Some reactions to desiccated plutocrat Stephen Ross, the billionaire owner of the Miami Dolphins and Equinox and SoulCycle, who is hosting a $250,000 a plate fundraiser for bigot and demagogue Donald "Rump" Trump in the Hamptons. Ross claimed to like Trump's tax cuts, but wasn't on board with Trump's other, er, "baggage."
The fact that the SoulCycle Billionaire guy, under pressure, wants to explain that he supports Trump for the tax cuts and not for the racism is actually a clarifying and important moment about what’s really happening in America.— Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias) August 7, 2019

Stephen Ross—The owner of @soulcycle —says “he has always been an outspoken champion of racial equality, inclusion diversity and environmental sustainability” but is hosting a fundraiser for Trump who stands against all those things. Literally-a nonsensical statement from Ross.— Soledad O'Brien (@soledadobrien) August 7, 2019
“I’m voting for the tax cuts not the racism” isn’t a thing. It’s a package deal.— Adam Serwer🍝 (@AdamSerwer) August 7, 2019

Hey @Equinox - what’s your policy for canceling memberships once a member finds out your owner is enabling racism and mass murder?— billy eichner (@billyeichner) August 7, 2019
