Democrat governors, many believed to be vying for the party’s 2028 presidential nomination, gathered on Thursday for a pricey Los Angeles fundraising event.

The private gathering — where tickets cost as much as $100K a pop — was attended by top party members like Gov. Gavin Newsom, Arizona’s Gov. Katie Hobbs, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, among others, the LA Times reported.

A ticket to attend the event, closed to the press, cost anywhere from $45,000 up to $100,00, with the money going to the Democrat Governors Association (DGA). The evening was expected to rake in $1.5 million dollars for the DGA, with around 45 donors in attendance.

Also in attendance was chair of the DGA Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear. Beshar, Whitmer, and Newsom are all believed to be interested in running for president in the 2028 election.

The latest FEC numbers posted Monday, show MAGA has nearly 900million and rodents have less that 300 million - DNC owes 18 million.
So let Hollywood throw their money into the fire pit.
Oh and Surrender Monkeys take note the latest generic poll has Republicans plus 4.

I hope someone secretly recorded the confab and that it leaks.

The dems are slipping into full eat the rich mode.

The governors in attendance undoubtedly assured the attendees that, while they might campaign for expropriation and gulags, they will find a way to exempt those who pay up. They’ll have honored places in the nomenklatura.

And they probably assurred the attendees that they will be able to control the jacobins.

The democrat party's funded by the 'MORE MONEY THAN BRAINS' types... especially those with full blown TDS... Good luck losers.

Why closed to the press? Are not these the most ardent, self-proclaimed, Defenders of Democracy? Shouldn't the people of America know what their great defenders are plotting...planning?

Clowns.

...The event was held at the upscale mansion owned by liquor heiress Ellen Bronfman Hauptman and husband Andrew Hauptman.

The Bronfman family is a Canadian family, known for its extensive business holdings. It owes its initial fame to Samuel Bronfman (1889–1971), the most influential Canadian Jew of the mid-20th century, who made a fortune in the alcoholic distilled beverage business during American prohibition, including the sale of liquor through organized crime, through founding the Seagram Company, and who later became president of the Canadian Jewish Congress (1939–62).

The family is of Russian-Jewish ancestry; the patriarch, Yechiel (Ekiel) Bronfman, was originally a tobacco farmer from Bessarabia. According to The New York Times staff reporter Nathaniel Popper, the Bronfman family is "perhaps the single largest force in the Jewish charitable world"...

The family settled at a homestead near Wapella, Saskatchewan, but soon moved to Brandon, Manitoba. In 1903, the family borrowed money to buy a hotel (the Anglo-American Hotel) in Emerson, Manitoba, which turned out to be profitable due to railway construction. In 1906, the family moved to Winnipeg. With the advent of Prohibition in Canada, Samuel and his brothers turned their energy toward selling mail-order liquor. Following the government's crack-down on the business, the brothers took another route: As it was still legal to sell alcohol as medicine, the brothers rebranded their liquor using names like "Liver & Kidney Cure", "Dandy Bracer-Liver", and "Rock-a-bye Cough-Cure". Samuel took control of the business after prohibition came to an end in the United States, and was known as "Mr. Sam".

Legend and rumor offers a different story... Apparently they started out as cattle and horse rustlers... When they came to town to sell their animals they noticed how good the hotel business was, but more importantly... How much liquor it sold.

When are Jewish Americans going to figure it out??? The Democrat party hates them with a passion, but they still end up supporting the Democrat party. It doesn't make sense.

Seagram's Liquor Heiress Clare Bronfman Pleads Guilty in Nxivm Sex-Cult.

wiki--NXIVM (pronounced NEX-i-um) was a criminal, cult-like organization disguised as a self-help program, operating under the guise of personal and professional development seminars (Executive Success Programs). Founded by Keith Raniere, it utilized psychological manipulation, blackmail, and a "master-slave" hierarchy (known as DOS) to exploit members, which included branding women and coercing them into sex trafficking.

Raniere, referred to by members as "Vanguard". He was convicted in 2019 of sex trafficking, racketeering, and other crimes, receiving 120 years in prison. Marketed as an empowerment program to promote better human functioning, attracting wealthy and famous individuals.

A secret "sorority" within the group called DOSS (Dominus Obsequious Sororium), meaning "Master Over Slave," where women were required to provide "collateral" (compromising personal information or photos) to join. Abuse and Coercion: Female members were coerced into sexual relationships with Raniere, and some were branded with his initials.

Key Participants: Actress Allison Mack (known for Smallville) pleaded guilty for her role in recruiting women into DOS and coercing them into service. Exposure: The group collapsed after major investigative reports in 2017–2018 exposed its practices, later documented in the series The Vow. BBC NXIVM's "training" involved intense "Executive Success Programs" which, despite appearing benign to newcomers, acted as a recruiting tool for the abusive inner circle. The organization functioned as a hierarchical pyramid scheme designed to control and exploit its members, say former students.

Actress Allison Mack sentenced to three years in prisonRaniere was found guilty of overseeing a "slave and master" system within the group. a sex-trafficking operation, a cult, and a sex cult In a 2010 Times Union article. The cultlike organization in which a harem of sexual “slaves” were branded with its founder's initials on their pelvises.
