Summary
$500-to-$27,000 tickets were offered at a Manhattan fundraiser Monday night headlined by Democratic Senate candidates Sherrod Brown and James Talarico, according to an invitation cited by the Washington Free Beacon.
Alexis Bittar, the celebrity jeweler who hosted the event, is drawing attention for past remarks calling the United States a "sh--hole" and the American flag "a symbol of aggression."
Robert De Niro was also listed as a host, and Bittar has recently backed other progressive Democrats, including Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani's transition effort.
Talarico's campaign declined to comment on the fundraiser, while Brown and Bittar did not respond to requests for comment.
