EPA says 'unprecedented' number of death threats against Pruitt
Fox News ^ | April 7, 2018 | Joseph Weber

EPA administrator Scott Pruitt has faced an "unprecedented" number of death threats, according to an agency spokesman.

His statement follows reports Pruitt has spent millions on security despite no proof his life was in danger.

“According to EPA’s Assistant Inspector General, Scott Pruitt has faced an unprecedented amount of death threats against him and his family,” agency spokesman Jahan Wilcox said late Friday. “Americans should all agree that members of the president’s Cabinet should be kept safe from these violent threats.”

The statement was obtained Saturday by Fox News and included a list of several published reports about such incidents.

A nationwide search of state and federal court records by the Associated Press found no case in which anyone was arrested or charged with threatening Pruitt, the wire service said Friday.

The agency has spent millions of dollars for a 20-member, full-time detail for Pruitt, which is roughly three times the size of his predecessor's part-time security contingent.

No doubt that Gina McCarthy didn't need the security that EPA administrator Scott Pruitt needs, every enviro-nutjob and leftist were in love with her and 0bama while Pruitt is undoing the damage they did.

What?
Does someone have to take a shot at him before he gets a protection detail?

The reason the Left feels justified in physically attacking anyone they disagree with is, they define anything that individual does that they don’t like as “violence.” Therefore, they are defending themselves, not attacking somebody.

The left has gone from personal attacks to defamation, to financial ruin ( in the case of Gen Flynn, Laura Ingraham’s program, etc. )to WEEKLY threats on our President’s life and now to death threats on his staff. Is it any wonder President Trump as difficulty finding loyal and trustworthy people to appoint to important positions? WHERE THE HELL ARE THE ARRESTS??????? I’m sure we are only hearing about a fraction of what is going on.

The radical environmentalist’s are no joke. If I’m not mistaken some of the groups are watched by the FBI. These aren’t kids and old folks protesting about a park.

If the threats are real, he should make a few public. It would put all this BS to bed, real quick.

Now THAT is one story the AP and Establishment Media would love to cover. In addition to a pre-written obituary, they likely have a draft of the assassination coverage pre-written with a sub-story about the good intentions and fundamental decency of the assassin(s).

The Left claims ownership of the EPA regardless of who is in the White House. It is their domain. It belongs to them. Scott Pruitt has upset the natural order of things.

I agree with Senator Rand Paul,

Rand Paul: ‘Scott Pruitt is Likely the Bravest and Most Conservative Member of Trump’s Cabinet’

Let President Trump know that Scott Pruitt MUST be defended at all costs!
