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 advocated a radical, anti-ICE platform that 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 outlet The Intercept is calling them out for this:
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.
