Scott The "Possum" Pruitt is a very religious man. In fact, he is so religious that religion informs his politics: "A Christian world view means that God has answers to our problems. And part of our responsibility is to convey to those in society that the answers that he has, as represented in Scripture, are important and should be followed, because they lead to freedom and liberty."
What does Pruitt mean by "freedom and liberty?" Does he mean "freedom" from congressional oversight into his ethics violations and corruption? Does he mean "liberty" to spent taxpayers' money on his travel, pens, phone-booth? It seems that this "freedom" may be slipping away. According to The New York Times, Pruitt instructed an aid to inquire about acquiring his wife a Chic-A-Fil franchise. Pruitt's behavior violates the ethics rule against having subordinates perform personal duties and might constitute the crime of using one's office to leverage a personal benefit. Congress is already conducting 12 investigations into Pruitt. We must hope the latest revelation finally sends this miscreant back to Oklahoma; sympathies to those in the Sooner state.
