BEAUMONT, Texas –

Sources close to the private fundraiser held for Hillary Clinton in Beaumont Wednesday afternoon tell 12News it raised hundreds of thousands of dollars. Some estimates put the amount collected at half-a-million dollars, making it one of the top five private fundraisers Clinton has had in this country.

Pakistani businessman Tahir Javed hosted the reception for Clinton at this home in West Beaumont.

Former U.S. Representative Nick Lampson, who attended the event, says 250 people were there. Lampson says Clinton spoke about education, healthcare and individual freedoms for people of all backgrounds and faiths.

Many of the Pakistanis at the event were pleased with Clinton’s vocal support of the Muslim religion.

Aisha Zahid said, “Talking about Muslims and favoring Muslims,so I really appreciate her whatever effort she is making against Islamaphobia, so I really think she needs to be the next President of the United States.”so america

Also in attendance, congress people from the Houston area, Sheila Jackson-Lee and Al Green.

But not everyone was a fan.  A handful of protesters demonstrated near the event, over Clinton’s response to the Benghazi attack and her email controversy.

Wait Until You See the ‘Abortion Barbie’ Posters that Greeted Democrat Wendy Davis in Hollywood

Wendy Davis, the State Senator from Texas who is also the Democrat gubernatorial candidate, was partying it up with the Hollywood elite on Thursday in L.A. Those radical progressives from California who would like to help turn Texas blue paid upwards of $25,000 to the campaign of Davis for the privilege of attending a ‘soiree’ in her honor. Davis was catapulted to national fame and earned the name Abortion Barbie when she filibustered a proposed bill in Texas that would end late-term abortions. The bill would have also required doctors performing abortions to have hospital admitting privileges. Her antics proved unsuccessful and the bill became law.

Davis’s visit to L.A. was met with more than just the bright lights of the big city of glitzy Hollywood.  Twenty life-sized posters depicting Wendy Davis as “Abortion Barbie” was placed throughout Los Angeles just ahead of her fundraiser.

The posters say “Hollywood Welcomes Abortion Barbie, Wendy Davis”. The life-sized Barbie pic has Wendy Davis’ face as Barbie, a plastic baby in her belly, and a pair of scissors next to her near a baby’s head.

Since Davis stood up and fought against making abortions more safe for women and advocated strongly for the killing of the baby during even a late pregnancy stage, one would think she would proudly embrace her depiction. After all, it is simply a pictorial representation of her advocacy in support of abortion, even during the late –term. 

Of course, the Davis campaign is attempting to use the posters as a way to attack her GOP opponent Greg Abbott, despite the fact that he had nothing to do with the posters. According to Newsbusters, Kathryn Stuard, a conservative woman from Midland, Texas, paid the conservative artist “Sabo” to design and hang the posters.

MySanAntonio.com reports that Stuard, a 53-year old woman who made her money in the oil business, said of the posters, “It hits people with the truth. The artist is very edgy…I do support (Greg) Abbott but the campaign had nothing to do with these (posters).”
