Actress Louise Linton, and new wife of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, lashed out at an Instagram user Monday night, bragging about how much she pays in taxes.
The Scottish actress posted a photo on Instagram showing her leaving a government plane while on a trip to Kentucky with Mnuchin and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). In the post, she included hashtags for the expensive brands she was wearing, such as #rolandmouret, #hermesscarf, #tomford and #valentino.
An Instagram user accused her of being “deplorable” and mocked her, saying that she is “glad we could pay for your little getaway.”
“Aw!!! Did you think this was a personal trip?! Adorable!" Linton wrote. "Do you think the US govt paid for our honeymoon or personal travel?! Lololol. Have you given more to the economy than me and my husband? Either as an individual earner in taxes OR in self sacrifice to your country?"
Linton went on to comment that the user's "life looks cute" and that she is "adorably out of touch."
