Pissed Off Mom Confronts Scott Pruitt at Washington Restaurant About His Many Misdeeds

Kristin Mink was having lunch with her toddler in Washington, D.C., when she noticed who was sitting three tables over: EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt.

In a video posted to her Facebook account, Mink walks up to Pruitt and an unidentified companion and confronts him over his record of environmental deregulation and open corruption. According to Mink’s video, the confrontation occurred at Teaism in downtown Washington on Monday.

“Hi, I just wanted to urge you to resign because of what you’re doing to the environment and our country,” Mink says. “This is my son. He loves animals. He loves clean air. He loves clean water. Meanwhile, you’re slashing strong fuel standards for cars and trucks, for the benefit of big corporations.”

Pruitt’s smile turns to a frown as Mink speaks, and he glances nervously to the man sitting across from him.

4. Looks like an overfed, entitled Republican to me.

Maybe Pruitt trying to get another job for his wife?

5. No idea but that's a big-ass piece of meat to be weighing himself down with at lunch.

12. I remembered him from the pay raise scandal.

You're welcome.

10. I wonder if that allows him to bill the EPA the meal.

If he has a lunch with someone and claims it's a work/business lunch, can he make the EPA pay and if so how often does he do this?

11. Most likely and probably all the time.

Pruitt is all about getting welfare for himself.
