Penn State ‘Progressives’ Denounce Steep Ticket Prices for Chelsea Clinton Campaign Event
heatst.com ^ | 9/8/2016 | Andrew Stiles

College Progressives at Penn State University were not happy with the steep entry price to a “Conversation with Chelsea” event featuring former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton, the least successful member of the Clinton political dynasty.

The event, which took place Wednesday in State College, Pa., charged $500 just to get in the door, and $1,000 for a photo with Chelsea. For $2,700, attendees would be granted access to a special reception with the guest of honor.

College Progressives at Penn State really wanted to be a part of the so-called “conversation,” but quite rightly noted that $500 was a hefty price that would exclude many college students from attending.

“Although we certainly support Chelsea’s right to campaign on her mother’s behalf, we do not agree with Mrs. Clinton choosing to make this ‘conversation’ available exclusively to individuals who can afford or are willing to pay at least $500,” said Ethan Paul, vice president of College Progressives of Penn State. “It is particularly deplorable that a $2,700 donation—the legal limit—gets a personal conversation with Mrs. Clinton.”

Others agreed. College Progressive Secretary Kathryn Van Develde said “putting such an expensive price on involvement in elections really hurts college students who already feel there is no point to politics.”

Say what you will about OSU excesses, but the folks in Columbus can’t even begin to compare to that Kool-Aid Drinking Cult they have up there in Happy Valley.

How could a rational person pay anything to see Chelsea? Seriously?

Call it a tax and they'll love it.
Just don't tell them it's a tax on stupid.

According to my sources, if those are Christian Louboutin shoes, the retail pricetag could potentially enable four people to attend!

Bill and Hill took Chelsea into “the family business” after her husband’s business failed.

It might be worth $500 for the chance to ask Chelsea a question. But not the kind of question the "Progressives" are likely to ask.

Something like, "Chelsea, I'm really worried about your mom. She's had coughing fits for a long time, she only seems to have enough energy to get out in public for an hour a day, she had that nasty concussion a few years ago, she has weird seizures, and doctors have publicly hypothesized Parkinson's disease. Aren't you worried about your children's grandmother?"

Hey you ‘Progressives’. The money is not going to Trump. It’s going to the spoiled mean vicious clone of hillary rodham clinton.

Unless you need their “help” then if you have enough it pays off 10 times over.

I’ll bet it was $500 to get in the door and a additional $1000 for the pic.

$500 to get in the door, $1000 for a pic with, $2700 to talk to her. I don't think they thought this through...

They'd have to pay me plenty to be in a picture with her.

They’d have to pay me to waste any time sitting around in “conversation” with Chelsea.

So. If you’re a serial rapist or a pederast or just overlook all that for a ‘loved one’ and you contribute some money to see this odd child without a brain speak some nonsense and pay or it, you’re golden then? Right?

Well then, I guess PSU is the right place to do it. They’ve got an excellent track record.

They certainly look like CLs. And, I imagine they are not her only pair.
