WASHINGTON (AP) — Louise Linton, the wife of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, blasted as “adorably out of touch” a person who criticized her Instagram post in which Linton depicted her designer-label outfit.
Linton posted the picture of herself Monday getting off a government plane in Kentucky with Mnuchin. In her post, she mentioned several designer labels for her all-white outfit, including Tom Ford and Valentino.
The commenter responded: “Glad we could pay for your little getaway. #deplorable.”
Linton, an actress, responded on Instagram by calling the commenter “adorably out of touch.” She suggested she and Mnuchin contributed more to the U.S. economy and paid more in taxes than her critic.
The Treasury Department didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from The Associated Press on Tuesday.
