A far left group called ‘Our Revolution’ which is explicitly anti-billionaire has endorsed billionaire Democrat Tom Steyer for governor of California. This group is basically a continuation of the Bernie Sanders 2016 presidential campaign.
Steyer has advocateda radical, anti-ICE platformthat includes bringing illegals back into the country and jailing ICE agents.
It’s almost like this group doesn’t really care about billionaires and just want to make sure that the left clings to power in California. Almost.
Even the liberal outletThe Interceptis calling them out for this:
Progressive Group Founded by Bernie Sanders Endorses Billionaire for California Governor
Our Revolution, the progressive group founded by Bernie Sanders as an outgrowth of his 2016 presidential campaign, is endorsing its first billionaire as the race for California governor tightens.
Tom Steyer, a hedge-fund billionaire and philanthropist, won the group’s endorsement on Monday. Our Revolution said its decision to back Steyer was driven in part by the shakeup over Rep. Eric Swalwell’s exit and fear that if progressives fail to consolidate around a candidate, they’ll hand the gubernatorial seat to a Republican.
“While yes, he is a billionaire, and that’s a real and important concern, it’s equally important to recognize how he’s used his wealth and power,” said Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese.
Steyer, he said, is the candidate most ideologically aligned with his group’s pledge to fight corporate power in politics — and the most likely to win.
“The worst thing that could happen is a Republican winning,” Geevarghese said. “Strategically, Steyer and his campaign is best positioned to make sure that does not happen.”
