Intel CEO Tries to Quiet Criticism After Cancelled Trump Fundraiser
Fortune ^ | 6/2/16 | Aaron Pressman

Posted on 06/02/2016 3:10:40 PM PDT by SoFloFreeper

Intel CEO Brian Krzanich moved quickly Wednesday night to quell a firestorm of criticism he received after news leaked that he was holding a fundraiser at his home for presumed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

The event, which was scheduled for Thursday evening, was abruptly cancelled on Wednesday afternoon after an inquiry from the New York Times. But that didn’t stop a host of negative articles questioning why the CEO of one of the largest tech companies—and one co-founded and run for decades by proud immigrant Andy Grove—would be backing Trump.

Is Andy Grove an Illegal Invader?

If he had been holding a fund raiser for THE BEAST the media would be praising him.

“””and one co-founded and run for decades by proud immigrant Andy Grove””””

The reason for Trumps popularity is that he knows the difference between an immigrant and an ILLEGAL immigrant.
It is something the media keeps getting confused, on purpose to fool the sheeple.

“... negative articles questioning why the CEO of one of the largest tech companies—and one co-founded and run for decades by proud immigrant Andy Grove—would be backing Trump.”

So there’s something wrong with the CEO of a large Fortune 500 Company supporting a President who wants to put America first and bring jobs back to the U.S? Is there some reason why we should be upset with that?

I guess logic has never really mattered to the Left when it comes to pushing their agenda.

...and one co-founded and run for decades by proud LEGAL immigrant Andy Grove...

Only sociopaths/psychopaths would refuse to acknowledge the difference between LEGAL and ILLEGAL immigration.

So the Left’s fascist strategy will now be to go after those who financially support Trump.

Someone got to Krzanich and I suspect it was Facebook or Google.
Going back to Andy Grove, all of Intel CEO’s have been Republicans.
Barrett was probably the most active as he was considering running for office.
Grove was a BIG anti-communist being from Hungary.

Back in 2002, the GOP turned their backs on Intel and they have been backing RATS since.

Frankly I was shocked that Krzanich came out and backed Trump.
Some of his decisions have NOT been well thought out and sounded right out of the Obama playbook.

Grove came here legally from Hungary and was a hard core anti-communist.
Probably one of the best CEO’s ever in Silicon Valley.
Hired only the best of the best.
I was honored to work for him.

The Article implied that an Immigrant would not support Trump. I just quoted that one comment from the Article.

I’m sure the Gentleman is beyond reproach, but the Author of the piece chose to make him part of the Trump bashing.

I was just pointing out the slanted viewpoint.

Oh I understand.
The MSM tends to idolize Steve Jobs and other SV CEO’s and they ignore those on the conservative side of the fence.
Bob Noyce and his team at Intel built Silicon Valley out of nothing.

It was after the 60’s that the crazy liberals took over.
I tried to get the Bush Admin to engage Silicon Valley during the .com boom/bust.
Trump is breaking new ground in building bridges at Intel.
I’m excited!!!

Tired of this worthless trope pushed by the MSM.

Only immigrants are allowed to be "proud".

When a citizen or normal white person does it, it's "arrogance".
