So which is it? Hillary Clinton, on the stump, telling voters she cares about the little guy, or Hillary Clinton at an intimate gathering that charges $50,000 per plate? As a subhed in Wednesday’s Washington Post put it, “High-dollar fundraisers contrast with promise to help middle class.”
Post reporters Matea Gold and John Wagner go on to detail a Clinton event in Cape Cod last Sunday at the home of Democratic activist Elaine Schuster. “The price of entry to see Hillary Clinton on Sunday evening was $50,000 per person, a sum that got you an al fresco meal of tomato and mozzarella salad, lobster, strawberry shortcake and an intimate conversation with the possible next president of the United States.” With 28 guests in attendance, the candidate netted $1.4 million.
