Anyone else sick of buying Scott Pruitt lunch?

Hey lookit! A teacher from D.C. just confronted Scott Pruitt, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, about how terrible he is at his job and how he is basically ruining the planet for her child and would he please resign?

"Resign? Um, let me think about it....uh...welllll...no."

-The climate change denier the 

President picked to run the EPA-huh? 

Why? I don't know, as a prank maybe?

N-n-n-no, don't even, you are on tape
 bragging about assaulting women.

The encounter comes as the question of whether or not it's ok to confront public officials on how much we loath them and everything they stand for, is very much on our minds. Recent examples of this trend include Sarah Sanders Huckabee getting booted from a restaurant for being a shitheel and the Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen getting balled out at a Mexican restaurant. Oh, and there's also the fact that no one wants to date White House staffers because they work for a sexual assault enthusiast.

I mean sure, the teacher, Kristen Mink, did interrupt Scott Pruitt's lunch, but in her defense the man is human garbage.

Sorry Trash Heap from Fraggle Rock...that was uncalled for.

"Emails huh? Better call
the FBI in on this one."

-That woman we voted for

Yeah, I know, that was harsh. Let me walk that back a bit: he's acting like human garbage. Currently under investigation for spending tax payer money on personal things like travel to his home state, and a phone booth for some insane reason, and for hanging out with the lobbyists, getting put up in a condo by a lobbyist, using secret email addresses so as to avoid there being a public record of all the terrible things he's totally not doing you guys. Anyway, the list goes on. He's currently the subject of like thirteen investigations.

Oh, and all this is in addition to doing the exact opposite of what the 'P' in EPA stands for. He is, in short, the worst EPA administrator since Walter Peck.

You remember, the asshole who shut down the containment grid in Ghostbusters?

"Apps? Sure we can get apps!
This one's on Uncle Sam."

-Scott Pruitt, earlier today

Anyway, like I said when we talked about the Red Hen thing with Sarah Sanders, I don't know how I feel about this. Mink posted video of her encounter on Facebook today and no one can fault her for being rude. Apart from the fact that she's accosting Pruitt during a meal-which, now that I think about it, we probably paid for-she's polite, articulate and not wrong about anything she's saying. So while I don't know how I feel about this, I do know that this is really the only recourse we have left.

Hey, it's nothing personal, Wyoming.
Oh, and hey, love the hat.

Pruitt, like Sanders and Nielsen work for Trump and I know I keep coming back to this, but most of us voted for Hillary Clinton. Over the last year and a half we've had to sit back and watch Pruitt dismantle the EPA, Sarah Sanders be a dick to the press, and now we get to watch Donald Trump choose another Supreme Court Justice. Sure, interrupting someone's lunch might seem uncivil, but I'm not sure I give a shit when my vote counts a third as much as someones from Wyoming and that's why everything sucks right now.

Weirdly, one of the things he's under investigation for is his twenty-agent, 24-hour security detail. The largest in EPA history. According to the Inspector General's office, during Pruitt's first year in office, he spent $3.5 million paying these agents. Three and a half million dollars. Of money. Our money to be precise. So like, I have a question, how useless are they when a concerned citizen with a child in tow can just confront Pruitt over an arugula and goat cheese salad?

Not included in the video is the part where Kristin Mink, with a toddler on her hip,
 overpowers a twenty-strong security team to confront noted asshole, Scott Pruitt.
