Scott Pruitt Says Those Who Want To Kill EPA Are 'Justified'

"OXON HILL, Md. -- Those who want the Environmental Protection Agency to eliminate the department are 'justified' in their beliefs, the EPA head under President Donald Trump told a gathering of conservatives on Saturday.

'I think people across this county look at the EPA much as they look at the IRS,' said EPA chief Scott Pruitt during an appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in a suburb of D.C.

He said that those who believed the EPA should be eliminated were 'justified' because of the agency’s actions during the Obama administration."
