Speaker Oklahoma Attorney General SCOTT PRUITT
Q: Do you support Donald Trump for President?
A: “ No.”
Q: [ Why ? ]
A: “I believe that Donald Trump in the White House would be more abusive to the Constitution than Barack Obama — and that’s saying a lot,”
“I really believe he would use a blunt instrument. This president at least tries to nuance his unlawfulness.”
Pruitt went on to warn that he feared Trump would :
“use executive power to confront Congress in a way that is truly unconstitutional.”
