Washington (CNN) A woman confronted Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt at a Washington restaurant and urged him to "resign before your scandals push you out."

Kristin Mink was having lunch with her son on Monday when she noticed Pruitt with a colleague at Teaism in Penn Quarter and decided to confront him, child in tow.

In a video of the encounter, Mink cites Pruitt's "slashing strong fuel standards for cars and trucks for the benefits of big corporations" and his "paying about 50 bucks a night to stay in a DC condo that's connected to an energy lobbying firm, while approving their dirty sands pipeline" as reasons for him to resign.

"We deserve to have somebody at the EPA who actually does protect our environment, somebody who believes in climate change and takes it seriously for the benefit of all of us, including our children," Mink tells Pruitt in the video.

Mink spoke to CNN's Kate Bolduan on Tuesday evening, saying "there was never doubt" in her mind about confronting Pruitt.
