Those should have been his last words as a federal employee.

I do remember seeing how the Ivanka and fam were treated flying coach.

1. 99.99% of the public would never recognize him.
2. If you can’t stand the heat (it’s not global warming), then get out of the kitchen.

Get rid of the EPA and replace it with a much smaller, de-weaponized version that actually does good for the nation and its people. This guy is “in trouble” because of Obama and his goons weaponizing the EPA, the IRS, etc as political weapons.

Keep draining Mr. President....

Yeah...that would be the unhinged environMENTAL whack jobs who are friends with the guy who wrote this article. He should have secret service protection. Remember the people who tried to “arrest” Dick Cheney on the street! Yeah...those freaks!

How does whats-her-name from Houston get to bump other 1st Class Passengers and get away with it? Who is paying for her to fly that level?

Granted his comment was idiotic ... OTH, Mooch took a separate plane on a number of occasions ... I didn’t notice the MSM taking issue with that.

Wasn't it something very similar that got Tom Price fired?

I kind of agree with him. Why should he have to be subjected to constant abuse by never-Trumpers, Enviro nuts,BLM,etc.

In many parts of the country a person risks their life by wearing a MAGA hat.Think about what this guy has to endure.

In first class the attendants are right there and will stop people from abusing him.

I have some sympathy for Pruitt on this.

His outstanding work at EPA have put him in the crosshairs of every radical environmental nut in the world.

He has been set up for confrontations by people who leaked his schedule and itinerary that weren't just unpleasant, they were dangerous.

Controlled access of Business or First Class is vital to his safety and sanity.

The guy is at the Director level and still fly commercial - his Obama predecessor flew around on the same government business jets used and abused by Loretta Lynch - so it's not like he is abusing travel allotments

Given the left physically attacks Trump Administration members, he should not fly in coach.

Funny article. It reminds of the guy who, after threatening to kill someone with the gun he's holding, says to the cops who show up, "What? I was just kidding!"

I seem to recall Mr. Pruitt receiving death threats because he doesn't swallow the glow-bull warming scam of the Left. Conservatives don't threaten people with violence, only the Left does that. I say protect him so he can do his job.

Don’t fall for the Alinskyite bait.

Guys. Pruitt is a hero. He has doe the lord’s work defanging EPA.

He is worth a million times his salary and I under minute by minute assault for undoing a key plank of the Chinese effort to gut American manufacturing

Next time, thunk. See the big picture.

He gets verbally assaulted in public all the time. Berated in resteraunts, etc. The progressives want him dead. I’m fine with him in 1st class. Guy’s one of the best on the team. He don’t need that shiite.

My understanding is that this is bigly fake news. His seat placement was decided by his security personnel, not him. He is one of the brightest stars in the cabinet, IMHO.

I am sure Pruitt didn’t say unpleasant encounters with taxpayers

Considering the left is aggressive and threatening on a good day he has probably been attacked and threatened

Proof Liberal intimidation works. When these people step beyond lawful redress and jump into social Warrior they need 90 days of waiting for their first bail hearing, but we aren’t going there instead, they want to blame a cabinet head for a flight upgrade.

I don’t have a problem with him flying 1st class. Flying commercial alone is a plus.

Could be worse, like Pelosi flying a gov jet, not just any jet, one capable of non-stop coast to coast even in a strong headwind. Then run up a bar tab in the $ thousands.

Funny, never heard the MSM crowing about those abuses and others during Zer0’s admin.
