Democratic supporters on Thursday forked out up to half a million each to attend a fundraiser with President Joe Biden and former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton in New York ― but Jordan Klepper said that’s a waste of good money.
“Guys, I’m sorry. This just feels gross. $500,000 for access to a president? That’s not how democracy should work,” the “Daily Show” correspondent said. “Save that money for a Supreme Court justice.”
Klepper didn’t mention Clarence Thomas by name, but a pic of the associate justice appeared on the screen as he spoke.
“Much better bang for your buck,” Klepper said. “Be smart. Shell out for an RV and a jet ski and you’re there.”
