Gowdy mocks Pruitt over travel spending: Maybe he should become a monk instead

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) mocked Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt's travel spending on Sunday, saying he should consider becoming a monk.

"If you sit first class, you're guaranteed to come into contact with everybody else on the plane. If you really want to avoid everybody on the plane, sit in the last seat, not the first seat," Gowdy told Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday."

"I'd be shocked if that many people knew who Scott Pruitt was, so the notion that I've got to fly first class because I don't want people to be mean to me, you need to go into another line of work if you don't want people to be mean to you. Like maybe a Monk," he continued.

Pruitt has been embroiled in a series of controversies involving excessive spending.

I don't like Trey Gowdy but even a broken clock is right twice a day.
