Pelosi calls on Pruitt to resign

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called on Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt to resign on Friday after a series of damaging reports were published about the EPA chief.

In a statement on her website, Pelosi called on Republicans in Congress to hold Pruitt and other Cabinet members accountable for perceived ethical violations in their respective agencies.

“EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt’s tenure has been a part of the Trump Administration’s culture of corruption, cronyism and incompetence. Pruitt must resign," Pelosi said in the statement.

“Multiple members of Trump’s Cabinet are under federal investigation for graft, corruption and sticking taxpayers with the multi-million dollar bill for their extravagance and lavish lifestyles," she added.

Pelosi's statement comes after reports of Pruitt’s condo-rental agreement with the wife of an energy lobbyist and his spending on foreign travel.

1. She will be ignored of course but as she is very powerful and respected, her comments matter

2. He's corrupt and should go!

But then again that's who trump likes the most. This whole administration is corrupt. The ones who trump can't corrupt, he fires them for someone else who is.

5. The entire corrupt regime should resign in truth...but this is all normal, say the corporate media,

so calls for resignation over a little corruption is too much. OK a lot of corruption, so a ton of corruption...but are you not entertained??

Also, what if we are called fake news....we are scared?!

3. Just what she should do

Call it out, keep calling it out, and don't back off. Say it over and over again. Then say it some more. This corruption shouldn't be allowed to slide by, just because the president isn't going to do squat-ah about it.
