Jen Detlefsen, the daughter of Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, in late July slammed President Donald Trump for his directive banning transgender military recruits.
“This man is a disgrace. I've tried to keep politics out of my social media feed as much as possible, but this is inexcusable,” she wrote in an Instagram post.
“This veteran says sit down and shut the f--- up, you know-nothing, never-served piece of s---. #itmfa #wtf”
Detlefsen, like her dad, served in in the U.S. Navy.
Zinke was not made available for an interview about his daughter’s comments, the Billings Gazette reported.
“This is not a matter related to the Department of the Interior so I cannot offer you a statement,” Interior Press Secretary Heather Swift wrote in response to a reporter’s request.
She later added, “Family members are not elected officials and deserve privacy and respect.”
