EPA Head Scott Pruitt Wanted an Official Agency Coin Emblazoned With a Bible Verse

http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2018/04/12/epa-head-scott-pruitt-wanted-an-official-agency-coin-emblazoned-with-a-bible-verse/

...The embattled Donald Trump appointee is currently the subject of at least two ethics investigations.

Today’s Pruitt controversy concerns a commemorative coin that the wanted the EPA to order:

When Scott Pruitt wanted to refashion the Environmental Protection Agency’s “challenge coin” — a type of souvenir medallion with military origins that has become a status symbol among civilians — he proposed an unusual design: Make it bigger, and delete the E.P.A. logo.

Mr. Pruitt instead wanted the coin to feature some combination of symbols more reflective of himself and the Trump administration. Among the possibilities: a buffalo, to evoke Mr. Pruitt’s native Oklahoma, and a(n unspecified) Bible verse to reflect his faith.

They have only ONE goal - make US into their warped idea of a 'christian' nation!

That's why they still support T and pushed Pence for VP - lock up fed judiciary for yrs with dominionist judges appointed for life. See Vitter's wife as latest- she won't say Brown SCOTUS decision vs segregation was a good and legit verdict!!
