‘Populist’ VA Dem Gov Candidate Received Payment From Elite Ivy League Secret Society

Yale secret society paid Perriello's honorarium, according to 2009 disclosure

A self-styled populist Democratic candidate for the Virginia governorship received an honorarium payment from the alumni organization of an elite secret society at Yale University, according to financial disclosure forms.

Tom Perriello, a progressive who served as a representative from Virginia's 5th Congressional district from 2009 to 2010 but lost his congressional seat during the Tea Party wave, is running against Ralph Northam, the state's lieutenant governor, in June's Democratic gubernatorial primary.

Perriello attended Yale as an undergrad and again for law school and has described himself on numerous occasions as a "pragmatic populist."
