Lisa Jackson says Al Armendariz isn't going anywhere

4/27/12 11:55 AM EDT

EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson says she's spoken to Region 6 chief Al Armendariz about his "crucify" comments that have some GOP congressmen calling for his resignation. "I've spoken to Dr. Armendariz. I've made clear to him that I'm glad he apologized because his comments were disappointing; they're not representative of the agency; they don't reflect any policy that we have; and they don't reflect our actions over the past two years. And we'll continue to review and talk to Dr. Armendariz," Jackson said this morning when asked if he is facing any disciplinary action.
