A host of Democrats who, in recent months, criticized Republicans as being out of touch have themselves traveled to exclusive ski resorts to schmooze donors, an experience out of reach for many Americans, all using their campaign cash.
These Democrats, who have been quick in recent months to deride Republicans for what they see as throwing aside the working class to benefit the rich, descended on the swanky Colorado resort town of Vail between January 2024 and April of this year to wine and dine wealthy donors — spending over $100,000 in the process. This year alone, just 10 Democrats have spent north of $70,000 on travel and lodging in the mountain resort town, with many making statements after the fact, accusing their Republican colleagues of being “out of touch” with the experiences of everyday Americans.
