We have a responsibility to harvest the resources God blessed us with. He gave us the oil for a reason and it shouldn’t be government’s role to make us stop using it. People said they heard on Christian Broadcast Network that I said that God wants us to use oil. Not for nothing did I sue EPA 13 times when I was attorney general of Oklahoma, which is a very nice state. But I want to make clear he did not actually go to my meetings on, well, my meetings.Īnd Smotkin cares as much as I do about “protecting human health and the environment,” even though I don’t think EPA should be so aggressive about it. And how was I to know the next month he’d start getting $40,000 a month to lobby for Morocco? I think he will do a very good job for Morocco. Yes, it turns out my good friend, Richard Smotkin, arranged it all. They serve champagne and strawberries all the time! I had never been to Morocco, and I love staying in Sofitel Hotels. I admit I told Congress it was to iron out some environmental issues on a trade deal with Morocco, although usually I have people who have people to do that. Now, I am telling you I went to Morocco for four days last December to talk about sending U.S. Trump even explained that $50 a night is the going rate in Washington for a room (although not at Trump International Hotel, which costs about $1,000 a night). Just a few days ago the president tweeted that I am doing a “great job” (at the Environmental Protection Agency). It really doesn’t matter because I actually have to please just one guy, Donald Trump of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. (They should mind their own business.) But because I aspire to higher office, I will reluctantly give you my reasoning. I explained all this to Congress, in no uncertain terms. Or flew on a private jet and in first class because those people in coach bothered me. Or paid an energy lobbyist’s wife $50 a night for a lease on her condo when I slept there. Or have a plan to get rid of clean-car standards. Or gave two talented young women on my staff $57,000 and $28,000 raises.
WASHINGTON - My fellow Americans, I understand that some of you are questioning why I, Scott Pruitt, head of what’s-its-name, that environmental office that I sued 13 times, spent $100,000 to go to Morocco. Tired of ads? Subscribers enjoy a distraction-free reading experience.
