The Democrat Party's mask is slipping in California as San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan launched a blistering attack on billionaire gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer, exposing the ugly truth about how wealthy elites think they can simply buy their way into power.
Mahan didn't mince words Wednesday, telling voters that Steyer "thinks you're stupid" and is attempting to use his massive hedge fund fortune to purchase the California governor's office despite a record that completely contradicts his current progressive posturing.
This is exactly what we've been saying for years, folks. These billionaire Democrats lecture working Americans about inequality while using their obscene wealth to manipulate our elections and buy political power. Now even their own party members are calling them out!
The Gloves Come Off
The escalating war between these two Democrats reveals the hypocrisy at the heart of the progressive movement. While they preach about fighting the influence of money in politics, here's Steyer - a former hedge fund manager worth billions - trying to write himself a check straight to the governor's mansion.
"He thinks you're stupid," Mahan declared, perfectly capturing how these coastal elites view everyday Californians.
This internal Democrat civil war couldn't come at a better time. As President Trump works to restore sanity to our nation from Washington, watching the radical left tear each other apart in California shows Americans exactly what we're up against.
Steyer's attempt to buy high office is nothing new for Democrats. From Michael Bloomberg's failed presidential vanity project to countless other examples, wealthy progressives think they can purchase whatever political power they want while ordinary Americans struggle under policies these same elites helped create.
The question California voters need to ask themselves is simple: Do you want your next governor chosen by the people, or bought and paid for by a billionaire hedge fund manager who made his fortune off the very system he now claims to oppose? The choice couldn't be clearer.
