Tom Price's disgusting behavior

They rail against the "elites" and call for draining the swamp and then when Trump and his cabinet clearly take advantage of their positions for personal gain in a way that epitomizes grift and greed, Trump supporters shrug.

What's with the cognitive dissonance?

It's called White Privilege.

They voted him in knowing how sleazy and underhanded he is, how he profited from insider trading, how corrupt he is. They should not be surprised that he's a grifter. He has not changed.

The GOP voted him in because he was not HRC. Also, many independents and Democrats who voted for Obama voted him in as well.

Put a lid on your Hillary Derangement Syndrome for a moment and read more carefully. PP was not talking about voting Trump in, PP was talking about voting Price in. He was a Representative from Georgia for years prior to the cabinet position.

Seriously.

Based on sample flight rates, the cost for Price to fly commercial would have been somewhere between $400 and $725—as opposed to $25,000 to charter a jet for a short trip from Washington, D.C. to Philadelphia and back.

Not to mention the train station is a hell of a lot closer to HHS than the airport.

What happens if he is found to have misused government funds to pay for this jet? Does he have to pay it back? Or is it a criminal charge because he misused a high $ amount of government funds?

He receives a presidential pardon.

"The secretary neither seeks, nor accepts, any reimbursement for her flights, nor for any additional official travel-related expenses, such as lodging and per diem, even though she is entitled to such reimbursement under government travel regulations," Hill said.

Well, good for Betsy DeVos. But this thread is about Tom Price.

I hope it works on the Trumpgrifters, Inc.

I hope Secretary Price gets cancer of the scrotum, ALS, shingles, mumps, and staph. Simultaneously.

MSNBC had the tape of Price denouncing the use of private jets in 2009
