Politics Ryan Zinke Says He Never Took a Private Jet Because the Plane He Flew on Had Propellers

[SlyPokerDog]

Trump’s Secretary of the Interior, Ryan Zinke, has argued that he never took a private jet, because the planes he travelled on had propellers. He made the bizarre statement Tuesday as he faced questions in Congress about his spending of taxpayer dollars for a series of chartered flights.

“I never took a private jet anywhere,” Zinke told Sen. Maria Cantwell, the ranking Democrat on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, when she pressed him about three flights, including a $12,375 flight he made last spring from Las Vegas to Kalispell near his hometown in Montana.

Zinke pointed out that the plane, a Beechcraft King Air 200 owned by oil and gas executives, and the aircraft used during the other two flights, didn’t have jet engines but were driven by propellers.

“To allege that it’s a private jet is inappropriate, ma'am,” Zinke said, calling the line of Cantwell’s questions no more than “insults and innuendos.”

Both the Office of Special Counsel and the Interior’s Office of the Inspector General are investigating Zinke. Government officials are instructed to only fly commercial unless there is no other option.

Zinke was criticized last December for a $6,250 helicopter ride he took in July between Virginia and Washington so that he could ride horses with Vice President Mike Pence.

LOL, OMG how can people be so stupid as to support the Trump administration? Huh? How is it even possible? I envision them as all having bad teeth and extremely poor diction.
