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 EPAs 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 presidents 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.

The 20 man detail is warranted.
No controversy here.
He has other issues, but this ain’t one of them.
Bump!
It would not surprise me if this is a case perceived ‘ownership’ of the EPA by the LEFT and their environment allies. Predecessors in this office were almost all either fellow travelers or environmentalist-leaning RINOs who let the apparatchiks in the EPA bureaucracy grow their power through regulatory expansion and ‘losing’ court fights with the Sierra Club and the like.
An on-going and perpetual problem with the logical brief that underpins the EPA, is that the only way to really protect the environment is to EXCLUDE HUMAN BEINGS to the maximum extant possible. The people attracted to working for this agency are, IMHO, likely to be inclined to the zealous side of this argument and there is little to restrict their actions from within their operations.
Thus to the like-minded, both with-in and with-out the EPA, Administrator Scott Pruitt is an existential danger of opening files and showing odorous schemes and motivations. Thus, like Bill, he must be killed!
The gal who shot up youtube was nice looking. When given the choice of making a lotta men happy or shooting up people she had to be really whaky.
Agreed and well said.
The EPA is inundated with embedded enviro-extremists, it will take years to thin them out, if ever.
Doesn't take much to put lipstick on a weirdo.....
Why I am shocked....SHOCKED to hear the Gaia Worshiping envirosocialists have been losing their minds since Pruitt has rolled back Hussein’s “save da erf” job killing regulations.

Great!! Means that hes doing a super, outstanding job. Keep undoing the rediculous Obullsh*t oppressive senseless rules.

You must need eye bleach badly. Perhaps you could only ‘see’ her by touching the screen, having already gone blind. She’s a female David Hogg pointy face chin and all and just as nasty.
The rationales of the mentally ill don't alter reality or the law though.
Why?
I want Scott Pruitt to last enough at the EPA to get rid of the stupid corn gas mandate!!!
I want the old gas cans back too. The kind that would empty 5 gals of gas 10 sec or less.
I want to buy power equipment that doesn’t a freaking thing about being legal in CA! I couldn’t care less about CA and their stupid rules. If those dumb ****S want corn gas they can grow their own.
“The rationales of the mentally ill don’t alter reality or the law though. “
While that’s true, it will be slim consolation for the dead or injured conservative whose micro aggression of wearing a MAGA hat did him in.
Hear hear! Those stupid enviro-cans spill more gas than the old ones did. MUCH more!!
I intend to be the one giving consolation not receiving it.
.
Radical environmentalists burned entire city blocks in San Jose, and twice burned a new building down in Emeryville.
.
The new gas cans won’t even work on a farm tractor, there is nothing for the spout to press on.
You can now buy 5 gal gas cans that work at TSC stores, but you have to buy $10 spout and drill a hole for a vent. They work damn good only cost about $30 with the new spout included.
TSC = tractor supply Co.
“I intend to be the one giving consolation not receiving it.”
I understand, appreciate, and agree with your view. However, most conservatives, knowing that they mean no harm, are unprepared and unwarned that they are about to be attacked. The biggest and most awesome fighter in the world can be taken out if he is unprepared for an attack. The woman I was thinking of who assaulted a boy for wearing a MAGA hat got caught and punished. But that is very much the exception.
I was knocked unconscious twice in actual high school riots even though I was on alert. (Today it is called The Knockout Game. Then, it was just a hit and run assault.) It’s the rare event where you see the assault coming and can defend yourself.
Agree!
She's a radical animal rights terrorist too.
.
I wonder if the AP can figure out why? Maybe they should start an independent investigation.....idiots.
