Democrat billionaire Tom Steyer is drawing fire after appearing at a May Day rally in East San Jose alongside a well-known labor leader, where he was labeled a “class traitor,” and embraced for it.
Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, president of the California Federation of Labor, highlighted the moment on X, writing: “When @TomSteyer shows up to your ‘Workers Over Billionaires’ May Day Rally in East San Jose, you ask him to wear the shirt. And he does! #ClassTraitor.”
The optics of a billionaire donning anti-billionaire messaging quickly ignited criticism online, with detractors blasting both Steyer and organized labor for what they see as political opportunism.
Some users pointed to Steyer’s failed 2020 Democratic presidential bid, noting he “wasted millions of dollars and couldn’t last one presidential democrat primary in South Carolina,” adding that he dropped out before Pete Buttigieg and Kamala Harris.
Others accused him of trying to “buy his way into political office” and suggested labor groups were aligning with him for financial backing.
Critics also questioned his policy positions, claiming he has reversed course on single-payer healthcare and warn his leadership could worsen California’s high costs.
One commenter dismissed the rally moment as empty symbolism: “putting on a slogan shirt is all it takes to fool you.”
The backlash comes as progressive group Our Revolution, founded by Sen. Bernie Sanders, endorsed Steyer’s gubernatorial bid despite its anti-billionaire stance.
The organization defended the move, stating on its website: “Yes, Tom Steyer is a billionaire. But it matters what he is doing with that power.”
Another user commented on the departure of wealthy residents from California, posing the question, “Where are the workers supposed to work with all the billionaires fleeing the state?”
Meanwhile, Steyer’s campaign is facing resistance from corporate interests.

It would appear the Democrats are made up of complete frauds.
You have fake Indian who is a senator from Massachusetts
A fake war hero who is a senator from Connecticut
A billionaire portraying himself as a blue-collar worker
A man with a Nazi tattoo running for Senator in Maine while calling Trump a Nazi
A now deceased Senator from West Virginia who was in the KKK
These are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head giving it little to no thought.
And 3 harridans named Whoopi, Joy and Sunny paid millions to spout venom and bad advice.
GREAT examples.
LOL!
Just when you think stupid can’t get any stupider
Their billionaires are good, ours are evil
Decraprio can fly thousands of miles in a private jet to accept his “I love the planet more than you swine” and that is good.
Sanders can own multiple homes, but he is a good socialist
Sunny/ Whoopi can be worth millions, but being a black woman in USA is “hard”.
After the event he threw the shirt in the trash, got on his private jet and flew to his private airport to take his limousine to his mega yacht…😎
One more, a Reverend without a church.
“putting on a slogan shirt is all it takes to fool you.”
Yep! Hence the article.
Tom, I'll support your candidacy when you give your billions to the Federal government to pare down the debt. Also, after you ask Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Bernie Sanders to do the same.
Then I'll believe that you will help the poor, but like most rich people, you don't care about the poor or middle class, you care about the ELITES!!
A member of congress from (Maryland?) pretending to be a woman.
They only have one goal and that is power by any means necessary. Everything else can be ignored if it serves that goal. It’s amusing when some in their ranks try to be principled.
Zorro is needed to save California from the likes of Tom Steyer or his Republican counterpart
“Where are the workers supposed to work with all the billionaires fleeing the state?”
The side of the story communists won’t answer they know but you don’t comrades.
We have labor camps for people asking such questions like that.
Dont forget the somalian millionaire, that married her bro to become a citizen, who facilitated billions of ….. get ready for it…. fraud
Did these folks wonder how American “workers” lives might get better without massive illegal immigration?
All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.
And Caesar played gladiator.
Tyrants always attracted to controlling the narrative.
THEY NEVER QUITE FIGURE OUT WHO SIGNS THE WORKERS CHECKS——
ELON MUSK SIGNS THOUSANDS OF ‘WORKERS” PAYCHECKS.
OVER 12,000 AT HIS OPERATIONS 23 MILES FROM ME.
