Martha's Vineyard is a summer playground for wealthy liberals, featuring overpriced dilapidated cottages on an island off Massachusetts. A smaller island named Chappaquiddick is nearby and where the married Senator Ted Kennedy's sexy female companion for an evening was found suffocated in a car he was driving, upside down in a few feet of water. The Chappaquiddick incident shocked the nation.
Marth's Vineyard is 89% white. 80% voted for Joe Biden in 2020. The cost of living on the island is 60 percent higher than the national average, and housing prices are 96 percent higher.[1] The year-round working population of Martha's Vineyard earns 30 percent less on average than other residents of Massachusetts while keeping up with a cost of living that is 60 percent higher than average,[2] leading to a stark example of severe income inequalities between year-round residents and their seasonal counterparts.[3][4]
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, an enthusiastic supporter of the 2009 anti-capitalist Occupy Wall Street protests, held meetings with her Wall Street donors and CEOs in Martha's Vineyard.[5]
The Obama family bought a mansion in Martha's Vineyard for $11.75 million.[6] Despite Barack Obama's opposition to President Trump's plan to build a wall along the U.S.–Mexico border in order to secure it, it was reported in early 2017 that Obama was building a wall around his new mansion, obviously to keep unwanted people out.[7] The oceanfront property has magnificent views of the sea, which Obama claimed were rising due to climate change.
In 2018 a woman at a luxurious dinner party in Martha's Vineyard threatened to stab famed attorney and author Alan Dershowitz in the heart for his refusal to support "impeachment" of President Donald Trump.[8]
Planeloads of Illegals
In October 2021, county commissioner Keith Chatinover for Martha's Vineyard told The Martha’s Vineyard Times, "I would love Martha’s Vineyard to become a haven for new immigrants to this country."[9]
Conservative Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis stunned the liberal elite by sending two planeloads totaling 43 illegal aliens to Martha's Vineyard on September 14, 2022. The liberal media went into a tizzy over this brazen -- and long overdue -- relocation of the migrants to liberals' own backyard. In less than 24 hours, Democrat officials moved to deport the 'undesirables' from the liberal elite playground.[10] Local officials cited a lack of housing, although the island has only 16,000 year-round residents yet houses more than 100,000 in the summer time.
