Penn State ‘Progressives’ Denounce Steep Ticket Prices for Chelsea Clinton Campaign Event
heatst.com ^ | 9/8/2016 | Andrew Stiles

College Progressives at Penn State University were not happy with the steep entry price to a “Conversation with Chelsea” event featuring former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton, the least successful member of the Clinton political dynasty.

The event, which took place Wednesday in State College, Pa., charged $500 just to get in the door, and $1,000 for a photo with Chelsea. For $2,700, attendees would be granted access to a special reception with the guest of honor.

College Progressives at Penn State really wanted to be a part of the so-called “conversation,” but quite rightly noted that $500 was a hefty price that would exclude many college students from attending.

“Although we certainly support Chelsea’s right to campaign on her mother’s behalf, we do not agree with Mrs. Clinton choosing to make this ‘conversation’ available exclusively to individuals who can afford or are willing to pay at least $500,” said Ethan Paul, vice president of College Progressives of Penn State. “It is particularly deplorable that a $2,700 donation—the legal limit—gets a personal conversation with Mrs. Clinton.”

Others agreed. College Progressive Secretary Kathryn Van Develde said “putting such an expensive price on involvement in elections really hurts college students who already feel there is no point to politics.”

Seriously? Who in their right mind would pay that kind of money to sit around to do a meet and greet with chelsea..................oh. Never mind. Progressives are NOT in their right mind. Ol' scupper lip may be the least successful of the 3 but I'll bet her bank account for "incidentals" from the clintoon crime foundation is purty durn successful. Admin costs you know.

Sill progs. This is only a fraction of what they will have to pay to rent the Lincoln bedroom or gain access to the elected Clintons.

Didn't they learn anything from the last go-round?

They’ll eventually have to “paper” the event and all these stupid kids will get in for free. They should have some patience.

Hey, it’s expensive to replace all those broken lenses after photographing Chelsea.

No, it was a grand for a photo op. Keeps the roaches out of the kitchen.

If Joe Paterno had endorsed the idea, it would be.

I don’t get. Even $2,700 isn’t enough to buy any type of influence from the Clintons. Last I saw the Clintons price tag starts at $100,000.

Maybe that explains why Crooked’s rallies have low attendance. The true believers can’t afford the entrance fee.

No, $500 just to attend. The pic is an extra $1,000, and for the privilege of talking to Web's kid it's $2,700.

Don’t they know that to be able to see Webb Hubbell’s kid they have to pay up?

She’s part of the Clinton Crime Family (even if she is Webb Hubbell’s kid)

I'll pass. And you can keep your $1,000.

Translation: You couldn't pay me enough to be in a photo op with any of the Clintons.

Most normal people would laugh as the Clinton Crime Syndicate’s shamelessly tries to hold up Bernie’s supporters after threatening Bernie! But we are talking about the most gullible, naive generation ever to survive without custodial care in this country’s history. We have no chance to thrive when the future is in such needy, myopic hands.
