The Energy 202: Arnold Schwarzenegger calls Scott Pruitt 'worst environmental secretary that we have ever had’

Arnold Schwarzenegger is no fan of President Trump or his deputies, including Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt. Yet the former California governor cemented his place as perhaps the most anti-Trump Republican out there, at least on energy and environmental issues, by calling Pruitt “the worst environmental secretary that we have ever had.”

Vienna, Austria this month.
In an interview with Vice News published over the Memorial Day weekend, Schwarzenegger had unusually harsh words for the embattled EPA administrator.

“He's doing the bidding for the oil companies and the coal companies,” Schwarzenegger said when asked about the possibility the EPA will take away California's ability to set its own automobile emissions standards. "I pay no attention to what he says. He cannot be taken seriously.”
