Rep. Eric Swalwell poked fun at Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt with a GIF on Twitter over a report that said he asked to use emergency sirens to avoid traffic.
“Live shot of #Pruitt out buying milk,” the California Democrat tweeted Thursday, along with a GIF of what appears to be a police escort.

CBS first reported on Thursday that the lead agent in charge of Pruitt’s security detail who advised him that they couldn’t use emergency sirens to evade traffic was removed and reassigned to a new job in the EPA after the incident.
Pruitt has recently come under fire for reports detailing lavish use of taxpayer dollars, added security, and shake-ups among agency officials who questioned his actions.
