Woman confronts Pruitt at restaurant, tells him to resign
The Hill ^ | 07/02/18 | Justin Wise

A woman publicly confronted Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt while he was eating lunch on Monday and urged him to resign, according to video posted on Facebook.

"EPA head Scott Pruitt was 3 tables away as I ate lunch with my child. I had to say something," Kristin Mink posted on Facebook with an accompanying video of her encounter with Pruitt.

Minka, who is a schoolteacher according to her Facebook profile, lists off multiple scandals Pruitt has been ensnared in since becoming EPA chief, including the rental of a Capitol Hill condo owned by the wife of an influential lobbyist.

"We deserve to have somebody at the EPA who actually does protect our environment, someone who believes in climate change and takes it seriously for the benefit of all us, including our children," Minka said.

"I would urge you to resign before your scandals push you out."

Minka's encounter with Pruitt, which had about 2,500 views just more than hour after being posted, is the latest public confrontation a Trump Cabinet official has faced in recent weeks.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked to leave a restaurant in Virginia last month because of her role in the Trump administration. Days earlier, protestors separately confronted senior adviser Stephen Miller and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen as they dined at Mexican restaurants in Washington, D.C.

The public confrontations ignited debates surrounding civility in politics and the correct way to protest policies and figures with which one doesn't agree.

Should we boycott all resturants? They’d notice it except Chick-Fil-a. Accuse them of being bad tippers.

The left has breached good manners. Normally, civilized people act a certain way in public. Obviously the left no longer believes they should act civilized.

They feel it’s OK to harass people for their stand on things.

The left should be ashamed of itself, but they don’t know the meaning of shame.

I often think about the Ronald Reagan story. A democrat came into the office and ranted and raved for half an hour.

After he left, Reagan looked up and said, “I wonder what was bothering him?”

That should be our practiced response for every one of these encounters.

I just sent her a private message on Facebook calling her a “F*ckin asshole”. Shouldn’t go down to their level but this crap is REALLY ticking me off.

Well, turnabout is only fair play. After all, remember the plethora of instances from 2009 to 2016 that members of the Obama administration were accosted in public and when dining by Tea Party members and rank-and-file Republicans?

Oh, wait....

Unsurprisingly.

These type are frequently wrong but never in doubt.

The self appointed keepers of the "truth". They have access to your kids more than you do (if you're working that is).

Fakebook made everyone think they are a celebrity and gave “friends” to socially inept people.
