An attendee at President Obama’s lavish San Francisco fundraiser allegedly broke his ex-girlfriend’s jaw in a domestic incident and has referred to the Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong as a "great leader."
Real estate developer Clint Reilly was just one of many donors in attendance at a presidential fundraiser held Wednesday at Merchants Exchange Building, which Reilly owns.
Reilly was involved in a domestic violence episode in 1981, when he allegedly "beat and kicked a former girlfriend in a hotel room."
The wealthy real estate mogul has also gone on record to express his affection for Chairman Mao.
"Mao Was A Great Leader—With Flaws," Reilly said, according to a 2001 article in the San Francisco Weekly.
Reilly also has accused average Americans of envying his wealth and complained that he is not treated like a common man.
"As Reilly and I ascend a stairway up the cross, he explains that he wants to be seen as the common man he believes himself, at heart, to be, but that view has been hard to get across, because common people are envious of his wealth," reporter Peter Byrne wrote in a profile piece on Reilly.
