Back a few years ago the NYTimes had a news article praising Hillary Clinton for wearing a White Pantsuit.
A few days ago, the NYTimes had a news story criticizing Tulsi Gabbard for wearing a white pants suit.
It seems like hypocrisy except that perhaps, a white pantsuit worn at an inaugural is, in some way, different
from a white pantsuit worn at a debate.
The images and information come from a tweet by Glen Greenwald and is available here. Greenwald notes that the NYTimes article criticizing Gabbard is aware that Mrs Clinton wore a white pantsuit and the article's 'logic' is provided in the article.
Like some other people who have run for President without having served in a previous elected office (George Washington, Zachary Taylor, Ulysses Grant, Herbert Hoover, Dwight Eisenhower and Donald Trump come to mind), Tom Steyer is counting on name recognition to get him at least partway there
He is using his own wealth to fund advertising himself. Apparently, he is responsible for 67% of all TV advertising for candidates for President in 2020 (almost $50 million). This despite the fact that he is only a recently announced candidate and despite the fact that there were ten to twenty other candidates just in the Democratic party who were running serious campaigns for President.
What makes this interesting to me is that prominently, on the TomSteyer.com website is the following quote,
" Corporations and special interests have bought politicians and influenced Washington for too long"
I'm not calling this hypocrisy since the point is he wants to change things and has to work within the pre-change system. It is, however, somewhat laughable because the fact that he has spent so much money and still polls at somewhere around 1% nationally shows that, just maybe, he has overestimated the influence of campaign funding.
The estimate of Steyer's campaign spending is here.
The Steyer for President website is here. The image above came from that website.
A link to some polling where Steyer was at 1% as of today is here.

Arnold Schwarzenegger famously feted global climate activist Greta Thunberg by loaning her Arnold's Tesla for some of Greta travels in North America.
The first image shows Arnold, Greta and the Tesla. The two met in Vienna Austria).
This was part of Arnold identifying himself as a
climate activist.
It turns out that Arnold's lifestyle is, well, a model of carbon intensity. The man owns many vehicles including the tank (Arnold is in front of it in the second image) and a Porsche (Arnold is driving it in the third image).
The fourth image is Arnold driving something called a Pinzgauer all terrain vehicle.
Is Arnold a hypocrite? Yes and not a very self aware one at that. There isn't anything special about this hypocrisy either but I actually like the pictures of the cars (and the tank).
The image of Arnold and Greta and the Tesla is from an article here.
The images of Arnold and his tank and Arnold and his Porsche from an article here. The article has images of many of Arnold's other vehicles.
The image of Arnold and the Pinzgauer is from an article here. Apparently, Arnold took this vehicle out for some errands.
