Treasury secretary’s wife blasted for boasting of wealth on Instagram

‘Louise Linton, wife of Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, is facing accusations of being out of touch, condescending and nasty on Instagram when she returned fire to a commenter who criticized her promotion of luxury clothing brands.
Linton posted a photograph to Instagram on Monday showing her getting off of a government jet from Kentucky. Linton tagged a number of designer brands in her image, including Hermes, Tom Ford and Valentino.
Jenni Miller, a mother from Oregon, commented under the post: “Glad we could pay for your little getaway. #deplorable…”
…“If she hadn’t made her account private, I would have written back with a very snide Marie Antoinette joke,” Miller told the New York Times. “I think my post was just five or six words, and she had to go on basically a rant about it to make herself look more important and look smarter, better, richer — all those things,”
Miller said she was didn’t understand Linton’s decision to tag designer labels in her post, especially as she was visiting a state with high poverty.’
