obama administration. and the democrats and the environmental pressure groups can t defeat him on the policy because in fact they re very popular. they want to get rid of scott pruitt because that will make it much harder for the president to implement his very ambitious agenda. van, before you respond, let s just take a look a little bit about what mr. pruitt has done in his brief tenure on the policy side. his epa has already repealed the clean power plan, centralized control of the clean water act decisions. eased clean air act regulations. do democrats want him fired because he has been effective? listen, he is a pro-pollution administrator. you have this is a guy who is in the name of trying to go after job killing regulation, is ramming through child killing deregulation. increasing the amount of pollution, the amount of poison in american air and water, which means more asthma attacks for kids, more cancer for kids. that s his agenda.
of expertise. what is the real crux of the case against him as epa administrator in terms of his environmental impact? we talked a lot about the fact that he s corrupt, he spent millions flying around going to disney land. all that is terrible and it s a teeny weenie little crumb of the crime committed against this country. i ve never seen somebody more progressive about putting more pollution in the country, more poison into the bodies of young people. he s the most reckless deregulator i ve ever seen. he seems to be passionate to make sure america is dirtier and less safe for our children. this makes me very angry. they always talk about job killing regulations. hold on a second. you re talking about child killing deregulation. that s what you re talking about. when you start talking about pulling back on clean water, on clean air, that means kids going to the hospital with asthma attacks, kids dying of cancer. that means hurting america.
