A third Republican member of Congress has now called for the resignation of embattled Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) on Thursday joined fellow Republican Reps. Carlos Curbelo (FL) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (FL) in calling upon Pruitt to exit the EPA over multiple ethics scandals.

“Congresswoman Stefanik believes it’s in the best interest of the EPA for Mr. Pruitt to resign,” a spokesperson for the New York congresswoman told The Daily Beast. “She will continue to be a strong advocate in Congress for environmental issues that affect our district, which is the proud home of the Adirondacks.”

Stefanik initially made the remarks at a town hall meeting in South Glens Falls.

As bad or worse than the hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money wasted on his ego and his sense of entitlement.

3. I was wrong. It was five careers damaged or maybe 6! (six!) if the agent is another:

Five people shifted or demoted after questioning Pruitt's expenditures:

4. Shitler loves Pruitt, and I have doubts that the bastard will ever resign, regardless of how many

GOP Congresscritters call for his resignation.
