Related: About this forumDaughter of Billionaire GOP Donor Sheldon Adelson Pushes DN! Reporter, Grabs Camera at RNC
When Democracy Now! senior producer Mike Burke attempted to interview billionaire casino magnate and Republican donor Sheldon Adelson inside the Republican National Convention, a woman identified as Adelson's daughter grabbed our video camera, tried to take it into a private suite and then threw the camera to the ground. While Adelson's daughter first accused our Burke of hitting her, she later came out of the suite to apologize. The incident was caught on tape, shortly after Burke questioned another billionaire GOP donor, David Koch, as well as former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele. Burke files a report and joins us to describe what happened.

You think you are a privileged person above the fray of peons, and can do anything you wish, including stealing someones property and smashing it on the floor at your leisure, after all you can afford the best lawyer, and most people can not.
She is a total ass.
