A billionaire California Democrat gubernatorial candidate is getting blown up online after posing in a very ironic t-shirt with his fellow socialists.
On Saturday, Tom Steyer uploaded a video on his X page showing him at a “May Day” protest where he attempts to portray himself as a traitor to his class and a ‘champion’ of ordinary Californians. He even poses in a “Workers Over Billionaires” shirt.
Does he not realize that these people want to see folks like him eliminated?
“Today is May Day…Today is the day where we celebrate the working people of California, the people who make California run,” Steyer says in the video. “And their rights are being trampled on!”
A woman then asks if he’s planning on redistributing his wealth, to which Steyer replies, “Yes, I am!”
Steyer goes on to say that his campaign is about standing up for working Californians against “corporate special interests,” before cutting to him taking photo-ops with Marxist protesters while still wearing the stupid shirt.
WATCH:
California was built by working people.
This campaign has always been about standing up to corporations that put profit ahead of people.
There’s strength in numbers—and enough of us to win. pic.twitter.com/huyUhxJmm4

X users were quick to notice the glaring irony of Steyer in a “Workers Over Billionaires” t-shirt and destroyed him in the comments:
I really thought that Democrats did not like billionaires? Since this is your only choice because of your belief as a democrat, you are willing to lower yourselves.

TOM OLIGARCH: this is not a good look for you. It does not go with your resume. It’s one thing to support working Americans. It’s another thing to look like you’re pandering with a red shirt that says Workers Over Billionaires – you’re a billionaire.

Built by working people but you exploited them and became a billionaire. Now you’re ashamed and want to give everything away for free on the taxpayers dime. Make it make sense!

How exactly did you become a billionaire? What kind of work did you do? Why don’t you withdraw in favor of some working class candidate?

You got to be kidding. Didn’t you get wealthy off being a capitalist??? So now that you made your billions you are claiming to go after other capitalists? 😆 The jokes write themselves!
