Interim EPA chief called Trump a 'bully' during campaign
Source: The Hill
The incoming interim head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) during the presidential campaign called President Trump a bully who really hasnt been that successful in business.
Andrew Wheeler, who has been the EPAs deputy administrator since April and will soon be acting administrator thanks to Scott Pruitt's resignation, wrote the comments in a February 2016 Facebook post.
In the post, Wheeler, a former energy lobbyist, wrote a six-part condemnation of Trump. It included that no one really knows what his political beliefs are, he doesnt really understand how government works, he has more baggage then all other Republican candidates combined and he is a bully.
At the time, Wheeler supported Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for president. But he told The Washington Post, which first uncovered the blog post last year, that he came to support Trump later in 2016, after Rubio exited the race, when Trump spoke at an event hosted by coal mining company Murray Energy Corp., one of his lobbying clients.

Although there are plenty more of his ilk out there, wouldn't now be a good time to get a scientist/public administration type in there?
