Socialist LA official Eunisses Hernandez caught in donor lie
Lefty Los Angeles politician Eunisses Hernandez is railing against billionaires and corporations — insisting their donations aren’t welcome — but her own campaign filings show she’s already cashing checks written by two billionaire families.
In a fiery Instagram video, the DSA-backed downtown lawmaker snarls at billionaires to “keep scrolling” while pitching her reelection battle as a fight against wealthy interests she claims are exploiting working families.

But Hernandez is no stranger to hypocrisy, she’s the councilmember who was recently called out for not showing up to political meetings while a park in her district has become a drug-infested hellhole.
Once a neighborhood gathering place, MacArthur Park is now LA’s fentanyl Ground Zero, a chaos-soaked sprawl of open-air drug use, encampments and crime that residents say stands as a flashing symbol of City Hall failure.
In the campaign video, Hernandez even takes a swing at her challengers for “standing with” the New York Post. The Post has reached out more than a dozen times, including again on Wednesday, for comment — and heard nothing back.
Behind the anti-rich swagger, Hernandez has taken money from billionaire families who bankroll progressive power players — including allies of newly elected NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Campaign finance records show donations from Patty Quillin — the wife of Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings — a billionaire Democratic donor with a well-documented history of cutting six-figure checks to party power players and progressive groups, according to online donor-tracking records.
Quillin has written multiple six figure checks for Democratic super PACs over multiple election cycles, including two separate $500,000 donations to the Senate Majority PAC in 2018 alone.
She also made a $50,000 contribution to the same PAC during the 2016 election cycle, records show. The PAC is one of the party’s most powerful national vehicles for influencing Senate races.
Hernandez’s donors also include Elizabeth Simons — the daughter of late hedge-fund titan Jim Simons — an heir to a roughly $32.5 billion family fortune shared with her stepmother Marilyn and two siblings.
Simons is a prolific Democratic megadonor in her own right, known for backing progressive candidates and causes through independent political spending.
In August, she cut a $250,000 check to New Yorkers For Lower Costs — the main outside group that backed Mamdani, according to Forbes.
Even with billionaire-adjacent backing, Hernandez’s cash haul is limp: she’s raised just $74,609 this cycle — only modestly ahead of challenger Sylvia Robledo, who’s pulled in $48,242.
Let’s be honest—no matter how stressful the day gets, a good viral video can instantly lift your mood. Whether it’s a funny pet doing something silly, a heartwarming moment between strangers, or a wild dance challenge, viral videos are what keep the internet fun and alive.
