Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) appeared on CNBC’s Squawk Box to discuss a bipartisan, bicameral Congressional Review Act (CRA) aimed at repealing President Biden’s electric vehicle tax credit rule. During the interview, Congresswoman Miller asserted that the credit rule is illegal and emphasized the need for government protection of American companies.

On how the CRA will support American manufacturers, Miller stated: "[The Biden Administration] is giving tax credits and money to [Chinese entities] that should go to American companies. [Congress] passed a law that entities who make electric vehicles with an input of critical minerals [from our adversaries] should not be awarded [tax credits]. There has been a ruling through the Treasury Department that [argues] you can’t tell if graphite is traceable, which isn’t true because the people who manufacture the graphite in the United States say it absolutely is [traceable]. I know that our President is so [focused] on making everything ‘green’, but Congress makes the law and so it is my opinion, as well as my fellow Congressional members, that this [ruling] is wrong. It is illegal and it should not happen. We need to protect our American manufacturers and our American people."

When asked whether she opposes subsidizing electric vehicles, Miller responded: "Government subsidies isn’t the natural way things happen in the United States. We work hard, we get ahead. If you’ve got a government subsidy, who are you not subsidizing? Why are you picking winners and losers? We shouldn’t."
