Senator Josh Hawley Grills Biden BLM Director Over Alleged Eco-Terrorism Cover-Up

In a recent oversight hearing, Republican Senator Josh Hawley confronted Bureau of Land Management (BLM) director Tracy Stone-Manning over allegations of dishonesty regarding her reported ties to eco-terrorism. Stone-Manning, a Biden nominee, was challenged by Hawley for allegedly lying about her involvement in an eco-terrorism incident during her graduate school days.

Stone-Manning denied facing an investigation despite evidence suggesting otherwise. Hawley accused Stone-Manning of misleading the Senate Energy Committee by downplaying the severity of eco-terrorism and emphasized that such acts put lives at risk. Stone-Manning’s past connection to an issue of Earth First journal that celebrated the deactivation of a probe into a tree-spiking incident further raised concerns.

Stone-Manning had previously been granted legal immunity in 1993 to testify about her role in a 1989 tree-spiking incident, which she had initially denied being a part of. During the hearing, Stone-Manning also faced scrutiny over the BLM’s handling of energy and mining project restrictions in Alaska, drawing criticism from Senator Lisa Murkowski and Native American groups.


This is not the first time that a Biden nominee has faced scrutiny for their past actions. In the past, Biden has nominated individuals with controversial backgrounds, raising questions about his judgment and the vetting process for his nominees.

The Biden administration has faced criticism for its handling of various issues, including inflation and the economy. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen recently claimed that the typical American is somewhat better off, despite evidence to the contrary. Inflation has risen significantly under the Biden administration, with the price of everyday goods such as eggs, ground beef, and bread increasing significantly.

The Biden administration has also faced criticism for its handling of foreign policy issues, including the conflict in Gaza. President Biden’s proposed three-point proposal for an end to the Gaza conflict has been criticized for being highly vague on how to ensure Hamas does not rebuild its power in the Strip. The possibility of Hamas adopting the Hezbollah model in Gaza has garnered recent attention as a feasible strategy for the jihadist movement to maintain its military and political influence while ostensibly relinquishing civilian governance in Gaza to a nominally independent technocratic authority or the Palestinian Authority.

The Biden administration has faced criticism from Republicans and conservatives for its handling of various issues, including the economy, inflation, and foreign policy. The recent grilling of BLM director Tracy Stone-Manning by Senator Josh Hawley is just the latest example of the scrutiny that the Biden administration is facing from its critics.
