I guess Bob Mills isn’t the only right-wing Trumpamaniac with a thing for hot air balloons!

On Friday afternoon, just in time for Ryan Walters’s return from Wrestlemania 45: GOP National Convention Edition, KFOR greeted our State School Superintendent with yet another investigative report into his use of taxpayer-funded travel expenses.

This time around, as opposed to driving down to Dallas for right-wing movie premieres, Ryan and Co. apparently lived it up by spending over $12,000 to visit five-star resorts and fancy hotels, where they could then network, self-promote, and hobnob with right-wing elites while going on early morning hot air balloon rides.
