“I am the daughter of farmers,” she said. “You are a billionaire. We have nothing in common.”
“Perhaps we do,” murmured her New Yorker antagonist.
“What?” blustered Porter.
“We are,” responded Steyer, “both traitors to our class.”

Tom Steyer and Katie Porter going at it. She's failing at trying to use his class against him.

JUST FYI
Jim Jones, the leader of the Peoples Temple, repeatedly staged fake assassination attempts on himself as a deliberate tactic to manipulate his cult followers.
Jones used these staged events habitually to maintain a siege mentality. They included phony gunfire during services, claims of attacks by outsiders (government, media, defectors, etc.), and at least one incident where he simulated being shot using fake blood and holes in his shirt. He then disappeared briefly, to "heal" himself.
Make of that what you will, but that sure sounds familiar.
