EPA chief once called Trump an 'empty vessel' in interview

BY MIRANDA GREEN - 02/05/18 02:05 PM EST

The head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) once called President Trump an "empty vessel" when it comes to his knowledge of the Constitution, CNN reported on Monday.

Scott Pruitt criticized then-candidate Trump's ability to uphold the Constitution as president in an interview with an Oklahoma radio show in February 2016.

"I think he's an empty vessel when it comes to things like the Constitution and rule of law," Pruitt said on the "Exploring Energy" radio show. "I'm very concerned that perhaps if he's in the White House, that there may be a very blunt instrument as the voice of the Constitution."

Pruitt at the time of his comments was backing Jeb Bush's Republican presidential campaign.
