like rick perry at energy, like betsy devos at education, he's doing what he promised the american people he's deregulating the epa. >> i think it's a mixture of things. i think pruitt had supporters among people who said that despite the distractions of the mounting scandals that you can't even keep track of anymore, he was mounting on the agenda that he was put in place to do. his successor will do that without the mattresses and the lotion and the chick-fil-a and what not. so liberals that could even be more damaging, to conservatives that could make them feel better about it. but trump himself, pruitt knew how to kiss up to the president. we saw it in the language he used in the resignation letter. i think a lot of this happened in private, that he knew how to flatter trump. and so i think it was the personal relationship, too, that made john kelly have to be the hatchet man here, that trump was dragged along to this decision by his aides. pruitt probably would have hung on longer if trump was left to his own devices on this one for both of those reasons. >> reporting pruitt's surviva
