Apparently, there are some conservatives blaming Pruitt's resignation on "the coverage". Thought GOP Strategist, Rick Wilson, was dead nuts in his reaction via twitter. There's a string of posts - below is one.
"Save some tiny iota of dignity. Do you really believe that the coverage of Pruitt was driven by anything other than actions he took himself? Did the New York Times make him send his minions out seeking hand lotion? Did the Washington Post force him to live with a lobbyist?!"

"The Republican Party’s head-first dive into breathless conspiratorial fantasies in defense of Donald Trump is a brand-defining moment as the Party of Lincoln morphs into the Party of LaRouche. Listening as members of Congress, the Fox News/talk-radio world and the constellation of batshit-crazy people drawn to Esoteric Trumpism adopt increasingly baroque theories to protect The Donald isn’t just depressing; it’s tragic."
