Duckworth asks Trump's EPA chief if Morocco is a "shithole country"


Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) asked the head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Tuesday whether he believes Morocco is a “shithole” country.

The question came as Duckworth was scrutinizing EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt’s recent official trip to the North African nation, in part to promote liquefied natural gas exports.

“Can I assume that like all these other Americans, you did not find Morocco, a North African nation, to be a shithole when you visited?” Duckworth asked Pruitt at an Environment and Public Works Committee hearing.


Duckworth was immediately cut off by Committee Chairman John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) because her time for questioning Pruitt had expired.

Another quote from the article:


“While your home state of Oklahoma is the third-largest producer of natural gas in the country, I don’t understand what the sale of natural gas has to do with the EPA’s mission,” she said.
