OUTRAGEOUS: Senate Democrats Plan Luxury Retreat in California Wine Country DESPITE Government Shutdown

[Conservative Angle]

​

The government shutdown is officially in effect.

But, that’s not stopping Senate Democrats from quietly planning a luxury getaway to a 5-star resort in Napa Valley.

In just a few weeks time, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee will leave D.C. for a taxpayer-funded trip to California’s beautiful wine country.

Here are the details:

Democrats Plan Wine Country Getaway During Potential Government Shutdown

A government shutdown could be on the horizon. If it happens, Democrats have a plan: flee Washington and head to California wine country.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is hosting a “Napa Retreat” on October 13th and 14th, which would be during the second week of the shutdown. The swanky event will take place at Hotel Yountville, a luxury resort and spa that describes itself as a “vineyard estate-inspired retreat” which “extends a Tuscan-European vibe.”

“Sleep deeply always, in our luxurious accommodations. Soak in one of our oversized sunken tubs and find warmth by your private fieldstone fireplace,” the hotel’s website states. “Savor a meal at Heritage Oak Café, immerse yourself in our pool, or find repose at our distinguished spa. Hotel Yountville offers more than a Wine Country trip—it’s the luxury escape you didn’t know you needed…until now.”

It’s worth remembering that lawmakers do not lose pay during government shutdowns, meaning these Democrats would enjoy wine country’s “luxurious accommodations” while continuing to collect direct deposits of taxpayer dollars. Does that seem fair?

Isn’t that nice?

They certainly deserve the vacation, right?

Fox News reported on who will be attending this lovely and expensive retreat:

Attendees will include Gillibrand, Sen. Angela Alsobrooks and other Democrats. Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich, is also expected to attend, a Democrat briefed on the plans told Politico.

The Daily Caller has more:

The Senate Democrats’ campaign arm is planning a two-day getaway at a five-star resort in the heart of California’s wine country in early October — at the same time the country may be in the midst of a government shutdown — according to an invitation obtained by Politico’s “Playbook.”

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) is hosting its Napa Retreat from Oct. 13-14 at Hotel Yountville in Napa County, Politico reported Saturday. Democratic New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who has chaired the DSCC since January, circulated an invitation to the event which lists her, Democratic Maryland Sen. Angela Alsobrooks and other unidentified “[m]embers of the Democratic Caucus” as attendees, according to the outlet.

Democratic Michigan Rep. Haley Stevens — who is running in a hotly-contested 2026 primary for Michigan’s open Senate seat — is also expected to make an appearance at the Napa retreat, Politico reported, citing an anonymous Democrat who was briefed on the gathering. The DSCC has yet to publicly endorse a candidate in the highly competitive race between Stevens, Democratic Michigan Sen. Mallory McMorrow, and former public health official Abdul El-Sayed.

The event will potentially coincide with a government shutdown, which multiple Democratic senators in recent months have threatened to back in opposition to President Donald Trump. A shutdown will occur if Congress does not pass an agreement to fund the government by the end of Sept. 30.

The majority of the retreat is slated to take place at the hotel, with the noted exceptions of an Oct. 13 wine tour and dinner at the certified organic Staglin Family Vineyards, according to the circulated invitation.

So, in the midst of a government shutdown, Democrat Senators are going to run off and sip some wine at a luxury resort in California — all on the taxpayer’s dime.

But, hey, it’s not just a vacation!

Sen. John Thune shed some more light as to why they are doing this — to “raise money from a lot of rich, sort of left-wing billionaires.”

That takes a lot of hard work (and requires a lot of wine), you know!

Watch what he had to say about it here:

Senate Leader John Thune: “They got to go raise money from a lot of rich, sort of left-wing billionaires.”

“If we put up a record of accomplishment and take it to the American people all the money in the world that they try and raise from the west coast is not going to matter.”

Disgraceful.
