Wife of Steve Mnuchin Unleashes Nasty Tirade Toward Instagram Rando

Screen-Shot-2017-08-22-at-6.22.05-AM.jpg


America is getting a reminder about the negative externalities of having billionaires in government — and their spouses.

On Monday evening, news began whipping around the Internet that Louise Linton, the 36-year-old Scottish actress and wife of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin went on a nasty, tirade against an anonymous Instagram user.

The spat began when the user chided Linton for posting a garish photo of herself disembarking from an official U.S. government jet while on a jaunt to Kentucky.

“Glad we could pay for your little getaway,” wrote Instagram user Jenni Miller, of Portland, Oregon.

That seems to have been too much for Linton, who responded with an essay. The thrust of the epistle seems to be that Linton has more money and can do what she wants and doesn’t have to truck with the criticism of the poors. It was worthy or Mean Girls — or possibly Marie Antoinette.

In Full:

“Cute! Aw!!! Did you think this was a personal trip?! Adorable! 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? 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. You’re adorably out of touch. Thanks for the passive aggressive nasty comment. Your kids look very cute. Your life looks cute. I know you’re mad but deep down you’re really nice and so am I. Sending me passive aggressive Instagram comments isn’t going to make life feel better. Maybe a nice message [sic], one filled with wisdom and hunanity [sic] would get more traction. Have a pleasant evening. Go chill out and watch the new game of thrones. It’s fab!”

It goes without saying that this didn’t last long on Instagram, and Ms. Linton’s account was swiftly privatized. But of course, nothing on the Internet disappears. So here’s a screengrab that has been retweeted 4,700+ times.

She seems like a real thrill at dinner parties.

DC Republicans Mock Steve Bannon’s War: ‘He’s a Guy With a Website’

Republicans in Washington D.C. are reportedly unconcerned with the newly declared #WAR against them.

After Steve Bannon was jettisoned from the White House just eight months into his tenure as chief strategist, he returned to Breitbart News with quixotic proclamations of the power his blog would wield against its supposed enemies in D.C.

Newt Gingrich Slams Steve Bannon For On-record Interview: 'This Reminds Me Of Scaramucci'

He referred to himself as “Bannon the Barbarian” in an interview with The Weekly Standard, and declared that he would “crush the opposition” with the “fucking machine at Breitbart.”

He told Bloomberg he was “going to war for Trump against his opponents,” a sentiment echoed by Breitbart editor Joel Pollak, who tweeted “#WAR” in response to Bannon’s firing. (In case you were wondering who those “opponents” are, according to Bannon they’re “on Capitol Hill, in the media, and in corporate America.”)

But that somewhat comical saber rattling from the bloggers at Breitbart does not seem to have inspired much fear in Hill Republicans, who told Yahoo News the website is unlikely to pose more of a threat to lawmakers than President Trump.

“The ousted senior White House adviser may be back guiding Breitbart’s right-wing reactionary bomb-throwing, but he’s likely to find himself in the same position that left-wing sites like Daily Kos and Huffington Post occupied when Barack Obama became president in 2009,” a number of Republicans told Yahoo.

A Republican close to House speaker Paul Ryan explained that “oppositional websites are much more potent when the movement they represent is not in the White House.”

“I haven’t heard any congressional Republican leaders express concern about Bannon going back to Breitbart,” the source continued. “He’s a guy with a website. How much of a problem can a guy with a website actually be? He was much more of a problem when he had daily, hourly, access to the Oval Office.”

And indeed, it’s hard to see how much damage a guy with a website can actually do: Breitbart has been waging a war against Ryan for years, and recently took to battering H.R. McMaster, Trump’s national security adviser — purportedly under the guidance of Bannon.

The result of that #WAR was Bannon’s shit-canning from the White House and the approval of McMaster’s plans in Afghanistan.

But Bannon sees it differently (or so he says): in the Weekly Standard interview he claimed “I can fight better on the outside.”

Again, that’s done little to ruffle the feathers of Hill Republicans. Alex Conant, a former campaign staffer for Sen. Marco Rubio, noted that Breitbart has “targeted [Senate Majority Leader Mitch] McConnell and Ryan for years, with very limited impact.”

“I don’t know what changes, except Bannon has less power today than he did a week ago,” he told Yahoo News.

“I’d think of them the same as any other ideological media: worth monitoring and engaging, but really not worth losing sleep over,” Conant concluded.

Steve Mnuchin’s Horrible Wife Also Apparently Wrote a Fake Memoir About Living in Africa

Louise Linton, the wife of President Donald Trump’s Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, marched confidently into controversy Monday night when she shamed someone on Instagram for not paying as much taxes as she does.

Linton had posted a photo of herself and Mnuchin disembarking from a U.S. government jet along with a caption bearing a series of hashtags of the brands she wore: “#rolandmouret, #hermesscarf, #tomford and #valentino.” And when one Instagram user commented “Glad we could pay for your little getaway,” Linton unleashed a tirade in which she accused the user of not paying as much in taxes as her and loaded husband Steve.

As criticism mounted against Marie Antoinette Linton in response to her comment, a 2016 article from Buzzfeed has recirculated about the actress‘ memoir, which describes the journey “of an intrepid teenager who abandoned her privileged life in Scotland to travel to Zambia as a gap year student where she found herself inadvertently caught up on the fringe of the Congolese War.”

As terrible as that sounds, it also appears large swathes of the memoir are completely fabricated, based more on stereotypes of Africa than any experience of Linton’s.

Titled “In Congo’s Shadow,” the book details Linton’s gap year in 1999 during the Second Congo War, and attracted criticism after a excerpt ran in The Telegraph in 2016. In the book, the blonde “anomaly in darkest Africa” describes in terrifying detail how she was almost raped a killed by machete-wielding Hutu rebels:

“Gunshots echoed through to bush and seemed to be getting closer. I tried to face up to the possibility that my life was over,” she writes in one passage. “If I were discovered in my bolthole, I would be raped. I would be cut down. Smirking men with deadened eyes would brutalise me before casting me aside like a rag doll.”

“Because I was a young white woman with a British passport I felt particularly vulnerable,” the actress explains.

She also describes an orphan-girl with HIV — a “smiling gap-toothed child with HIV whose greatest joy was to sit on my lap and drink from a bottle of Coca-Cola” — that she cared for during these intense moments.

But according to her critics, Linton’s book is full of factual errors. As Buzzfeed noted, “many people in Zambia and from other countries in the region say there are no records of Congolese rebels invading Zambian villages the way Linton describes.”

And one man who claimed to have known Linton during her time in Zambia tore apart her account of the events in a Facebook post, writing “I know all this because I was there.”

“Shame on her for her mindboggling and nonsensical fiction. Her book should be banned. Ot at least nbe [sic] presented as warped fiction,” he wrote.

The Buzzfeed article was written in July 2016, before Linton would become known as Mnuchin’s wife and a frequent flyer on U.S. government jets.
