Still bitter about the outcome of 2016, the left claims much of their outrage toward the president is driven by his unpredictable personality, but ideological opposition to his administration\u2019s reform-minded agenda is the real root of their anger.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Nowhere is this more evident than the furor surrounding Scott Pruitt, the administrator of the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"United States Environmental Protection Agency\" href=\"http:\/\/www.epa.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"homepage noopener\">Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)<\/a>. \u00a0Trump\u2019s opponents have seized on a number of recent unflattering news stories involving Pruitt and his agency. While admittedly not the best public relations for Pruitt, his \u201creal sin is that he is one of Mr. Trump\u2019s most aggressive reformers,\u201d as the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"The Wall Street Journal\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Wall_Street_Journal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener wikipedia\">Wall Street Journal<\/a><i> <\/i>editorialized last week. President Trump expressed a similar sentiment over the weekend when he tweeted praise for his EPA chief\u2019s \u201cbold actions\u201d and \u201crecord clean Air &amp; Water while saving USA Billions of Dollars.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Since taking office last year, Pruitt has boldly carried out the president\u2019s campaign promises. In October, he moved to repeal Obama\u2019s <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Clean Power Plan\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Clean_Power_Plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener wikipedia\">Clean Power Plan<\/a> regulations, ending the War On Coal and providing a shot in the arm for coal country that had been decimated.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article points out the double standard in the attacks on Scott Pruitt:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Pruitt\u2019s \u201cscandals\u201d are exaggerated for political expediency: never mind that the Obama EPA spent just as much, if not more, than Pruitt\u2019s team, according to a recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2018\/03\/22\/obamas-epa-appointees-spent-as-much-or-more-on-travel-than-trumps-pruitt-data-show.html\">Fox News<\/a> report. \u00a0Or that Lisa Jackson, Obama\u2019s EPA chief, was caught using the email alias \u201cRichard Windsor\u201d to communicate with people outside the government. Or that one Obama-era EPA employee was caught downloading and watching pornography on the job. These issues prompted no outrage from Hill offices, and one questions if Congressional inquiry could possibly be politically motivated, or if left-wing outrage is a one-way street.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article concludes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Our message to Administrator Pruitt: American energy workers who are going back to work thank you.
