Scott Pruitt is a wuss

The man with a huge security detail who rides planes in first class because he says the people in coach might harm him apparently sees everything as a threat.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) received a postcard addressed to Administrator Scott Pruitt last year regarding climate change and interpreted it as “potentially threatening.”

The postcard featured a man standing on an iceberg.

The other side read, in handwritten pen, “Dear Mr. Pruitt, CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL!!! We are watching you. For the sake of our planet, our children & our grandchildren, will you be a reasonable man? I repeat, we are watching you!”

It was signed by seven people, only with their first names.

[...]

The EPA’s Office of Inspector General mentioned it in a list of potential threats Pruitt had received, which Pruitt and his aides have used to justify his unprecedented 24/7 security detail, which has cost taxpayers at least $3.5 million.

[...]

“Although the message does not contain a direct threat, the statements ‘will you be a reasonable man?’ and ‘we are watching you’ can be interpreted as intimidating and potentially threatening,’ ” Sullivan wrote.

  The Hill
"Will you be a reasonable man?" is threatening and intimidating? Pruitt is obviously easily intimidated. Let's see the other threats.
Agents “interviewed the subject who expressed regret and apologized for sending the postcard,” reads the summary, authored also by Sullivan.

The inspector general noted that the subject “was wearing two handguns on [redacted] waist,” and prosecutors declined to press charges.
None of that makes any sense.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

P.S.
