Jeffrey Katzenberg, Hollywood mogul with deep China ties, wife drop over $1.7M to Biden’s reelection bid

Former Disney CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg named national co-chair of Biden's 2024 campaign ...

A former Disney CEO and his wife recently donated more than $1.7 million to a joint fundraising committee authorized by Biden's campaign, despite their deep ties to China.

Biden’s campaign announced on April 25 that former Disney and DreamWorks Animation chief Jeffrey Katzenberg would serve as one of its national co-chairs.

Two days later, on April 27, the Biden Victory Fund, the campaign’s joint fundraising vehicle, received a donation totaling $889,600 from Katzenberg’s wife, Marilyn.

...

Katzenberg has deep and longstanding ties to China's communist government.. potentially presenting a problem .. over the country’s human rights abuses and as analysts continue to warn of the threat that China poses to U.S. national security.

....

According to Katzenberg, he visited China every month for years while running DreamWorks Animation.

...

Biden also played a central role in pushing Hollywood's entry into Chinese markets during the Obama administration, meeting with Xi multiple times during the Chinese leader's trip to the U.S. in 2012 — with Katzenberg often showing up.

...

Katzenberg's presence at events with Xi reflected "the access Katzenberg had to the Obama administration," Aynne Kokas, author of the book "Hollywood Made in China" and a film industry scholar, told the Los Angeles Times, noting that the Hollywood producer raised millions of dollars for the Obama-Biden ticket.

However, the deal triggered an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission into DreamWorks Animation and other studios for possible violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act by allegedly bribing Chinese officials to gain access to the Chinese market. Little information has been publicized about the probe.

When did we decide to let the rich purchase the government? This isn’t America anymore.

For how many decades have they claimed there are contribution limits (not that I support it) and don’t they send people to jail, yet they have a system where anyone can contribute millions.

Katzenberg was born on December 21, 1950, in New York City, to a Jewish family, the son of Anne, an artist, and Walter Katzenberg, a stockbroker.[2] He attended the Ethical Culture Fieldston School, graduating in 1969. When he was 14, Katzenberg volunteered to work on John Lindsay’s successful New York mayoral campaign. He quickly received the nickname “Squirt” and attended as many meetings as he could.[3] He went on to attend New York University for one year, before dropping out to work full-time as an advance man for Lindsay.[4][5]

The group of rich—atheistic Jews who are far left certainly love the corrupt , degenerate Democratic Party now in power.

DINESH D’SOUZA was charged, because he is conservative. Liberals/Democrats don’t have to follow the law because it’s not Justice anymore... It’s Just Us.

I think Hillary Clinton set the bar for money spent running a campaign. If I recall correctly, it was around 1.5 billion. The thing is, the Left does not spend money well or to achieve its goals. It goes to graft and corruption that is part and parcel of what they are. Trump spent much less and won.

I saw an article at the time that traced some of Hillary’s spending. It was payments to friends, friends of friends with nothing achieved towards electing her.

Mark 8:36-38
King James Version

36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of Me and of My words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when He cometh in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.

This particular group hates America, because America is a Biblical Nation.
