Government Official Admits Using Public Funds To Buy Her Dog A Tuxedo & We Aren’t Mad

Breaking news: government official uses tax dollars on personal use.

Among the many things she bought was a tuxedo for her pug. Usually, if someone spends upwards of $200,000 of tax dollars on something, people are angry and ready for blood. Not in this case. See, because she spent the money on something like a monkey suit for a dog, people on Twitter were more than forgiving.

Kristi Goss was an Arkansas administrative official when she stole public funds for her heinous activities.

#3 They were ready to pay more, in fact.

I'll pay more taxes to bring this to Washington state.

#4 This is not a sin, after all.

Really, putting a pug in a tuxedo is public service to us all. I see no problem with that expense. pic.twitter.com/BhyDiTgR5a

#6 The public has a right to see this.

The American public has a right to see how cute this pug looked in the "tuxedo". https://t.co/m70hDEzbp5

#9 It doesn’t make sense, really.

Seems fine as long as the dog has some kind of formal role in the county administration. It's not like the dog can buy its own tuxedo. https://t.co/zmNSmQI2BD

#11 The President of America should deal with this.

The woman who stole public money to buy a pug tuxedo truly deserves a pardon @realDonaldTrump. https://t.co/IKdb5dkynE

#12 It’s not like she bought drugs for her pug.

I feel like there are worse uses of public money than a pug tuxedo https://t.co/JhSafubPmh

#14 Unfortunately, she did more than just buy a tux.

Read the article; woman spent $200,000 on jewelry, sports tickets, throw pillows, and yes, a dog tuxedo. #TheMoreYouKnow #StayWoke
