Pruitt Launches Campaign to Save His Job

“EPA chief Scott Pruitt and his allies in the administration are on a mission to save his job — offering a blitz of interviews to friendly media outlets while separately accusing a former agency staffer of a cascade of damaging leaks. But the White House made it clear Wednesday that President Trump is not pleased with all the negative headlines surrounding him,” Politico reports.

“Pruitt’s challenges appeared to deepen when White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders — asked why Trump is ‘OK’ with the leader of the Environmental Protection Agency renting a condo from a lobbyist for $50 a night — responded that ‘the president’s not.’”

The Daily Beast reports White House chief of staff John Kelly called Pruitt to say that, “though he has the full public confidence of President Trump for now, the flow of negative and damning stories needed to stop soon.”

Jonathan Swan: “If nothing else bad comes out against Pruitt, they’ll probably ride through the storm with him. But should more damaging stories surface — especially ones that demonstrate poor ethical judgement — Pruitt could be abandoned in a flash. Trump is uneasy about the situation, and has his finger in the wind.”

1. Hey Kelly! Tell Pruitt that all of us here in the hinterlands,

you know, the ones who have to work for a living, why we all are right with Mr. Pruitt in hopes that he'll be able to skim more hundreds of thousands of our tax money into his and his cronies' pockets. You see, we like being robbed and kicked to the curb. We like it when a true, breathing prick takes our money and then lies by pretending that he didn't know he did it. We like it when conniving worms like Pruitt think everyone in the nation are just dumb shits who deserve to be robbed.

So, Mr. Kelly, why don't you tell Mr. Pruitt to come here, to my corner of dumbshit America, and tell me to my face that he deserves to be treated like royalty and he'll use my money to do it, then lie to me about it. I've got a few dumbshit surprises for him in response. Respectfully, of course.

3. He is one of the reasons

OK is in the mess we are in right now. Crook with a capital C. Like most OK politicians the only thing he cares about are Jesus and oil.

4. It is in the best interest of the oil and gas companies that this tool remain.

Of course they are going to try and save him. Just don't send him back to us, he will run for Senate with Big Jim I retires.
