'Its governor, Republican Asa Hutchinson, joined Fox News on Tuesday to lament the huge damage the deluge has caused — moments after praising the Trump administration’s environmental deregulation. '
'His state, he noted, is suffering from “very serious” flooding crisis.“We’re having the record floodwaters coming down the Arkansas river, much from rain in happening in Oklahoma. '
'By rolling back environmental protections and efforts to tackle climate change, the Trump administration — and Hutchinson’s own actions — have helped to fuel climate change’s impacts, such as flooding. '
'Hutchinson — who has a long record of opposing almost all climate and environmental protections — was first asked whether President Donald Trump deserves credit for his state’s improving economy. '
'Last year’s National Climate Assessment released by Trump’s own government warned that climate change will cause more flooding in certain areas, including the southeast region of the United States where Arkansas is located. '
