Rich Uncle Pennybags from ‘Monopoly’ appears in Senate hearing again

An activist dressed as Rich Uncle Pennybags from the Monopoly game crashed a Senate hearing Wednesday for the second time in recent weeks.

Amanda Werner, the arbitration campaign manager for Public Citizen, was spotted in their top hat, monocle and mustache in the back of a Senate committee meeting Wednesday. The hearing focused on the impact of lawsuits against corporations.

“When you invite the @USChamber of Commerce, Monopoly Man shows up. After all, they bankrolled my Get Out of Jail Free card,” Werner tweeted.
