Well, I guess we never have to worry about Scott Pruitt becoming US Attorney General.
Earlier today, news broke that Scott Pruitt had some not-so-flattering things to say about Donald Trump in a 2016 interview with an obscure local Tulsa radio show.
Here are the details via Documented Investigations:
In a stinging 2016 radio interview, Scott Pruitt lambasted then candidate Donald Trump, warning of the danger to the constitution should he become president.
“If Donald Trump is the nominee and eventually the president, he would take I think, unapologetic steps to use executive power to confront Congress in a way that is truly unconstitutional”, said Pruitt.
The interview was recorded on February 4, 2016 in Tulsa, Oklahoma for the Pat Campbell radio show, and uncovered by Documented.
“I believe that Donald Trump in the White House will be more abusive to the constitution than Barack Obama and that’s saying a lot,” said Pruitt.
Let's give Scott Pruitt some credit. He totally called it! Trump is taking unapologetic steps to use executive power to confront Congress in a way that is truly unconstitutional, and now Pruitt gets to help him do it! That was some savvy planning.
