Pruitt staffers were driven by desire to "help him appear competent"
MAGA, the greatest Idiocracy in the world:
The descriptions provided by former staffers paint a picture of an agency where political staffers were driven foremost by their desire to please Pruitt and help him appear competent - a task made increasingly difficult as a towering number of controversies surrounding him.
Younger employees found it hard to turn down Pruitt's requests, staffers told The Hill. Some also didn't have the experience to know that what they were being asked of was ethically questionable.
"You notice that the vast number of people working for him are under 32," said the aide, who asked to speak on background in order to speak candidly about the EPA. "He doesn't want anyone who he feels sufficiently competitive or competent who would contradict him or threaten him."
