American Bridge President Jessica Mackler released the following statement on the confirmation of Scott Pruitt for EPA director:
“Scott Pruitt is bought and paid for by the fossil fuel industry. He took their money, then repeatedly backed polluters in lawsuits against the very agency he will now lead. Republicans may have been able to force Pruitt’s confirmation today, but in the coming weeks they won’t be able to stop the American people from seeing exactly how Pruitt colluded and schemed with big oil special interests when he thought no one was looking.”
