Scott Pruitt can't answer a yes-or-no question to save his life (or even his ass)

[FSogol]

Scott Pruitt is Trump's scandal-haunted EPA administrator; yesterday, he was called before a Congressional hearing to account for himself and his lavish, tax-funded spending, as well as the paranoid culture of retaliatory firings and demotions at the EPA.

While Congressional Republicans periodically weighed in to call the climate-denying, fossil-fuel-funded career politician a "victim" of Washington politics, Democrats refused to stop asking Pruitt simple, frank questions about his tenure as a federal official, which Pruitt dodged, ducked and evaded.

For example, Rep. Ben Ray Luján [D-NM] had to ask Pruitt three times if he was the administrator of the EPA before Pruitt finally, grudgingly, admitted that he was.

The exchange where Pruitt refuses to admit he runs the EPA is pretty funny, but too long to post here. It has to be seen to be believed.

1. Well, technically Pruitt was confirmed to NOT run the EPA but to dismantle it, so....

So, I can see where he was unsure of how to honestly answer the question. Hahahaha. But sad.

2. Sure he can.

Question: Hey Scott, what’s more important.
Are environmental regulations to guarantee clean air and water more important than corporate profits for your fat cat friends?

Scott (after hilarious laughter): “Oh, hell no, of course not”.

3. Pruitt is just another drumpfian conman that will never give anyone a straight answer.

Pruitt is corrupt, destructive, a liar and must go!
