Philadelphia Financial Council

Philadelphia Financial Council hosts speeches by political figures like Governor Robert Ritchie, who addressed the group and delivered the line 'I'm no scientist, but I know a thing or two about physics.' C.J. cites this gaffe aboard Air Force One to mock Ritchie during a press briefing, adding 'scientist' to his list of untrue claims alongside 'doctor, mind reader, and Chinese.' The council serves as a venue for campaign rhetoric that opponents weaponize in real-time messaging battles.
