Rep. Ryan Zinke attempted to downplay criticisms surrounding President Trump's acceptance of a $400 million luxury plane from Qatar during a recent CNN interview. Despite backlash from political figures across the spectrum, including some Trump allies, Zinke insisted the plane's acquisition is legal and ethical, attributing his reasoning to its connection with former lobbyist Pam Bondi. He humorously deflected questions regarding the ethical implications of this gift, diverting the conversation towards the inevitability of aircraft upgrades for the president.
It must be one heck of a jet (LAUGHS) you know, because, you know, I was with President Trump and, you know, the current aircraft has aged.
Even some Republicans in Congress have been speaking out against it. What do you think?
Itâs not bribery. The transaction went through Pam Bondi, so it's legal and ethical.
Even some Trump allies, like Laura Loomer and Ben Shapiro, are against it.
