Major Democrat Donor Stephen Cloobeck: If Dems Don’t Stop Class Warfare Rhetoric, ‘I’m Done’ [VIDEO]
The Politistick ^ | 11/07/2017 | Mathew K. Burke

Even as former DNC Chair Donna Brazile reveals deep-seated corruption within the Democrat Party, a liberal billionaire donor to the Democrat Party is fed up with the party’s strategy of continually using class warfare and class envy rhetoric and issued a major warning to Democrats across the country on Tuesday — if he hears the word “billionaire” one more time, he’s going to cut off their money.

Stephen Cloobeck, chairman and CEO of Diamond Resorts, a Las Vegas timeshare company, told MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle that the Democrat Party’s policy of punishing success is “so effin’ wrong.”

“When Democrats continue to say, ‘Down with the billionaires! We can’t stand the rich!’ a lot of people want to be rich,” Ruhle asked Cloobeck. “So is it the right message that the Democrats are going with?” she asked.

“It’s so effin’ wrong!”

“Whoa!” interrupted a stunned Ruhle.

“I’ve talked to Schumer, I’ve talked to Wyden, I’ve talked to Pelosi and I said, ‘If you use the term billionaires again, I’m done.’”

“Why?” a curious Ruhle inquired.

“Because it’s aspirational,” Cloobeck answered. “I didn’t start with anything. Just penalize everyone that’s done well? We all want to do well. And we should be the party of doing well. We should be a party of business and leadership. And it is very, very disturbing when I hear the ‘billionaire’ or ‘millionaire’ word. And I told them to stop it, knock it off. Because everyone wants to do really well. And this is the world of aspirations,” he said.

“And are you worried that the Democratic Party goes too far to the left?” Ruhle then asked.

“So much so it drives me nuts!” Cloobeck said with passion. “So much so it would make me quit the party. And I’ve made it very clear, I’ll cut your money off. And others will do the same. We’ve had enough,” he expressed.

I will believe it when I see it.

Democrats say a lot of things that they don’t mean to do.

Tired claims of "racism" and class warfare is all the communist democrat party has had to offer for decades.

They can't stop using them because that is all they have left; they have absolutely nothing to offer. Hence they habitually play the racist and class warfare cards.

I’m not surprised that the guy behind the idea of timeshares is a Democrat.

Yeah.

I remember all those losers promising to leave the country if Trump won.

They’re still here.

Go away already!

So, from now on, he will support RINOs who go along with tax cuts but are for homosexual “marriage” and adoption, abortion, socialized medicine, illegal immigration, and any number of other leftwing causes?

The Dems don’t mind billionaires at all, you never hear them bitching about Buffett, zuckerburg, or Soros. It’s White working class people they hate. I truly believe they would throw us in ovens if they could get away with it.

Here is a blog post about it, which requires a barf alert:

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2014/7/11/1313379/-About-that-Grigsby-tombstone-that-calls-Democrats-Traitors

The author of the blog post is an in-law of a descendant of N. Grigsby, the person over whose remains this gravestone stands. She repeats lies about the Republican party being racists that Dinesh d’Souza has researched and refuted in his recent book and movie Hlllary’s America.

Cloobeck answered. “I didn’t start with anything. Just penalize everyone that’s done well? We all want to do well.

And it is very, very disturbing when I hear the ‘billionaire’ or ‘millionaire’ word.

The Democrats vilify the rich. They tell the voter that no one gets rich unless they victimize someone.

The first thing that the Democrats did after Trump won the nomination is trot out stories of how Trump cheated contractors or tried to take somebodies land for development.

If you are in business long enough and are successful enough somebody is going to have a beef with you.

But on the whole if you are a successful business person you are going to make other businesses successful in the process. You are going to improve the lives of your employees and the employees of the businesses you do business with.

The Democrats attack the successful and prey upon them. The Democrats are the party of failure.

Cut off your money and their balls, NOW! Don’t talk about it. You’ll give them time to cover their Marxist asses and you’ll still pay them for it.

All talk and no game makes one a coward!

Thanks. That woman just writing her own history. Believe it or not, my government professor in college was peddling that same story about the republicans being former racist democrats.

Cloobeck, like most Americans, is sick of the left’s Alinsky tactics in government , the result is that nothing gets accomplished except the destruction of our Country, its institutions, values,economy , Constitution and security.

Cloobeck is absolutely correct, his name should be “Clue-back!”

Its bad news that soon the democraps will abandon their liberal fascism in droves, I was hoping they would ride it to oblivion.

Why are they leaving??

The news is out:
