GOP Sen. Kennedy: Scott Pruitt Is ‘Acting Like A Moron Moran’

I see where you are coming from but that is more fitting for DeVos, who is truly an idiot and thus is basically incapable of doing serious damage to the DoEd.

Pruitt had been suing the EPA for years and knows exactly what rules/processes to gut…

I wouldn’t trust DeVos with a burnt out match where Pruitt knows how to use a blow torch…

“He’s acting like a moron and he needs to stop it,” he continued. “It’s not personal, but he needs to stop misbehaving in this way.”

It’s not an act. He would stop if he could, but he can’t, so he won’t.

Unfortunately, I don’t think he is. He is an intelligent, crafty evil-doer.

It’s almost like Scott Pruitt acts that way to please Donald Trump.
Gee, Mr. Kennedy. Who else do we know who acts like that in the United States Senate?

Any morality in the Republican Party went on life support after the election of FDR in 1932.

It never stops. Yesterday there was a story on Politico about him being persona non grata at the White House mess:

When the book about the Trump cabinet is written, the title will be Team of Grifters.

Priutt doesn’t need to stop. He needs to resign, or be fired.

Any Government employees under him who tried to pull half that shit would have been shown the door as these are clear mis-use of Government time/funds.

And yet your president hasn’t fired him. Go figure!

He won’t fire him because that would be GIVING IN to the liberals. With all this batshit stuff, it does seem that they’re worried about their base.

The definition of a moron is a stupid person. Now, in the big picture, sure, Pruitt is a moron but that doesn’t really describe him properly. He’s much more evil than stupid, and corrupt, thieving, cruel, just plain mean and self serving. And it all comes from his religious upbringing, education and zealousness. He is, evil incarnate.

I hope we are able to see him suffer greatly for his very existence one day.

It is with dismay you can’t even imagine to know that he is a product of Kentucky. Where he grew up, where he went to college and the Baptist seminary post college. Just vomit inducing sorrow and anger that he is from here and destroying the EPA which I hold dear. I cannot even begin to describe the disdain I hold for this man.

Ha…as a guy who loves a good turn of phrase, I gotta say that’s one right there.

Should’ve had Kennedy play a game of complete the sentence.

“Pruitt is acting like a moron because ___________.”

That’s 3rd grade level shit right there. I’m pretty sure he could’ve figured it out.

“He’s acting like a moron and he needs to stop it,” he continued. “It’s not personal, but he needs to stop misbehaving in this way.”

And scene…oversight duties completed…

36

At this point the question isn’t whether or not Scott Pruitt is a corrupt official engaged in criminal activity, but rather why is he allowed to remain in his current post?

Occam’s Razor suggests that he continues to serve the needs of the Trump Administration as a distraction from their own governmental malfeasance.

Kennedy is one of the best of the worst.

But he still stinks.
