Elizabeth Warren wooed donors at top Manhattan restaurant boasting $6,600 wines

Elizabeth Warren recently made headlines jabbing 2020 Democratic rival Pete Buttigieg over his Napa Valley "wine cave" fundraiser. But the Massachusetts senator's own campaign fundraisers have sometimes taken place at a restaurant boasting bottles that cost more than $6,500.
quote:
A dinner at the restaurant's main dining room runs $134 for a three-course tasting menu — and that's before the wine. While customers can find wines such as the Chilean white La Ruptura at $48, Gramercy Tavern's 34-page wine list also offers bottles of Burgundies costing $6,600, such as Domaine Coche-Dury's 2013 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru.
The Warren campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
quote:
Revelations of Warren's own ritzy fundraisers come after her attacks on Buttigieg's wealthy donor base. At Thursday's Democratic primary debate, Warren implied the South Bend, Indiana, mayor was selling access to his campaign through fundraisers held in locations such as wine caves that featured $900 bottles of wine.
quote:
"We made the decision many years ago that rich people in smoke-filled rooms would not pick the next president of the United States," Warren said. "Billionaires in wine caves should not pick the next president of the United States."
Buttigieg responded by saying Warren was "issuing purity tests [she] cannot pass," citing the money she raised from wealthy donors for her Senate campaign, of which millions of dollars were transferred to her presidential campaign. Following the debate, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat and winery owner himself, condemned Warren's comments and said wine was "one of America's great exports."

Nice wine skyscraper, Pocahontas. Better for sending smoke signals too.

Not a Warren fan but this article is such bullshite. They are shaming her because the restaurant happens to carry expensive wine, wine I might add she didn’t have for her event.
This is a Sanders hit piece.

She wooed them? Or woo-wooed then?

These candidates deserve this for the pandering they do and demonizing people who can afford expensive wine as if they are all the scum of the planet. The reality is they are the ones with the most skin in the game because they pay 90% of our nation's taxes so why wouldn't they want a say in who is running the nation?

AOC bitching as well but not acknowledging she took a large donation from billionaires

She's "learned from this".
Her time won't be bought anymore. But she will keep that money

Trying to get revenge on the white man by exposing him to alcohol.

Not only is she a fraud, but she looks like she would smell like stale urine.

Her smoke signal to English translation service is really picking up steam.

Did she serve the wine out of a Tee-Pee?

I don’t know who these people think they are fooling.
It takes big money to fund a campaign. If she just came out and said, “yes I have to kiss some big money arse because campaigns cost a lot”
At least I could respect the honesty.

Boasting $6600 wines
As if this is any great achievement. I’ve paid exorbitant retail prices for swill on many occasions (dont ask). Overpriced drinks are hardly something to brag about.

I watched her rally a day or two in OKC on my wife's Facebook Live. There were literally hordes of tens of communist supporters there. Tens!
The comments section was absolutely fricking brutal and hysterical. We Okies don't take lightly to communist filth spreading their lies, vitriol and propaganda on our soil.
I have no idea why she even wasted time or money stopping here. If Trump came to do a rally here, he'd fill the Chesapeake or the BOK and there'd still be thousands upon thousands standing outside.
But, I digress...
frick Fauxcahontas. Trump can count on Oklahoma's electoral votes once again. All 77 counties will be red again in 2020.

This is stupid
Just because there is something that expensive on the menu it doesn't mean the guests were offered that
