During Tuesday's edition of MSNBC Live With Velshi and Ruhle, host Ali Velshi interviewed Kristin Mink, the teacher who had confronted EPA Secretary Scott Pruitt the day before.  Velshi eventually asked Mink "Are you at all concerned about the narrative that the Administration is putting forward that they're being harassed and persecuted?"  Mink responded by saying "You know, I can't control that. We can't control that. They're of course going to try to spin it." Velshi asked Mink "what does success look like to you in a conversation like that?"  Mink said that "honestly, it would have been great if he was like, you know what, I’m really corrupt I’m going to resign right now and I hope that whoever takes my place does something better for the environment."
