Scott Perry is unfortunately my representative. In the local paper he usually toes a fine line between trying to sound like he’s doing a “wait-and-see” approach on Trump. In reality, he’s all in for Trump’s policies. This might be his worst gaffe yet...not that it really matters in this red part of PA.

Turns out that even God is a polluter.
That, at least, appears to be what U.S. Rep. Scott Perry, R-Dillsburg, suggested at a town hall Saturday in Red Lion.
Perry, whose district covers parts of York, Dauphin and Cumberland counties, was asked at the forum how he proposes to reclaim and protect air and water reserves with the proposed budget cuts to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Perry said appropriate levels of protection are needed and pointed to the Chesapeake Bay cleanup strategy that he said focused unfairly on point sources of pollution and "left some violators out."
"Some violators, if you are spiritual and believe God, one of the violators was God because the forests were providing a certain amount of nitrates and phosphates to the Chesapeake Bay," Perry said.
His response swiftly generated a round of heckling from the several hundred district residents in attendance.
"It's God that's polluting," one woman shouted.
Another followed with: "God is polluting."
On another front, this is encouraging:

When Perry said, "We must make choices" about budget cuts, the crowd chanted, "No wall, no wall."
