## Transcript

I really thought that it was just another example of the excess, had caused the issue. Because I had just been reading about with the secret service budget over time and some of the other things that we have seen over the last few months. And it also Upset me because here was a person getting off the government airplane. On what I assume was a government trip, with a government official. Honestly didn't know who se was. I assume she was the secretary's wife, but didn't know her name or anything but to then be tagging everything she was wearing, with all this expensive European designers names just.

Seemed ridiculous and, quite frankly, offended me as someone who paid for part of their trip. It was very ironic that she was calling me out of touch and assuming things about me and Just being so incredibly condescending and so incredibly rude. But, it really fit in with her original posts. So, I guess the assumptions I made originally, her lengthy response to my very short post confirmed what I thought.
