DC restaurant offers drink special to celebrate Pruitt resignation

A restaurant in Washington, D.C., is offering a drink special in honor of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt’s resignation.

“Pruitt blew it! #yourefired happy hour at The Bird tonight,” The Bird tweeted on Thursday shortly after President Trump announced Pruitt’s resignation.

“$4 happy hour drinks from 5-7pm, including our Pruitt Blew It cocktail special!”

The Bird said in 2017 that it would offer discounted drinks “anytime Trump fires a White House official.”

It promoted a similar drink special after White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon left the administration in August 2017, and it had a cocktail called “the Mooch” following the dismissal of White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci.

Pruitt’s departure came as the EPA chief was ensnared in a series of scandals surrounding his management, ethics and spending. He is also the focus of more than a dozen federal investigations.
