A millionaire Silicon Valley titan has launched a bid for Nancy Pelosi’s congressional seat — with the backing of a famous drag queen.
Saikat Chakrabarti, 40, shared video of “Peaches Christ” endorsing him on social media on Friday after he announced his intention to run.
In the footage, she says: “San Francisco has a rare opportunity right now. This congressional race will decide whether we keep accepting business as usual or whether we send someone to Washington willing to actually challenge the systems that created the crises we’re living through.”
They laughed and smiled their way through the event, where they revealed plans for an April 4 Drag Me To Vote meet in San Francisco.
But they received a swift backlash online, with many pondering whether Chakrabarti — controversial congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s former chief of staff — was taking it seriously.
One wrote: “Dude what is this? no one is forcing you to do this? just focus on affordability please.”
Another posted: “Nothing like being dragged to back a billionaire when there is another option who is not a billionaire or a billionaire’s bro.
“Vote Connie Chan. Also, why aren’t y’all supporting the woman of color whose running who is also backed by labor? What is your class analysis here?”

This guy is that wealthy, but he worked as AOC’s chief of staff? Does not compute.
I don’t know which clown will win Nancy P’s seat, but I say with the McGlaughlin Group used to call “metaphysical certainty” that whoever wins the seat will be a total loser.
He’s some kind of Indian tech bro who made a lot of money and then “retired” to get involved with politics as a staffer for Bernie and AOC


$167 million
Saikat Chakrabarti’s net worth is estimated to be at least $167 million, primarily derived from his role as a founding engineer at Stripe, where he played a crucial role in the company’s development. His wealth has significantly contributed to his political career, particularly as he has been involved in various progressive initiatives and campaigns.
He’s disqualifying himself, due to very poor political judgement. Doesn’t he realize how this photo endorsement makes him look ridiculous? Stay in your lane. Son!
Yeah
But he’s courting the San Francisco Democrat voters, so...
😀😂🤣🤣🤣🙃
He is the anti grist of the Demoncrap Partay:
“Peaches Christ”?
Really?
Just begging for it.
Hell is empty and all the devils are here.
My first pix of the day. that’ll delay breakfast!
... controller ...
For me that computes just fine.
And there's nothing "bizarre" about getting the drag queen endorsement when running for congress in that particular district.
OK. That such a district exists at all is bizarre. { snicker }
(“Peaches Christ”)
Another Public Mockery of Almighty God and
specifically the Lord Jesus Christ it appears
And the Godless Reprobate Democrat Goats 🐐🐐🐐
are right there, doing Satan’s Destructive Works
As it was in the Days of Lot....
