据报道，民主党参议院候选人谢罗德·布朗和詹姆斯·塔拉里科共同主持了由知名珠宝设计师亚历克西斯·比特举办的星光熠熠的纽约筹款活动。比特近期公开言论称美国为“粪坑”，并将美国国旗描述为“侵略的象征”。
据《华盛顿自由灯塔报》援引的邀请函显示，这场于周一晚间在曼哈顿举办的筹款活动，捐款门槛从500美元至27000美元不等，演员罗伯特·德尼罗也位列高端主办方名单之中。
比特近期的言论包括7月的一次采访，他在采访中表达了对国家未来的担忧，同时宣传了一部旨在“重新 reclaim[索回/夺回]”美国国旗的纪录片。
在此次采访中，比特质疑美国民众为打造“我们想要生活其中的国家”做了些什么，随后补充道：“我有三个孩子，他们还小，在这个粪坑中长大。如果我们现在不采取行动，我们就完蛋了。”

《华盛顿自由灯塔报》还披露了比特在谈论这部纪录片时发表的关于美国国旗的其他言论。他在2025年7月接受《福布斯》采访时称，在美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普崛起期间，美国国旗已成为“侵略的象征”。
“我在思考新政府以及我可以采取哪些行动来对抗他们的政策。当时人们似乎都处于震惊和倦怠状态。但我开始关注国旗是如何被右翼劫持的，以及左翼是怎么会任由这种情况发生的？”他在采访中说道，“在特朗普时代，美国国旗已经变成了极具侵略性的符号，仿佛在说‘我们来找你算账了’。”
比特一直积极参与进步主义民主党政治活动。据Gothamist网站此前报道，他曾向纽约市市长佐赫兰·曼达尼的过渡团队提供最高限额捐款，并担任市长艺术与文化过渡委员会成员。据《华盛顿自由灯塔报》报道，他还坦然接受“社会主义者”的标签。
几周前，他在Instagram上呼吁民众为纽约的多位候选人投票时说道：“各位……投票时间到了！！！召集所有的民主社会主义者！让我们改变美国……！”

比特近期还为密歇根州参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德举办了筹款活动，并在8月发布了与这位密歇根州联邦参议院候选人的Instagram视频。比特在视频中宣称“传统民主党人已经一只脚踏进坟墓了”，“革命已经开始”。

比特的珠宝曾被米歇尔·奥巴马、碧昂丝、嘎嘎小姐和蕾哈娜等名人佩戴，他不仅打造了知名时尚品牌，还日益积极地参与进步主义民主党政治活动。
比特过往的一则营销活动以虚构的女性连环杀手为主题。2025年12月，他在接受《V杂志》采访时谈及该活动，称自己“一直对杀人者很着迷”，并表示该项目旨在为营销行业“拉高标杆”。

“我一直对杀人者很着迷，我喜欢追溯他们的个人经历以及导致他们成为杀手的人生轨迹。”比特说道，“来认识一下阿曼达·盖茨……她是最不可能成为新时尚偶像的人。”

Democratic Senate candidates Sherrod Brown and James Talarico reportedly headlined a star-studded New York City fundraiser hosted by celebrity jewelry designer Alexis Bittar, whose recent public comments describe the United States as a “s—hole” and characterized the American flag as “a symbol of aggression.”
The fundraiser, held Monday evening in Manhattan, featured contribution levels ranging from $500 to $27,000 and also listed actor Robert De Niro among the high-powered hosts, according to an invitation cited by the Washington Free Beacon.
Bittar’s recent record includes a July interview during which he discussed his concerns about the country’s future, while promoting a documentary centered on “reclaim[ing]” the American flag.
During the interview, Bittar questioned what Americans were doing to create “the country we want to live in” before adding: “I have three kids, and they’re little, and they’re growing up in this s—hole. So if we don’t do something now, we’re f—ed.”

The Free Beacon highlighted separate remarks Bittar made about the American flag while discussing the documentary, saying in an interview with Forbes in July 2025 that the American flag had become “a symbol of aggression” during President Donald Trump’s political rise.
“Thinking about the new administration and what actions I can take to combat their policies. It seemed folks were in shock and experiencing malaise. But I homed in how the flag was co-opted by the right and how did the left let that happen?” he said in the interview. “It’s become such a symbol of aggression, the American flag, like ‘we’re coming for you’ during Trump’s era.”
Bittar has been active in progressive Democratic politics. Gothamist previously reported that he was among the donors who gave the maximum amount to support New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s transition and served on the mayor’s Arts & Culture transition committee. He has also been unafraid of the “socialist” label, the Free Beacon reported.
“Hey people … it’s voting time!!! Bringing in all the Democrat Socialists!! Let’s change America…!” he said while urging people to go out and vote for various candidates in New York several weeks ago on Instagram.

Bittar also recently hosted a fundraiser for Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, while in an August Instagram video with the U.S. Senate candidate from Michigan. Bittar declared that “the traditional Democrats have one foot in the grave” and that “the revolution has begun.”

Bittar’s jewelry has been worn by celebrities including Michelle Obama, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Rihanna, and he has built a high-profile fashion brand while also becoming increasingly active in progressive Democratic politics.
One of Bittar’s past marketing campaigns featured a fictional female serial killer. While speaking with V Magazine about the campaign in December 2025, Bittar said he had “always [been] intrigued by people who kill” and said the project was intended to “raise the bar” for marketing.

“I am always intrigued by people who kill, and I love to trace their own personal history and the trajectories that led them to become killers,” Bittar said. “Meet Amanda Gates … she is the most unlikely new fashion icon.”
