Mnuchin: I had no interest in eclipse because ‘I’m a New Yorker’
Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin defended his trip to view the Solar Eclipse from Fort Knox in Kentucky, in which he used a government plane, saying he did hot have any interest in the event because he is from New York.
“People in Kentucky took this stuff very seriously. Being a New Yorker, I don’t have any interest in watching the eclipse,” Muchin said on Thursday, according to The Washington Post .

The Kentucky trip ended within miles of the path of totality, the narrow band across the United States where the moon totally blotted out the sun during the solar eclipse. Mnuchin viewed it from one of the most restricted sites in the world: Fort Knox.
On Thursday, Mnuchin also addressed this controversy, saying the trip was to see Fort Knox and not the eclipse.
“People in Kentucky took this stuff very seriously. Being a New Yorker, I don’t have any interest in watching the eclipse,” he said.

Only those who go barefoot are primitive enough to stare up at the sky I guess.
Typical Trump crony.
True, he's a New York democrat.
He is a wealthy , crooked, goof. They are their own party.
If you stuck a picture of the eclipse on a designer handbag, his wife would be interested in it... I wonder what the soldiers at Ft. Knox thought about HER? To me, they're both clueless...
To me, they're both clueless...
Clueless or classless ?
BOTH...

I heard Mrs. Mnuchin set her sugar daddy out to find a bottle of Cristal to celebrate the occasion, but this was all he could find.
