Current Events > Scott Pruitt used tax payer resources to buy Ritz Carlton beauty product

(+) Yeah! (+)

While EPA security agents are required to protect Pruitt at all times while he is working and during his off hours the two individuals said the administrator had asked members of the detail to perform tasks that go beyond their primary function. In one instance, they said, he directed agents to drive him to multiple locations in search of a particular lotion on offer at Ritz-Carlton hotels.

One other occasions, they added, he asked agents to pick up his dry cleaning without him.

Misuse of official staff to pick up dry cleaning is a perennial Washington scandal. Indeed, Rep. Tom Garrett (R-VA) resigned two weeks ago over a set of staff abuse allegations that included the dry-cleaning beef. I use Rinse to get my dry cleaning picked up and dropped off without scandal, which is probably something that more of official Washington should look into.

The moisturizing lotion thing is, however, kind of a new one. Its also not clear why exactly Pruitt would order staffers to drive him to multiple hotels rather than simply calling in advance. That said, for context, theres a Ritz-Carlton in downtown DC, another one in Georgetown, and another one in the inner-ring suburb of Pentagon City, so it wouldnt necessarily take all that long to hit multiple Ritz-Carltons though if they went all the way out to the Tysons Corner Ritz-Carlton, that would be really egregious.

For real though, why is this guy still employed? All politics aside, he has been caught red-handed multiple times wasting tax payer money on personal expenses. Nobody--republican or democrat--should be allowed to do that.
