Nearly four years after he resigned from the Trump administration amid a cloud of scandal and profligate spending of taxpayer dollars, Scott Pruitt — yes that Scott Pruitt — is running for Senate.
Still, with the Looney Tunes-sized raincloud of scandal having already soaked him once, and with Inhofe’s circle coalescing around the senator’s former chief of staff, Pruitt faces an uphill climb.
Or as one former EPA official under Pruitt put it to E&E News last month, “Does he really have that little self-awareness?”
Pruitt will be the next senator from Oklahoma. He’s thoroughly corrupt, incompetent, mean spirited, and nasty. He’s just the kind of Trump lover that’ll win the state primary and, given how insane Oklahoma is, win the November election by over 10 points.
“It’s not like ‘Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,’ necessarily,” former Tulsa Mayor Dewey F. Bartlett Jr. told The New York Times after Pruitt’s resignation.
“…Really, it was more Boss Hogg goes to Washington.”
One question: Why has Scotty never been indicted for his malfeasance while at the EPA, including misappropriation of government funds, conflicts of interest by accepting deeply discount rent from lobbyists who had considerable business with the EPA, etc, etc, etc?

Had he understood the outstretch of the Trump administration corruption he would have stayed put. What’s a few hundred thousand dollars of waste compared with Jared’s billion dollar bribes and Trump’s coup attempt?
Oklahoma is getting impaled on the tip of the crazy QAnon/GOP spear. In five years, they won’t have birth control, public schools, or access to minimal health care.
For the same reason that Hershel Walker, who has not lived in GA since 1982 is running for Senate there. Now, lets not get too worked up about carpetbaggers, there was a certain Hillary from Chicago, that made a career in Arkansas, that somehow got elected as Senator from NY.
