EPA administrator Scott Pruittâaside from being a corrupt shill for the energy industryâis also reportedly a huge slob.
Tucked into a Daily Beast story on Thursday nightâabout the recent revelations of Pruittâs condo situation potentially forcing the lobbyist whose family owned the condo into an early retirementâis this tidbit about Pruittâs living habits:
The living arrangement caused headaches in real time as well. Pruitt was described by numerous sources as a disastrous tenant, with one comparing him to Owen Wilsonâs character in You, Me and Dupree. According to three people familiar with events, Pruitt would not take out the trash during his time staying at the townhouse believing that a cleaning service would do it for him. There was no cleaning service that came with the apartment, however. And the garbage bags piled up to the point that Vicki Hart was forced to tell him to put them in the canister and to bring that canister out to the street the next time he left the building.
âTenant from hell,â said one source.
The head of the Environmental Protection Agency, described as the âtenant from hellâ for the lobbyists who owned the condo he lived in for fifty dollars per night.
This is only the most recent story to come out about how Pruitt was a terrible guest. Politico reported last Friday that Steve and Vicki Hart, the owners of the condo, âbecame so frustrated by their lingering tenantââthatâs Scott Pruittââthat they eventually pushed him out and changed their locks.â According to one of Politicoâs sources, Pruitt was the âKato Kaelin of Capitol Hill,â a reference to O.J. Simpsonâs houseguest who later became a witness for the prosecution in Simpsonâs murder trial.
Kaelin responded on Twitter, because of course he did:
