Condemned

Statement summary

Amo said he stood against what he called Donald Trump's reckless action forcing union workers out of work and raising energy prices, and said he would not be silent about what he called the weaponization of the federal government to disrupt clean energy investment.

“I’m proud to link arms with leaders in our state to stand against Donald Trump’s reckless action that forces union workers out of work and hikes energy prices I will not be silent in the face of the weaponization of the federal government to disrupt clean energy investments that will lower costs for Rhode Islanders and advance solutions to the climate crisis”

Why we used this label

The case asks whether the federal halts of Revolution Wind construction were justified. Amo says he stands against Donald Trump's reckless action that forces union workers out of work and hikes energy prices, and says he will not be silent about what he called the weaponization of the federal government to disrupt clean energy investments. The release presents his remarks as a response to the stop-work order, and they reject the halt itself, so we used the Condemned label.
