An article published on the San Francisco Chronicle's sister-site on Wednesday offers justification for the increased number of death threats to Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt, saying the threats "make a warped sort of sense."
The article by Mark Morford, whose biography says he has been writing for the Chronicle and sister-site SF Gate since 1998 and is described on the site as "one of the Bay Area's premier yoga instructors," describes Pruitt as a "banally evil, milquetoast, science-denying government administrator" who has been receiving a "surprising-but-then-again-not-really number of death threats."
"Scott Pruitt, the pallid, oily anti-environment corporate shill beloved by the least palatable humans in the corporate world, is getting a lot of death threats, up to five times more than any EPA head in history," writes Morford, who goes on to suggest that the death threats may be coming from "God herself."
"They are, perhaps, coming from environmental advocates, or teachers, or lovers of life and humanity and nature, or distraught mothers, worried that Pruitt’s actions will, quite correctly, endanger the lives of their children," Morford writes. "They are, most likely, coming from God herself."
Morford in the piece accuses Pruitt of creating a sound proof office space so he could "block out the screams of all the children, poor, and elderly he is harming and even (eventually) killing, more or less directly, as he whispers dreamy deregulation porn into the withered, cauliflower ears of coal barons, oil magnates and leathery brothers Koch."
Morford concludes the article by comparing Pruitt to the devil and saying the threats on his life make sense.
‘Wherever [the death threats] are coming from, it does make a warped sort of sense," he writes. "What’s true for Pruitt and Trump is true for the devil himself. When you mean the world ill, the world will mean it right back at you."
Audrey Cooper, the Chronicle's editor in chief, would not comment on the contents of Morford's column, explaining that SFGate.com "currently operates independently from the Chronicle newsroom and occasionally contracts with outside columnists, such as Mark Morford."
"I'm not going to comment on something I had no role in publishing," said Cooper.
Cooper said Morford does not write for the Chronicle‘s newspaper or website.
Cooper directed questions on Morford's piece to the publisher of SF Gate, who has yet to provide comment.
Both the Chronicle and SF Gate are owned by Hearst Communications.

Coming from the same people who applauded the tragedy of covering hundreds of square miles of Californias Mojave and Sonoran desert with seas of black glass panels that stretch further than the eye can see to entire mountain sides and crests covered in bird chopping blight. Anybody who has never seen these real and true crimes against nature should go visit california, but be prepared to weep, especially if you have previously seen and have fond memories of these areas scattered across the entire state.
And those hideous windmills.
Making threats against 0bama officials = bad.
Making threats against Trump officials = good.
Wishing Morford would go soak his head (for a looooong time) = good!
Poor ability to form opinions is a bad combination with the tendency to believe strongly in them.
Morford’s mental health is very much at issue - please ignore his ramblings
Far be it from me to contradict one of the Bay Area's premier yoga instructors, but the Left has always arrogated to itself a monopoly on violence and it the first to scream like little girls when it's turned back their direction. The latter happens so seldom they have to lie about it.
I mean, if your mental capacity is limited to thinking these death threats are justified but you don’t particularly care much about the topic in general, that’s one thing.
But this guy believes it strongly enough to have an article published about it.
Shooting of Kate Steinle, also good? Or does this Morford chump stand on high with his selection processes?
You’re living in his head, rent free.
My gaydar just self-immolated....Morford has been a mental case for years. I’m quite surprised, and disappointed, I guess, that he isn’t in a box himself.
I occasionally run across something Morfag has written but I had never seen a picture until this thread. I’m glad to see my gaydar is still in operating condition.
What a Surprise! NOT! Is anyone surprised that the party of Antifa threatens? Inexpensive, abundant energy is exactly what Obambi tried to destroy. Look up phraseology like ‘keep it in the ground.’ Obambi and Billary supported selling coal to the Chicoms, so it is not about NOT burning coal, it is about AMERICA NOT burning coal, or natural gas, or any thing else that will make America great. American companies left the continent in search of inexpensive, abundant energy. They will return to an America with inexpensive, abundant energy. We have only drilled a few short miles into the Earth. There is so much oil, coal and natural gas, only a fool (or an Anti American President) would support ‘keep it in the ground.’
Creepozoids All.
There is nothing new about this “charisma”. Stalin, Napolean, Genghis Khan, Chavez... the list is endless. All evil.
