Jane Lynch Is Getting Roasted For Defending Billionaires In Wine Caves
The previously universally beloved Jane Lynch is discovering that universal belovedness is cheap when venturing into the hellish toilet landscape that is politics on Twitter. Jane Lynch defended rich people in a tweet after this week’s Democratic presidential debate featured candidate Elizabeth Warren going after her fellow candidate Pete Buttigieg for holding a fundraiser in a Napa Valley “wine cave.” This provoked tweets dragging Jane for defending billionaires and comparing her to her high society character on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. But what I’m wondering is, are there BEER CAVERNS, too? Who has those? Can I go there? Are there tours?
In case you missed it, here’s Warren going after Mayor Pete over toasting with billionaires in a lavish wine cave:

The wine cave is part of the Napa Valley winery HALL Rutherford, which belongs to billionaires Craig and Kathryn Hall, and this is what it looks like:
“I’m just a pawn here,” said the owner of the wine cave that sparked a clash between Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg at the Democratic debate. “They’re making me out to be something that’s not true. And they picked the wrong pawn. It’s just not fair.” https://t.co/qoXS76pheh

After Lizzy Warren shamed Petey B. for cozying up to monied people in their wine caves, Jane opined on Twitter that rich people have the right to vote, too. Oh, Jane, that’s true but read the room, girl, and that’s not what Lizzy was talking about.
Hello everyone. Billionaires in wine caves have as much right to say who gets to be president as waitresses in diners and plumbers in my bathroom. Class warfare is ugly, @ewarren Thanks for listening everyone.

Hopefully, Jane asked her plumber if it was ok if she used them as an example because that’s just rude if she didn’t. On Maisel, Jane plays a crass housewife comedienne character who is actually a rich Manhattan high society gal in a fat suit, so Jane’s critics immediately decided that she’s playing herself.
“Plumbers in my bathroom” She went full Sophie Lennon https://t.co/BP20K7lWAB

Jane replied to her naysayers with some snark.
And the dying embers of what was the wine cave meme is gently blown back to life.

And you can imagine the response to THAT tweet.
Name a plumber or a diner waitress.

Do you actually HEAR the sound of whooshing air when you miss points this poorly?

You kno @ewarren was not saying billionaires can’t vote!! Don’t be silly She was saying that not only do they have a vote they can also BUY the Presidency (or other Political offices) and you just defended that Jane!

It would be super nice (though admittedly naive) if the Dems or anyone stopped fighting and got their shit together and put up a candidate who could bring the current reign of stupid to an end, but that’s a wispy daydream. Back to the real issues – in a wine cave, can you just hold your mouth open under a stalactite and it will drip wine into your maw? Are they that magical?
