    This is true. My dad drove a cab, my mom cleaned hospital linen. Yet I'm constantly being lectured to about what the working class really wants by guys who went to private schools and have trust funds. It's a little annoying.https://twitter.com/DavidAstinWalsh/status/1461400641381744643 …

    I’ll never get over how so many of the most prominent class whisperers grew up in Bethesda, Cambridge, or Hyde Park.

        A little annoying? It's infuriating.

        It certainly explains their “Just do popular stuff and people will love you” argument.

        This is John N Kennedy, R-La who is one of those Oxford educated men. Kennedy would have you believe he's just a regular guy with his "folksy" style. This is Kennedy on July 3, one of the Russian 8, waiting to shake hands with the Russian prime minister.pic.twitter.com/XtRcme2QQb

        With this logic doesn't it follow that it's annoying to hear what you say about what the working class wants?https://twitter.com/sishaaver/status/1105533403443679232?s=20 …

        You should ask those folks to describe what the working class they are talking about are like. I suspect the answers would be revealing.
