Rep. Mary Peltola stayed far away from Chicago during the Democratic National Convention. It just was not “on brand” for her to be seen there, even though she is Alaska’s top-elected Democrat. Instead, during the middle of the historic convention, she posted a photo of herself working in a hotel room overlook a river in an undisclosed location, possibly in Alaska.
The liberal news organization POLITICO was quick to label hers as “the best in-home office setup,” never stopping to consider that the scene was implausible: It was neither Bethel, Alaska, nor South Anchorage’s Goldenview neighborhood, which is where she actually spends most of her time, when she is in Alaska.
Bethel is a flat part of the world, filled with swamps and tundra. Its housing is rugged and bungalow-like, with snow machines and four-wheelers parked outside next to the heating fuel tank. Unlike the photo that POLITICO supposes is her home, there are no travel trailers out in the Y-K Delta.
The liberal-leaning machine of the media, however, looks for moments like these to glorify its favorite politicians on the left, and Peltola is surely one of those.
Let us know if you recognize the location behind Peltola in the photo at the top of the page, so Alaskans can know where she hid out during the Democratic National Convention, refusing to show up as a delegate so she would not have to cast her vote for Kamala Harris for president.
