Schwarzenegger: Pruitt resignation is ‘fantastic’
Politico ^ | 07/05/2018 | CARLA MARINUCCI

“It’s about time,” he tweeted of Pruitt’s departure. “He will go down in the history books as the worst EPA administrator we’ve ever had.”

“This is a fantastic day that he’s gone, but of course it doesn’t mean that the problem is gone,’’ said Schwarzenegger, who months ago called for Pruitt’s resignation from the Environmental Protection Agency.

In an interview with POLITICO Thursday, Schwarzenegger warned that Andrew Wheeler, who will replace Pruitt as acting director, is “the wrong guy” to protect Americans’ health and environment.

“If you want to really do a good job with the environment, you don’t have a coal lobbyist be the leader of the EPA,’’ Schwarzenegger said. “You do what one of our heroes did, Ronald Reagan [who] appointed one of the top scientists in the world studying air pollution,’’ he said. “That’s what you really want — the brightest and the best.”

Asked for his message to Trump about his next pick for EPA administrator, Schwarzenegger said: “My message is to have someone who is really interested in the environment, and someone who is going to fight for the people, and who is really feeling part of the world community.”

“Because it’s global warming,’’ he said. “It’s not American warming or China warning or Russia warning or European warming. It’s global — and we’re concerned that worldwide pollution doesn’t have any boundaries, doesn’t have any borders.

Well Awwwnold, Pruitt being gone should not derail the de-radicalization of the EPA for two years.

Hopefully, he’ll be replaced by somebody who is even worse. FU Ahnold.

Schwartznegger’s lack of scientific training shows very clearly here.

No wonder he was a terrible Governor of California.

Him going back to Austria would be FANTASTIC - but they wouldn’t want him.

At the time we elected him I thought Ahnold was California's Trump.
It was a long shot but he didn't have the b**ls or the IQ to deliver.
Too may steroids, I believe.

The trouble with long shots is...

Gone Liberal? He was a Republican in California. He was like anchovies on a pizza.

Arnold, do you remember this:

"…Even Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, a noted environmentalist, has had enough of such arguments. “If we cannot put solar power plants in the Mojave desert, I don’t know where the hell we can put it,” he told students at Yale University."

This is how the rest of us feel about environmentalists all the time. Unnecessary and completely unproductive restrictions designed only to stifle any real progress.

Sounds to me like he bought into the global warming religion; both mentally and financially.

Al “the bore” Gore made $200M off it. I guess The Governator’s political career and acting career are both over with or waning so he needs another golden goose to keep laying them fat profitable eggs.

Maybe he hopes this environmentalist shtick will jump start a senate or rep run in CA.

Only the New World Order (NWOTM) can save us!!! Look, a messiah who has created peace in the Middle East with a 7-year peace deal. And the religious leader is on board. Next, a 666 so everyone can buy or sell while pledging allegiance to the new messiah (after 1,260 days have passed since the confirmation of the covenant of the peace deal (Daniel 9:26-27).

No borders! Finally the world can be as one as John Lennon always "Imagine"-----d.

You're right. He's too Americanized as a leftist now. AKA a weenie boy. Who woulda thunk it of Ahnold.

Best EPA chief ever.

The EPA needed roping in. Still needs it.

... and of course the seriousness of the charges (that don’t matter if you’re an important Democrat).

Look for lots of serious charges to be leveled at everyone in the administration.
