Elizabeth Warren held a swanky fundraiser at a winery in Boston in June 2018, new reports revealed over the weekend, raising questions over her criticism of her fellow Democratic presidential candidate's fundraiser at a wine cave.
Just a few months before announcing her candidacy for president and about two years before she called out South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg for his fundraiser Warren held an event at City Winery Boston that gave the VIP experience to donors who gave $2,700.
'Billionaires in wine caves should not pick the next president of the United States,' Warren shot at Buttigieg during the sixth Democratic primary debate on Thursday in a reference to his fundraiser last weekend in Napa Valley, California.
'Think about who comes to that,' Warren continued of the 'wine cave' fundraiser. 'We made the decision many years ago that rich people in smoke-filled rooms would not pick the next president of the United States.'
'I do not sell access to my time,' she asserted.
The new revelations, however, show that Warren charged just $1,000 less for tickets to her winery fundraiser in 2018 than Buttigieg's $2,800 tickets a year-and-a-half later.
Warren's fundraiser featured a performance from singer Melissa Etheridge and offered souvenir wine bottles for $1,000 donors, Fox News reported, while bottles of wine at Buttigieg's campaign ran as high as $900.
Buttigieg called out Warren during the debate at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California, claiming correctly, it now appears that she wouldn't be able to pass her own purity test.
'Your presidential campaign right now as we speak is funded in part by money you transferred having raised it at those exact same big-ticket fundraisers you now denounce,' Buttigieg shot back. 'Did it corrupt you, Senator? Of course not,.'

Lieawatha, like all commies, have NO shame. It is their only super power.
She may not drink it .. but she sure w(h)ines a lot regardless.

Looking back on jerks I have known over the years, I’d agree with you that shamelessness is a sort of superpower.
What astounds me, is that this habitual liar and unquestionably stupid creature has any following at all!!
She sure has the misrepresentation thing down pat.
Sociopath.
Give her a beer.
This is what politics is about. Complete meaningless bullsh_t.
In this day when not even the smallest event or fart in the wind goes unrecorded, these nitwits still think that nobody will ever bring up their lies, indiscretions, or self-righteous proclamations about others.
Does she expect us to believe she collected ethical beads while attending tepee parties?
Complete with souvenir wine bottle. Owned!
Perhaps 2% of people who saw Pocohontas savage Buttplug will hear about this.
Pocahonkey just can’t stop lying.

Democrats just “say stuff”.
If it sounds good in the moment, they just go with it.
Truth and accuracy are not part of that calculation. And the “fact checkers” can generally be relied upon to say “that’s been debunked” if it looks like anything might really blow up in the face of a Democrat.
Hey communist voters who believe that any of the communists (er Democrat?) party candidates are going to do anything to punish those rich people you hate so much for having achieved something.. do you see it?
Rich people are needed and not all crooks, get with the program, vote Trump 2020!
Just one sip of that Thunderbird
Drives your blues away.
You'll dig that word, you'll dig that bird,
And you'll be happy all the day.
She will say she was just a Roadie.
