Democrats must be getting desperate ahead of the midterm elections, because they are allowing actress Gwyneth Paltrow to throw a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee.
Paltrow will host a dinner and reception Thursday at her Los Angeles home to fundraise for the DNC, reports Party Time. President Obama will make an extra special appearance, his second time attending a party thrown by Paltrow for him and his allies.
Tickets for the event are priced between $1,000 and $32,400, meaning most of the partygoers will likely be Hollywood and Washington elite. That’s probably for the best, considering Paltrow has a habit of offending working moms and pretty much all Americans who are thrown off by her snobby attitude.
During a March interview, Paltrow suggested that she as an actress — who has a rumored net worth of $140 million — has it harder than moms who have “regular” 9-to-5 jobs.
“I think it’s different when you have an office job, because it’s routine and, you know, you can do all the stuff in the morning and then you come home in the evening,” Paltrow told E! News. “When you’re shooting a movie, they’re like, ‘We need you to go to Wisconsin for two weeks,’ and then you work 14 hours a day and that part of it is very difficult. I think to have a regular job and be a mom is not as, of course there are challenges, but it’s not like being on set.”
And, working moms aren’t the only Americans Paltrow has offended. In May, Paltrow compared receiving mean comments on the Internet to experiencing war.
The McCains — along with any other individuals with connections to the military — were extremely angered by the comment. Both Cindy and Meghan McCain took to social media to express their discontent with the actress.
Her most recent foot-in-mouth moment came in last week’s newsletter for her website Goop in which she cluelessly suggested that all Americans should spend half their days just relaxing, as if bills, jobs and responsibilities didn’t exist.
“We should spend half of our day simply existing — taking long meals with loved ones, walking, relaxing, and connecting,” read the newsletter. “The BEING is where the self-love and deep gratitude lives.”
Well, Paltrow’s fundraiser is certainly not the way for the Democrats to win over the middle class.
