Scott Pruitt Is Either A Liar Or Grossly Incompetent [Barf]
Yahoo ^ | Apr 25, 2018 | Kurt Bardella

Earlier this month, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt denied having any conflicts of interest with Steven Hart, the lobbyist who’s home he has been renting a room in for the generous rate of $50 a day. “Mr. Hart has no client that has business before this agency,” Pruitt said.

But new disclosures reveal that the lobbyist met directly with Pruitt at EPA headquarters in July of 2017. Hart’s firm Williams & Jensen has represented Smithfield Foods, the world’s largest pork producer, for more than a decade and continued to lobby EPA on their behalf in early 2018.

In February, Pruitt said he flies first class on the taxpayer dime because of security threats, and that it wasn’t his decision.

But when taxpayers aren’t picking up the bill, Pruitt has flown coach multiple times, even though he is still accompanied by security on those trips.

And now, according to a letter from Congressional Democrats to House oversight committee chair Trey Gowdy that was made public Monday, new documents provided to Congress seem to show how Pruitt’s explanations for his so-called sophisticated surveillance precautions don’t hold water.

A comment from the post on Yahoo:It appears the demented liberals are VERY upset that President Trump and Scott Pruitt have our country's best interest at heart.

Scott Pruitt Is Either A Liar Or Grossly Incompetent

Proving once again that projection and hypocrisy are the staples of the left, the author fails to recognize that the headline would have been far more truthful had he changed "Scott Pruitt" to "Hillary Clinton."

I wonder where this journalist learned English?

the lobbyist who’s home he has been renting a room in...

So-called professional 'communications specialist' Kurt Bardella appears not to understand the difference between "who's" and "whose". Bardella evidently faces other challenges when it comes to using proper English grammar.

Is this the same Kurt Bardella who loudly proclaimed his 'change' from Republican to Democrat last year? Most likely that was a 'coming out of the closet' event for a long-time, stealth, die-hard Democrat concern-troll, rather than an actual act of conscience or change of opinion by an intelligent, thinking person.

That would certainly seem to explain why Kurt Bardella's writings about Republicans (such as this article) all seem to be larded with vituperation, name-calling, and questionable assertions of 'fact'. Bardella seems to have taken issue with Roy Moore's condemnation of homosexuality - not sure whether that means that Bardella himself is an oh-so-typically intolerant, single-issue advocate and/or practitioner of homosexuality, or whether he has other internal demons that are driving his strident hatred of Republicans.

I don’t care if Pruit even charters flights, as long as it is government business and not going on vacations on the public dime like Nancy Pelosi.
