I heard she fought that camel to a majority decision.

The next time she tries to relate to me I'll have to remember that she needed 9 luxury suites of the Ayadina Riad while my wedding night was spent at the Hampton Inn on Douglas Pike. Thank goodness I married a low-maintenance woman.

The closest I'll come to being sad election season is almost over is the brief moment where I realized that if we had another week or two, we would definitely be getting a leaked voicemail of Ashley Kalus threatening to be beat the shit out of a wedding planner if they don't take this post down.

So she went to the London school of economics and toured Africa for her honeymoon. This makes her sound pretty intelligent and well rounded. Now I like her even more, thanks.

But she said last night she knows how hard it is to pay the bills! Ya, OK. 🙄

Lolllllll imagine thinking that having a super-expensive weeklong wedding on a different continent would make someone a better RI governor.

You people are like babies, grasping onto whatever comes by.

>The couple fell in love over their passion for travel and adventure

"Travel and adventure" sounds about right

Says the person on Medicaid. Do you really think Republicans want to provide you with healthcare? Lol

do you think democrats will? LMFAO

I’m glad it’s that simple for you.

New to Rhode Island so I googled her name. Her “rags to riches” story that ends with her riches with her marriage was of interest. Then the articles about the nasty text exchanges between her and a contractor seemed at odds with her professed caring for all…

And she took a course..Jeebus

Yeah..some people just can't connect obvious dots.

Revisionist history is another service the GOP offers.

Who cares?

Now do Magaziners wealth

I believe this because she has a commercial where she proudly beats her kid up with boxing gloves.

Why does it matter how she got married?

Edit: I have no political affiliation just genuinely curious don’t downvote me for asking questions

I voted early and voted McKee, but I didn’t automatically write her off because she has an R next to her name or because she had an expensive wedding. Like you, I genuinely have no idea why this would matter or why people would make fun of her for it.

I think some people, particularly those on Reddit, just like to hate on everyone who’s more well off than they are (i.e. almost everyone).

Wedding Supper Menu Amuse Bouche of Smoked Salmon Mezze of Moroccan salads Individual tajine of Slow Roast Lamb with fennel and confit tomatoes Dessert Buffet (served in Dining room) Tea and Coffee served with Moroccan pastries Chocolate tiered wedding cake with Champagne

Lookup "hypocrite" in the dictionary.

The Republican smear campaign is taking care of that

Where did I say I thought democrats were going to win? There’s a huge chance the republicans will take congress. Which leads me back to my Medicaid comment. The previous person recently asked a question about their Medicaid benefits, which is something that the Republicans continue to try to dissolve. I know this because I work in a pharmacy and watch people make life making decisions about their meds or eating and living. I hope that in the future you never have to rely on anything other than what you can earn. If you’re choosing a party solely because they have a better chance of winning, that’s really sad.

Yeah it’s DEFINITELY the democrats who are coming for your Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security, ok buddy

Plus, is there an attempt to cover up the lavish wedding now?

Seeing how the GOPs current strategy is photoshopping Seth Magaziner into photos of rich people drinking champagne, it rings hollow that she was able to afford a 6 figure wedding.

So what? It’s friggin camels. Is that all you’ve got?? We will see on Tuesday!

It doesn't. But did she have the site scrubbed to hide it?

Lol they changed the names and the date. Foundation of lies, lovely.

Yea I see this but, if you look at the archived article… there’s nothing wrong except her just spending absurd amounts of money like anyone else would on their wedding day of given the chance. I feel she may have done this to avoid people nitpicking like this and continuing the narrative- she’s just another rich lady with no interest in bettering the state- at least that’s what I’ve heard from SOME in this sub and online.

Or maybe she just didn’t like her wedding being put out there so publicly.

I don’t know just seems like an irrelevant point to me.

edit: if you look at the very first article it also has a tweet reply that says “this isn’t going to be very appealing to working class voters.” That reply is from January 2022. I wonder when they edited this article.

I bet McKee is able to as well. I mean he can afford to run for office so. Maybe he doesn’t flaunt it but he’s definitely got it.

Any chance she can prove she's a fighter she will. Just like when she kicked that pregnant woman.

It's also the height of hypocrisy for the party that has gone down on the business/1%er communities for decades to be slamming Magaziner for having money. But hypocrisy is one of the few things Republicans have to offer. Treason is another.

Looking at your screen name, I can see why you'd like Ashley...she's a transplant too. Bet you've been here longer though.

You know she isn’t running against magaziner right

I don’t have a problem with people having money. Most people who have the time and resources to run for office probably will. It’s just weird that her campaign calling him out for being rich when she’s not exactly poor.

Right? Kalus campaign must have had a hand in this.

We saw

Why don’t you look into why she obviously has had her internet history stripped? Multiple search engines find next to NOTHING about her before early 2022. Especially nothing prior to 2020.

No high school or grade school photos. No statements from old friends about what a great gal she is. No comments from longtime employees or business partners about her talents. Digging in Newpapers.com it seems she and/or parents lived in scituate, cohasset, and ? Maybe san diego. She’s like a phantom.

I smell a grifter and a carpetbagger.

Also, I searched the FEC site for donations by either her or her husband to ANY candidates for federal office back to 2015– I found NOTHING except 2022 donations to Alan Fung.

She worked for Illinois governor Bruce Rauner. Why isn’t she highlighting that? Anything to do with the $1 million fine his campaign was hit with for illegal calls?

“Ashley Kalus, Coalitions Coordinator

Ashley Kalus most recently served as Coalitions Coordinator for Citizens for Rauner, Inc. Before joining Rauner, Ashley spent 5 years directing operations and strategy for a group of medical businesses, as well as leading an early stage medical device company.

She holds graduate degrees from the London School of Economics and Columbia University in public administration with a focus on economic and security policy.”
