CLEVELAND — Fracking billionaire Harold Hamm said that developing oil is a “matter of national security,” and Donald Trump would help prevent terrorism by making the United States energy independent.

“Every time we can’t drill a well in America, terrorism is being funded!” Hamm said from the convention floor Wednesday night. “It’s been 15 years since 9/11. We can’t ignore this any longer. Climate change isn’t our biggest problem – it’s Islamic terrorism! Every onerous regulation puts American lives at risk. Developing America’s own oil supply is a matter of national security.”
