WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, the Sierra Club began airing a TV ad on Fox and Friends and Morning Joe calling for Trump to fire Environmental Protection Agency administrator Scott Pruitt. The ads will air on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week. The ad is part of the Boot Pruitt campaign, a coordinated effort among several groups aimed at forcing Pruitt from office.
In response, Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune released the following statement:
"Every audience deserves to hear what Scott Pruitt is doing to our air, our water, and our health -- even Donald Trump. Pruitt is endangering families and wasting taxpayer dollars. That would be enough to get him fired twice in any normal administration. But insulting Trump? We don’t think that’s something even he can ignore. There’s no question that its past time to boot Pruitt.”
