Jenni Miller, a mother of three from Portland, posted: “Glad we could pay for your little getaway. #deplorable”
“Aw!!! Did you think this was a personal trip?! Adorable!” Linton replied. “Do you think the US govt paid for our honeymoon or personal travel?! Lololol. Have you given more to the economy than me and my husband? Either as an individual earner in taxes OR in self sacrifice to your country?”
Ms. Linton went on: “I’m pretty sure we paid more taxes toward our day ‘trip’ than you did. Pretty sure the amount we sacrifice per year is a lot more than you’d be willing to sacrifice if the choice was yours.”
