“We’re happy he recognizes the importance of the Badger Two-Medicine,” Tawney said, referring to the 203-square-mile (526-square-kilometer) area south of Glacier that Zinke recommends be a monument. “Places that are very similar in fashion, like Bears Ears, he’s not quite protecting. … You can’t talk out of both sides of your mouth.”

Another weak attempt at obfuscation by equating a 200 square mile monument to a 2000 square mile monument despite the fact that one is obviously ten times larger than the other. 

Zinke isn't opposed to Bears Ears. He is opposed to the size of Bears Ears.
