Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt previously came under intense scrutiny for buying expensive first-class tickets because he was concerned that the people in coach were too mean to him.
Now the Associated Press is reporting that Pruitt wasn’t all that scared of the passengers in the back of the plane when he was the one paying for the ticket.
According to the AP, Pruitt flew coach on at least two flights back to his native Oklahoma that were not being payed for by the U.S. government.
Copies of Pruitt’s schedule released to the public show that twice during the fall, Pruitt flew home using Southwest Airlines, which does not offer first-class seats.
Pruitt previously claimed that the first class tickets he bought for government business were because of safety concerns after at least one passenger yelled at him, telling him “You’re fucking up the environment.”
