Scott Pruitt: Trump’s Exec. Order ‘Will Address’ Obama’s ‘Efforts to Kill Jobs Across the Country’

‘This is about making sure that we have need a pro-growth and pro-environment approach to how we do regulation in this country’

PRUITT: "George, the president is keeping his promise to the American people this week. With respect to this executive order that's coming out on Tuesday, the Energy independence executive order. And as you indicated, this is about making sure that we have need a pro-growth and pro-environment approach to how we do regulation in this country. For too long, over the last several years, we have accepted a narrative that if you're pro-growth, pro-jobs, you're anti-environment; if you're pro-environment, you're anti-jobs or anti-growth. And that's just not where we have been as a country throughout our existence. We have made tremendous progress on our environment. And we can be both pro-jobs and pro-environment. And the executive order will address the past administration's efforts to kill jobs across this country through the clean power plant."
