Woman who told Pruitt to resign at restaurant: Hey Trump, ‘where are you going to lunch tomorrow?’

A woman, whose Facebook post went viral earlier this week after publicly telling Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt to resign, targeted President Trump after the EPA head’s sudden resignation on Thursday.

In a posting on Facebook of her encounter with Pruitt, Kristin Mink listed off multiple scandals Pruitt has been involved in since becoming EPA chief.

{mosads}”We deserve to have somebody at the EPA who actually does protect our environment, someone who believes in climate change and takes it seriously for the benefit of all us, including our children,” Mink said to Pruitt. “I would urge you to resign before your scandals push you out.” 

And just days after Mink’s encounter with Pruitt, Trump confirmed Pruitt’s departure following months of high-profile controversies regarding his spending and ethics at the agency. 

“I have accepted the resignation of Scott Pruitt as the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. Within the Agency Scott has done an outstanding job, and I will always be thankful to him for this,” Trump said a tweet announcing the resignation.
