The Bureau of Land and Management has hired conservative pundit/lawyer William Perry Pendley as its second-in-command. Pendley has tweeted that climate change isn't real and diversity is killing people. mediamatters.org/blog/2019/07/1…

Pendley from this April: "How many have died and how many more will die because of diversity and race-based decision making?"

Pendley on the environment:

"#ClimateChangeIsReal NOT!"

"[Climate science] is political science or junk science, not real science, and it is, as with real science, far from settled!"

"Endangered Species Act is a joke."

Pendley also pushed criticism of the media for supposedly covering up a Somali gang attack in Minnesota. That story was actually false.
