In an ideal world money would not equate to power and freedom.
In this world it does.
He disrespects those people whose souls he frets so much about saving.
Anyone who is trouble or strapped for cash (cop, teacher, firefighter, nurse, student, public health official, etc.) trying to make a difference would love to have this money spent towards the empowerment of their desire to do good on this earth.
He claims to be the moral leader and voice of the conservative movement. But he wasted his goodwill, not on the people who need the help the most, but on his own cheap thrills.
I am a selfish person; I will do selfish things and pursue my selfish interest. But I will not claim to be virtuous, I will be honest with myself and the people with whom I do work.
In essence he is a liar.
