This reminds me of a line from “Gladiator”. I have not seen that movie in


So long I’m surprised it popped into my head. Upper crust senator who opposes the corrupt emperor shows up at the Coliseum for the “games”, and another senator acts surprised that he would stoop to such levels. Upper crust guy says “I never claimed to be a man of the people, but I do try to be a man for the people”.
