Liberal megadonor celebrates Mother’s Day with warning not to let your kids become Nazis
Liberal megadonor Tom Steyer wants to wish you a happy Mother’s Day, with a gentle reminder — don't let your kids become Nazis.
In a wild ad posted to YouTube this week, Steyer’s SuperPAC, NextGen America, warns that mom’s large adult son could very well be sliding past the Republican party and into white nationalism.
It's certainly on brand for Steyer, who has funneled tons of money into inflammatory anti-Trump ads, including a $20 million series he ran last year calling for Trump’s impeachment.
“I started noticing some issues with him, maybe in middle school,” an actor playing mom says as Steyer's ad opens. A senior yearbook photo of her troglodyte kid flashes across the screen. His senior quote, under the photo, reads “Go back to where you came from,” attributed to “Me.”
“The stealing started out small, a few dollars here and there, but not from me, oddly enough, but from less fortunate kids,” the actor continues.
NextGen says the inflammatory ad won’t air on TV, and the org spent less than $3,000 promoting it on social media to very targeted audiences. NextGen promotes a slate of progressive issues, from climate change action to fighting inequality to voter registration, and their coffers are huge. Steyer made his money in hedge funds, and Forbes, for what it's worth, estimates that he’s worth $1.6 billion.
“Only a mother can catch the signs early,” she warns. “This Mother’s Day, talk to your child about the GOP.”
“I wish I had,” she says, looking wistfully at an old framed photograph of her son.
