Longtime vocal critic of President Donald Trump, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) mocked Trump and former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price for not being rich enough to fit into Trumps world.
Before Prices resignation was announced Friday, Trump told reporters that he has some great secretaries and that some of his cabinet secretaries actually own their private planes, which solves that. He was referencing reports that Department of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos frequently travels using a private plane that she owns and pays for herself.
Not long after news of Prices resignation broke, Schiff tweeted that Price committed the one unpardonable sin in Trumps world: Being rich, but not rich enough to own his own private jet.
Price resigned on Friday after a weeks worth of reports that he had spent more than $1 million of taxpayer money to travel in private jets since coming to the White House.
