Scott Pruitt Is Safe—for Now
Scott Pruitt Is Safe—for Now
"""
Pruitt looked like a goner. [...] By the evening of April 5, an aggressive advocacy campaign to save his job had kicked into gear as activists, business executives, and Republican politicians came to his defense.
[...]
Pruitt has emerged as the deregulation star of Trump’s cabinet, methodically dismantling rules [...] “Pruitt is the most conservative member of the cabinet, both in temperament and action. He’s also the guy who has done the most for the president’s agenda.”
[...]
Environmental groups are stepping up opposition research and a “boot Pruitt” campaign on Twitter. The Sierra Club broadcast a critical ad on Fox News Channel’s Fox & Friends, which the president watches faithfully. Activists are scouring Pruitt’s real estate transactions, records from his tenure as Oklahoma’s attorney general, and documentation of his travel for any tantalizing detail. “The environmental movement in total is all in for the removal of Scott Pruitt,” says Lukas Ross, a campaigner with the group Friends of the Earth. “You are going to see escalating pressure in the coming days, especially on the Senate side, to get members to commit publicly that Pruitt should be fired.”
