You won’t believe who’s on the list! Just kidding, you definitely can.
Topping the list is no stranger to luxury:
Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) at $26.9 million.
Her private plane has been an ongoing issue and headache, but matters really took a tailspin when she said “normal people” can afford planes.
It’s no surprise she’s on this list seeing as her Washington, DC condo in luxurious CityCenter cost her a cool $2.7 million. It’s conveniently located near the restaurant she owns, Centrolina, where a bottle of wine can run you $350. That bottle of wine is pretty cheap compared to the local shopping like Hermes, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci – where just one bag could run you up to $10,000!
And the second wealthiest Senator running for re-election?
Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) at $3.3 million.
Sen. Manchin has tried to hide from his wealth and investments, but to no avail. After being named in a lawsuit when his hotel went bankrupt, Manchin has repeatedly changed his story:
- First he denied ownership of AA Property (despite listing it on his personal financial disclosure forms)
- Then he denied that AA owned Mountain Blue (despite him being listed as an owner on loan documents)
- Then he claimed it’s part of his blind trust (it’s not)
- Finally, he referred reporters to his attorney who said the whole thing was a big mistake
He’s also gone serious lengths to hide his campaign wealth. Despite his daughter’s company being his second-most donor, Sen. Manchin claimed he had “no idea” who his top donors are. One reason he may try and hide this donor is because that company is Mylan, famous infamous for price-gouging life-saving epipens and manufacturing Fentanyl – one of the most common drugs in overdose cases.
While Sen. McCaskill has no desire to hide her wealth, Sen. Manchin can’t seem to keep his under wraps – no matter how hard he tries.
However, they do have one thing in common. They both have managed to become so far removed from their state’s roots that voters won’t be fooled in November. These two senators are too out-of-touch to represent their red states.
Help us defeat these liberal elitist in November!
