At a private meeting of wealthy liberals here last week, a handful of young conservatives stalked the lobby of the Ritz-Carlton hoping to catch Democrats in potentially damaging moments.
Except, candidates weren’t the only ones being hunted.
They were also after big donors, including Jonathan Soros and Tom Steyer, whose photos were among those they studied before arriving at the annual spring meeting of the Democracy Alliance, a club of rich liberals….
“Have you found the conspiracy?” Michael Vachon, an aide to billionaire financier George Soros, said he asked Free Beacon reporters Lachlan Markay and Alana Goodman after approaching their table at the hotel lobby bar.
The Beacon may have gotten the last laugh, though, publishing a story Monday based on a document Markay wrote that he found “on the floor of a publicly accessible area of the conference,” listing new members of the secretive group including real estate heiress Amy Goldman and Philip Munger, son of a top Berkshire Hathaway executive.
