Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) AdministratorĀ Michael ReganĀ clashed with conservative firebrand Rep.Ā Lauren BoebertĀ (R-Colo.) during a tense House hearing ā€” asking her if she understood the Supreme Courtā€™s ruling that overturned a legal precedent known asĀ the Chevron deference.

Boebert, duringĀ an Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing Wednesday, asked Regan whether the EPA would repeal any ā€œunconstitutional regulationsā€ enacted by ā€œrogue bureaucratsā€ because of the decision.

In response, Regan asked her, ā€œDo you understand the ruling?ā€
