Pruitt had to have bullet resistant seat covers put in his customized SUV - this is an outrage!

The more I read about this guy, the higher my blood pressure spikes.

What the hell does the head of the EPA expect is going to happen? Is he expecting to be ambushed by terrorists or hit with an IED?

This disgraceful grifter epitomizes the exact type of behavior Trump promised to eliminate (of course we all knew that was an empty promise anyway). And we don't hear one itty bitty peep out of any Republican lawmakers over it. This is absolutely disgraceful! Why does this snake still have a job?

From the WaPo.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt upgraded his official car last year to a costlier, larger vehicle with bullet-resistant covers over bucket seats, according to federal records and interviews with current and former agency officials.

The records show that the EPA administrator’s office signed a lease in June on the Suburban, paying more than $300 extra per month for upgrades such as a leather interior, bucket seats in the second row and WiFi and GPS navigation. A representative at the Maryland-based company who provided the lease said the LT model that the EPA requested represents an upgrade from the LS model that is typical on government leases.

The monthly payment on the vehicle is $839, according to the contract.

The head of Pruitt’s security detail, Pasquale “Nino” Perrotta, subsequently approved the addition of Kevlar-like seat covers to the vehicle at a cost of hundreds of dollars, according to one official, on the grounds that it served as a security precaution. Two current EPA officials confirmed both the rental of the Suburban and the seat covers.
