Lauren Windsor is a documentary filmmaker and executive producer of the grassroots political show The Undercurrent, who posed as a conservative activist at the gala. She used her own name to access the event.

Lmao, incredible event security. I’m pretty sure I’ve been to drag shows with more screening.

Alito being a piece of shit shouldn’t be news to anyone (although it’s always nice to have corroborating evidence of course), what’s shocking to me is that it only costs $500 to get within spitting distance of a SCOTUS judge.

That's like half of the "allure" of the Federalist Society: access to powerful people and financiers

Lmao, incredible event security.

What security? All they cared about is money. Anybody who paid their $500 got access.

I mean I assume they had like metal detectors and stuff. You probably can't pay $500 to go to a fancy dinner and just shoot a supreme Court justice. Right? Someone would've already done that.

Why face consequences for behavior someone else noticed?

Call Bobloblaw now!

She was great, but that interviewer was pretty terrible.

Alito is a waste of skin, but secretly recording him yeah yeahing that crazy bullshit makes me feel sorry for him.

Yeah, poor guy. If only he were in a position of power high enough to feel comfortable saying the bullshit is crazy. Poor fella, just a low-level government employee caught in an awkward conversation.
