Anti-Drilling Trout Unlimited Crying Over $180M in Frozen Funds

For more than 13 years MDN has harped on the fact that groups like Trout Unlimited are filled with extremist anti-drillers (see our article Anti-Drilling Close-up: Trout Unlimited from October 2012). In February 2014, a national organization aimed a spotlight on Trout Unlimited and several other so-called “conservation” groups (see Trout Unlimited, Other Groups Outted as Radical Green Groups). The Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) said TU and several other groups, while starting with good intentions, have been “co-opted by wealthy grant-making bodies notorious for their support of anti-gun, radical environmentalist agendas” all the while pretending to support hunters and fishermen. Now comes word that anti-drilling TU is being funded with OUR tax dollars---some $180 million of our tax dollars. Trump and the DOGE team have frozen that funding and TU is crying like a baby.
