"Scott Pruitt drew fire Wednesday from conservative pundit Laura Ingraham, who urged President Donald Trump to dump the scandal-scarred EPA administrator — the latest sign that his support among Republicans is crumbling.

Ingraham, the popular radio and Fox News host, is the highest-profile conservative so far to call for Trump to fire Pruitt, who is widely disliked inside the White House after a string of ethical and spending controversies.

“PRUITT BAD JUDGMENT HURTING @POTUS, GOTTA GO,” Ingraham tweeted, while linking to a Washington Post report that Pruitt had pressed his staff to ask GOP donors to help find a job for his wife, Marlyn, who later secured a job at a conservative legal group.

The conservative National Review piled on later Wednesday, calling for Pruitt to be replaced."
