In 2016, democrats claimed that Russia interfered with the election to help Donald Trump steal the White House. Their evidence is that Russian troll farms placed silly ads on social media that were non-candidate-specific. In 2020 big tech censored President Trump and suppressed negative Biden information, while donating heavily to the Biden campaign. This is what election interference looks like, but you won’t find Hillary Clinton complaining about it.
The liberal media did its part to influence the election by burying stories about Joe Biden’s sexual misconduct, the corruption of his crack son Hunter, and publishing wildly inaccurate polls. Big tech also did this by censoring President Trump’s social media posts and completely abolishing any mention of Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Despite claiming they are non-partisan impartial players, the big social media companies were in fact rooting for Joe Biden to win. Check this out from Fox News:
Top executives at Facebook and Twitter donated tens of thousands of dollars to President-elect Joe Biden’s campaign, Federal Election Commission records reviewed by Fox News reveal, as the social media platforms come under fire for limiting the circulation of reports surrounding Hunter Biden’s business dealings in the weeks leading up to Election Day.
A Fox News review of FEC records shows that top executives at the social media companies made large donations to the Biden campaign, including several who gave the legal maximum of $2,800.
Fox News identified zero Facebook or Twitter executives who donated to Trump’s campaign.
It’s hard to argue with statistics like that.
According to FEC records, Facebook vice president of public policy, Erin Egan, donated $2,800 to Biden’s campaign on Oct. 1, in addition to the $2,800 she donated to the campaign during the Democratic primaries.
Facebook chief revenue officer David Fischer donated $2,800 to Biden during the primary, and an additional $750 during the general election, according to FEC records.
Facebook’s chief financial officer, David Wehner, donated the legal maximum of $2,800 to Biden’s campaign on April 22, FEC records show.
Facebook vice presidents Gene Alston, Michael Verdu, Shahriar Rabii and T.S. Khurana also donated the legal maximum of $2,800 to Biden’s campaign during the 2020 cycle, FEC records show. Instagram’s chief operating officer, Marne Levine, also donated the maximum limit of $2,800 to Biden’s campaign.
Over at Twitter, vice president Matt Derella donated $2,000 to Biden’s campaign in September.
And the executives were not alone. FEC records revealed that dozens of Twitter and Facebook employees with “manager” or “director” in their titles donated at least $1,000 to Biden’s campaign.
Twitter’s senior director Ryan Oliver, for example, donated $2,800 to Biden’s campaign in March; senior director of product management James Kelm also donated $2,800 to Biden during the primary and another $2,800 to his general election campaign, FEC records show.
At Facebook, the platform’s public policy director Steve Satterfield, another public policy director, Michael Matthews, product manager Brett Keintz and Facebook director Ibrahim Okuyucu, donated $2,800 to Biden’s campaign.
Facebook program manager David Debartolo donated $5,600 – split between Biden’s primary campaign and general election campaign – on March 29, FEC records show.
And to prove this is no coincidence, Politico reports that Joe Biden is rewarding this election interference:
…people with close ties to Facebook and CEO Mark Zuckerberg have already become inside players in the Biden transition, suggesting that the president-elect is not slamming the door on the company.
Former Facebook board member Jeff Zients is co-chairing Biden’s transition team. Another former board member is an adviser. Two others — one who was a Facebook director and another who was a company lobbyist — have taken leadership roles. And Biden himself has a friendly relationship with a top Facebook executive, former U.K. Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg.
In addition to Zients, the transition’s general counsel, Jessica Hertz, was most recently a director at Facebook where she helped the company navigate the FTC’s investigation on data privacy and Cambridge Analytica. Former Facebook lobbyist Louisa Terrell is heading up the transition’s congressional relations. Austin Lin, a program manager at Facebook from 2017 to 2018, is on the 4-person agency review team tasked with the Executive Office of the President. And Erskine Bowles — who spent eight years on Facebook’s board — has been advising the transition team.
Big tech manipulated the flow of negative Biden information before the election, supported Biden’s campaign financially, and then were given cushy jobs in the Biden transition team. That’s a hell of lot more evidence of election interference and collusion than the democrats have been screaming about Trump and Russia for 4 years.
Based on the goofy ads Russia placed on social media in 2016, dozens of people were indicted for crimes. Will we see Robert Mueller had down indictments against Facebook and Twitter execs for doing much worse? Don’t hold your breath.
