Morning Joe Slams Trump's 'Crony Cabinet': 'Stupidity on Top of Moral Corruption'

A Morning Joe panel laid into Tom Price Friday morning for his private and military jet use, which Politico reported cost taxpayers more than $1 million.
After playing a number of old clips in which Price lambasted various lawmakers for traveling private, the panel began discussing the fate of President Donald Trumps Health and Human Services Secretary.
MSNBCs Willie Geist then brought up a report that Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke has also been flying private to which Nicolle Wallace guffawed and cried out: What is wrong with these people!?
Wallace recalled that when she was in the White House working under President George W. Bush, the ethics adviser would never have allowed such extravagant travel expenditures.
When Donald Trump says that I can shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and my base would forgive me, hes largely correct, Wallace said. But that does not extend to his crony cabinet.
Its the bad mindset of the people at the top, Geist added. They shouldnt be even thinking of getting on these planes. How could the process exist within these departments that people in the legal affairs department, the ethics office, how could they possibly sign off on it?
