You are letting the American people down. Your actions are distracting the EPA from its core mission & have created a toxic work environment that has demoralized your staff.

As just one example of your poor judgment, your use of $43,000 to construct a phone booth in your office was not just unethical and wasteful, but actually illegal. #PollutingPruitt

Beyond your many ethical lapses, I am also concerned about your regulatory rollbacks. Thankfully, because of your substandard work, many of these have already been struck down in court.

.@EPAScottPruitt: Let me remind you the law requires that the delay of a regulation or issuance of a new rule be based on solid science. You cannot just ignore the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act or other bedrock environmental laws.

Your denial of climate science is also profoundly disturbing. Withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement & watering down fuel efficiency standards harms the health of our children & grandchildren.

Rolling back regulations that limit emissions will mean more cases of asthma in children. Keeping harmful pesticides on the market will damage children’s brain development.

.@EPAScottPruitt: Your approach is bad for the environment, bad for public health & bad for business. You are failing all Americans with your disregard for the EPA’s job to protect human health and the environment.

No matter what @EPAScottPruitt does to prioritize the profits of big fossil fuel & chemical corporations, Congress must ensure that the air we breathe & water we drink is safe for the American people. I am committed to working across the aisle to do just that.
