What they’re saying

“The leaked 2023 Bohemian Grove attendee list includes Paul Pelosi (venture capitalist, husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi) and Michael Bloomberg (former NYC mayor with Democratic roots). Historically, the club has leaned heavily Republican (e.g., Reagan, Nixon regulars), but it's never been strictly one-party—Democrat-linked figures like Chris Matthews have also spoken there. It's an elite networking spot open to influential men across affiliations.”
