"EPA's Pruitt Takes Heat In Restaurant Over Environment Policies"

"WASHINGTON - A woman carrying her young son confronted Scott Pruitt, the scandal-plagued chief of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, at a Washington eatery and politely asked him to resign to make way for somebody who will protect the environment.

Pruitt looked on in silence on Monday as the woman, Kristin Mink, criticized the EPA for relaxing fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks and Pruitt for paying “$50 bucks a night to stay in a D.C. condo that’s connected to an energy lobbying firm,” according to a video posted on her Facebook page.

“This is my son. He loves animals, he loves clean air, he loves clean water,” said Mink, toddler on her hip, scribbled notes in her hand and a stuffed animal sticking out of a back pocket."
