Scott Pruitt, on Morning Joe, WILL NOT ANSWER question RE: Trump on climate change

Scarborough is hammering him again and again and Pruitt just keeps deflecting. Said "the climate is changing." Willie Geist asked "So is this position different from the president saying that climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese?" Pruitt said "You're asking that question to get away from the reasons why we left the Paris accord."

Also said coal mining jobs are the wave of the future. Was reminded that "mining jobs" are not exclusively "coal mining jobs." Responded with "The last time I looked, coal is mined."



He's spinning like the proverbial frog in the blender.
