Former EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy suggested Friday evening her successor at the agency, former Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, has no idea what he is doing.
During an appearance on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” McCarthy was asked “how bad is it” under Pruitt. “It couldn’t be worse, right?” asked host Maher.
“It’s true,” she replied. “The only thing that could be worse is if he actually knew what he was doing.”
She went on to say Pruitt, who has worked to dismantle the Obama-era regulatory legacy, has waged an “all-out on the agency.”
“He’s making some policy decisions. But in the end he’s trying to get rid of a lot of rules that were put in place that were done well and every time there have been challenges in court, he’s going down,” she added.
