The multimillionaire Ford brothers who inherited their fortunes and the political niche carved out by their late father are the definition of social elites yet their unwavering supporters eat it up when the brothers slag the lowly rank and file proletariats at the Star and G&M as the sleazy elite.

It’s rich that guys who are in a position to gift Cadillac Escalades to family members are throwing the word elite around as an attack and insult. If these two didn’t inherit millions and their late father’s name and network of connections, they would probably be in the gutter or dead by now.
