White House chief of staff John Kelly has urged President Trump to fire embattled EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, whose ethics and judgment are being questioned over a series of decisions he has made involving spending, housing and his management style.
Kelly and other White House officials have concluded that Pruitt should leave, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday. But Trump is continuing to back Pruitt, viewing him as an effective implementer of his deregulatory agenda by gutting or delaying a number of EPA regulations imposed by the Obama administration.
Trump on Friday decried what he views as a media “siege” facing the EPA chief and rejected other reports that have suggested he is considering replacing Attorney General Jeff Sessions with Pruitt.
I hope TRUMP doesn't listen to John Kelly!!!

Pruitt is implementing everything TRUMP wants unlike Sulkin who clashed with TRUMP
Pruitt is dismantling burdensome environmental regulations that have hobbled the economy. That's all that matters. The other stuff doesn't trouble me in the least.
It’s more fake news. Relax.
Pruitt is hitting the brakes on Obama's failed fuel economy standards

Yep. I did exactly that.
>>Scott Pruitt is by far the best EPA Administrator we’ve ever had.<<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Absolutely! He MUST STAY!
One of the Presdident’s GREATEST DECISIONS of 2017 was pulling out of the EVIL Paris Climate agenda-—Obama’s Trojan Horse to DESTROY AMERICA.
I’m more inclined to think this is fake news before summarily throwing Kelly under the bus.
He did FIRE Anthony Scaramucci who was a pretty loyal TRUMP guy over some stupid cursing, big whoop!
BS, Kelly didn’t say it, OR it is a purposeful kitty red dot special.
I don’t know how much of this is misinformation by moles still in the white house.
Democrats never fire people! Admonish him, and forget it!
Then you should get up to date.
Pruitt was interviewed aggressively by Ed Henry of Fox News Thursday, and made it clear that when he learned of the proposed raises on Wednesday, he shut it down immediately.
This. Liberals believe that the EPA rightfully belongs to them and is off limits when they're not in power.
Don’t do it Mr. President and if Gen. Kelley has a problem with it, show him the door. You’re the boss, not him.
4 Apr: TheLid: Media Campaign Against EPA’s Scott Pruitt Orchestrated By Obama & Clinton Cronies
by J.E. Dyer
The EIP is a nonprofit founded in 2002 by Eric Schaeffer, a disgruntled EPA official. Here is how EIP describes it...
EIP has a strong animus against coal, as you can learn from the website...
Regarding funding, prominent sources for EIP, as documented by a congressional report in 2014, are the Wallace Global Foundation and the Energy Foundation, which in turn gets much of its funding from the Sea Change Foundation set up by renewables billionaire Nat Simons, a major beneficiary of Obama’s green-energy cronyism. (And yes, both foundation sources send money to and from the Tides Foundation and others in the standard list of progressive and radical-left money sumps.)...

5 Apr: Breitbart: James Delingpole: Scott Pruitt Is Doing Great. Trump Cannot Afford to Let the Green Blob Claim His Scalp
The knives are out for Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt.
It’s so blatant that even liberals have noticed...
Pruitt is paying a terrible price for the crime of being the most effective player in Trump’s administration. And, of course, for daring to take on the most powerful vested interest in the swamp – the Green Blob, aka the Climate Industrial Complex...
Consider the array of Blobsters trying to bring Pruitt down.
Besides the usual leftist suspects such as John Podesta their number also includes conservatives such as The Weekly Standard‘s Bill Kristol, the Washington Post‘s Jennifer Rubin and former New Jersey governor Chris Christie.
What on earth did Pruitt do wrong?...
As Mollie Hemingway notes in this excellent piece for The Federalist Pruitt’s predecessors got a more or less free pass from an uncritical media...
Hemingway goes on to finger the real reason for all this anti-Pruitt sentiment:
“For many people on the left, EPA regulations touch on quasi-religious views. They treat people like Pruitt as heretics who must be destroyed.”...
The knives are out for Pruitt because he has done such a devastatingly effective job.
Trump cannot afford to let the swamp claim his best player’s scalp.
