Mistake #1: Blaming the administration for all of this. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders was quick to note Thursday that the White House had no pre-approval of Price's flights. (That doesn't mean Price was lying; it just means that no one inside the actual White House signed off.)
Mistake #2: Offering to repay $52,000 when the total cost of the flights was in excess of $1 million. "It was over when he offered to pay part of the cost," one House member who served with Price told CNN's Lauren Fox. "That's admitting full guilt without full penance." (Also: Don't underestimate the fact that Price's lack of major wealth and seeming reluctance to repay the whole million bucks played a role in upping Trump's annoyance.)
