Scott Pruitts Political Patron Now Questions the E.P.A. Chiefs Ethics

WASHINGTON — Scott Pruitt, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, may be losing support even from his staunchest allies. His longtime political patron, Senator James Inhofe, said Tuesday that he would like to see an investigation into the ethical allegations against his protégé. If any prove true, he said, they could “have an effect” on Mr. Pruitt’s job.

Mr. Inhofe said he was troubled by a recent New York Times story that detailed allegations of unchecked spending and ethics questions during Mr. Pruitt’s career as attorney general and state senator in Oklahoma.

“I’ve known him since he was in the state legislature and supported him” Mr. Inhofe said Tuesday. “These are accusations I did not know anything about.”

Probably because you're the most stupid member of the U.S. Senate.
