YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Scott Pruitt is the fossil fuel shill Trump put in charge of the EPA. He's really excited to let polluters give you cancer and destroy planet Earth. John Iadarola, Ryan Clayton, and Brian Unger, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Scott Pruitt, the new administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, chose a Western Pennsylvania coal mine to start his “Back-to-Basics” tour on Thursday, where he declared that “the war on coal is done.”

Dozens of Consol Energy miners, in hard hats and coveralls, some with coal dust on their faces and hands, cheered as Mr. Pruitt delivered a short speech, received an honorary Consol hard hat with the inscription “Make America Great Again” and thanked them for their work.

Where the previous administration tried to convince people that there’s a choice to be made between environmental protection and the work these miners do, Mr. Pruitt said, that will no longer be the calculation in Washington.

“It’s been said that you can’t have your cake and eat it too, and I’ll tell you, whoever says that doesn’t know what you’re supposed to do with cake,” he said.”*
