Wife Of Treasury Secretary Taken To Task For Bragging About Her Wardrobe
c
Louise Linton, the wife of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, has apologized for causing an Instagram farrago after a night of mockery on social media.
Linton hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons after she posted photos of herself stepping off a taxpayer-funded plane wearing at least $15,000 in clothes and items - and tagged the names of the high-end brands she was wearing.
That invoked the ire of Oregon mom-of-three Jenni Miller, who commented on the photo: 'Glad we could pay for your little getaway. #deplorable'.
Linton's poor grasp of media optics might have still sunk without trace, but instead she chose to reply with a extended passive-aggressive rant in which she, a minor actress who grew up in a castle, accused Miller of being 'Adorably out of touch.'
Screenshots of the photos and comments then did the round on Twitter - leading to much mockery and derision.
Finally, on Tuesday afternoon - a day after the social media showdown - Linton's publicist offered this curt apology: 'I apologize for my post on social media yesterday as well as my response. It was inappropriate and highly insensitive.'

Where is a mud puddle when you need one?
Besides the vulgar touting of all of her expensive clothes, well, this was a personal trip for her. After all, she's not a cabinet member. She's just along for the ride, doing no work at all.
A pie in the face would work as well as a mud puddle.
''let her eat pie''...
Blueberry. That would never wash out of all those white clothes.

I have never understood why people have to brag about their designer clothes anyway. Are you a better person because you have Tom Ford sunnies?
WGAF ?
That would be a good question for Elton John.
If you say so.
I guess if you pay $800 for a tiny scarf you feel compelled to tell all your closest friends on Instagram.
Some people like to project that they're happy when in reality they're miserable. Her tweet was more for herself then anyone else.
