hazard who’sback ! ! ! !
Disgraced former EPA Chief Scott Pruitt free an official movement advertizing for his bidding for U.S. Senate on Thursday , his first functionary foray into a crowded backwash to replaceclimate - denier extraordinaireJames Inhofe in their abode land of Oklahoma . Titled , quite literally , “ I ’m Back , ” the video is a doozy .
In the ad , Pruitt set out by quoting Winston Churchill , as every right - annex college debate goober is teach to do . “ ‘ You ’ve got enemies ? Good ! It means that you place upright up for something , ’ ” Scott articulate , bear a newspaper . “ As a penis of President Trump ’s storage locker , I had foe . ”

Unfortunately for Scott , Winston Churchillnever actually say that ; the erroneously attributed quote seems to have made therounds on Facebookin late old age . Not extremely surprising , for a cat who seems to have get all his clime knowledge from a unsound Facebook station , to make that mistake . But we get the message : He has enemies .
Given how oodles of Republican operatives and functionary have come out of the woodworking in late months to talk abouthow much they consider Scott Pruitt absolutely sucks , one could be forgiven for thinking that the GOP at declamatory is who he ’s talking about here . ( Among Pruitt ’s haters is , lamentably for Scott , Inhofe himself , who told reporters in March he was “ not his biggest fan . ” )
But no ! Scott is aiming to show you in this ad that it ’s the liberal media who are against him . “ The New York Times . The Washington Post — they tried to cancel me . But guess what ? I ’m back , ” he declares , as he dramatically convulse the newspaper he ’s arrest into the trash can . ( He credibly should have recycled that newspaper , but given his track criminal record of almost single - handedly obliterating the environment during his short incumbency at EPA , is it a surprise that he did n’t ? )
The video drop dead on to explain how Biden is “ undoing the progress we made during the Trump disposal , ” as Scott pitches himself for Senate on what seems like a somewhat rote right - wing political program , include promises to “ protect the unborn , ” “ restore energy independence , ” and “ protect spare speech . ”
All in all , it ’s pretty bland as far as movement ads go . ( Pro tip : If you ’re run as a Republican , you need to shoot something and make vague death threat . ) With Pruitt ’s scandal - ridden account and ostensibly abysmal support from his own party in a crowded backwash , it ’s perhaps not surprising that he kind of … glosses over what actually befall during the class and alter he was in Washington . Anyone create an approach ad against him , on the other hand , willhave a destiny of cloth to work with , like his weird fixation with get a used mattress from Trump ’s hotel , or his spending hundreds of thousands of one dollar bill on rotund - the - clock security item , or his decision to establish asoundproof roomin an office that already had one , or maybe even that clip he usedgovernment resourcesto get his wife a Chick - fil - A franchise . Pruitt maybe should have clear up that when he says the Times and Post “ canceled ” him , he intend they publishedexposesabout how he made his security point force back around looking for a special lotion for him from the Ritz - Carlton — all on taxpayer one dollar bill , of course .
The advertizement is interlard with onetime footage of Pruitt with Trump , so it ’s clear that his campaign will be tilt hard on that association . Unfortunately for him , an genuine imprimatur from the Big Wet Former President does n’t seem warrant . E&E Newsreported last monththat Pruitt , hungry for that angelic , sweetened Trump approval , put in a call to him in March as he explored the possibleness of running for Senate . Trump ’s response apparently left something to be desired : a former administration functionary said the President gave Pruitt a “ brushoff . ”
Ouch ! Well , in force luck with that endorsement , Scott old buddy . In the interim , likeBig GasandBig Dairy , you’re able to always just cry about the liberal leave behind canceling you rather .
Update 5/13/22 9:43 A.M. EST : This post has been update to clear up that the quote Pruitt uses in the ad is misattributed to Winston Churchill .
