I recall the fallout, but cannot speak to the details.
But I’m curious about your framing of Trump’s involvement — that he ‘allowed’ it.
I get the frustration where Trump couldn’t (or perhaps wouldn’t) save the good guy (in this case, Pruitt,) but I find it hard to believe that Trump would willingly toss aside anyone that supports his committed agenda.
Not sure I’m following the Gingrich analogy. Are you saying Trump should have rescued Pruitt, and immunize him from the BS?
Re: “I find it hard to believe that Trump would willingly toss aside anyone that supports his committed agenda.”
I don’t know how to respond to that.
That’s EXACTLY what happened.
Pruitt was the only consequential Conservative in the Trump Administration. And Trump, and the rest of the GOP, just sat there and watched him get destroyed.
Gingrich had the passion and the intellect to be the most consequential Conservative in American history.
And the GOP just sat there and watched him get destroyed.
