nuclear," she explained. "But I think that our tribal lands are impacted severely when we are shutting down our coal-fired energy plants."
"States like Colorado, we have some of the cleanest coal in the entire world...
...We have a lot of drilling that takes place and I believe that that is a cleaner way to take care of the environment and extract those resources that we have been blessed with to use what's given to us by the earth to produce this energy in a clean and efficient way rather than just covering it up with solar panels and wind turbines killing so many vital species," she opined.
Opined… OMG. Translation: she’s already been approached by Big Oil and she’s READY to sell out. Stop this nightmare!
