The staggering number of EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt’s ethics scandals has even the Trump administration’s staunchest supporters showing him the door, as Fox News host Laura Ingraham tweeted that he’s “GOTTA GO” Wednesday afternoon.
PRUITT BAD JUDGMENT HURTING @POTUS, GOTTA GO: Pruitt had aide, GOP donors help wife find job: report https://t.co/p7dhOK58Sh

The straw that broke the camel’s back for Ingraham seems to be a Wednesday Washington Post report charting the many times Pruitt used his position to try to secure his wife a job.
Despite the dozen federal ethics investigations and widespread criticism Pruitt’s actions have provoked, he still maintains the support of the President. Last week, Trump fielded a reporter’s question about his confidence in Pruitt before leaving for the G-7 summit in Canada.
“Scott Pruitt is doing a great job within the walls of the EPA,” Trump said. “I mean, we’re setting records. Outside, he’s being attacked very viciously by the press. I’m not saying that he’s blameless, but we’ll see what happens.”
OK. He’s almost gone. When Hannity or Doocey weigh in likewise, then, he’s as good as gone. Unfortunately, that may mean he’ll be a replacement for the nation’s favorite house elf.
I’m starting to wonder if Trump even cares what his cabinet members are doing anymore. He probably just ignores them unless he needs them for a photo op, and then he only cares about whether it looks good or not. Apart from that, they could all be exposed as serial killers and he probably wouldn’t go after any of them.
Nope, it’s not the crimes, it’s not the lies, it’s not the corruption, it’s not even the “bad judgement”.
It’s that he’s embarrassing Trump.
And that, of course, is the one unforgivable sin within The Cult Family.
Is his wife just plain un-hireable or has tRump driven the job numbers so high that no suitable positions are available for her?
Why not let her manage that Chick-Fil-A franchise back in Tulsa town Scott? You could fly First Class to see her each weekend and rack up bigly air mileage on the public’s dime!
How could he be confirmed?!!!
