If you wanted to know the most perfectly Orwellian incarnation of the Trump administration’s attack on truth, logic, and reality, its white-is-black inversions, try Scott Pruitt’s redefinition of environmentalism as the determination to plunder America’s natural resources.
Interviewed by James Hohhman of the Washington Post, the monstrously derelict Pruitt gives the game away with his framed office portrait of Anne Gorsuch, the most parodistic EPA head prior to Pruitt.
After that small masterpiece of perversely distorted rhetoric, he ups the ante by lying that he’s incinerating our natural resources to feed the world’s poor! Not to make Exxon’s profit ledgers greater than ever.
Read Julia Conley’s report at Common Dreams. Study the way that hand-picked-by-the-Koch Brothers EPA head Pruitt and Sen. Inhofe, Another Old Rich White GOP Senate member, are completely ignorant about, or simply intent on suppressing the economic reality of how job-producing is renewable energy.
Why have the Dems not gone after Pruitt more aggressively? Why aren’t they mounting visual-aid presentations on the way the planet is melting and burning, and excoriated Pruitt’s advocacy of planetary crash-and-burn?
