John Kelly urging Trump to fire EPA's Scott Pruitt: Report
Washington Examiner ^ | Josh Siegel

Posted on 04/06/2018 3:45:59 PM PDT by KavMan

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!!!

What is the specific reason Pruitt should leave? Does anyone have a hint? Brett Bair and Kelly should leave. They are smearing a good man with not a shred of evidence of anything. I commend Trump for seeing this as it really is— a “nothing burger” . Go0 Scott keep cutting the EPA to the bone!!

Between this and the constant media leaks out of the WH, it is clear John Kelly should be fired.

I think it possible you should not let the Failed Media do your thinking for you. Try learning some facts about it rather then repeating the media lies about Pruitt.

“Try learning some facts”

It seems you are challenged with facts. Pruitt has documented ethics issues.

He rented a Georgetown condo from a DC lobbyist (one which would lobby his agency) for $50 month. Market rent there would be $2,500 month.

And, he’s quite free with taxpayer dollars on his expenses for travel and accommodations. Probably legal, but certainly extravagant. Even Trump put his foot down on that one.

That’s not to say he has not been doing good work.

He has.

But he’s attracting too many flies.

I just read updated article where he is stating this and blames it on staff members. I sure hope that is the truth.

>>Pruitt is his best cabinet pick... This shows Kelly’s true color<<

Advice to President Trump: Give Pruitt a raise, fire Kelly, and give those who don’t like it the middle finger salute.

>>He’s against the wall and vehemently opposed to troops securing the border. Yes he’s brought order to the White House but he is basically a Democrat.<<

President Trump should fire Kelly, Sessions, and Rosensh*t in one tweet.

“FIRE SESSIONS, NOT PRUITT”

I guess you must be fed up with that do-nothing Trump. It’s been a year and he refuses to fire Jeff Sessions. How long are you going to defend Trump’s failure and ineptitude?

Come out and admit you have no respect for the POTUS.

Fuck Kelly. Keep Pruitt. He seems to be the only Trump appointee (besides Carson and DeVoss) who want to drain the swamp.

It is time to stand with your appointees, Mr. President, not 20 steps behind them.
