Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said after a meeting with a group of conservatives Wednesday that he values their point of view and that people on the right are important to the social network. […]

Daily Signal Editor-in-Chief Rob Bluey was among the group who met with Zuckerberg and told Fox News Channel’s “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren” that the meeting was a “positive step.”

But Matt Schlapp, chairman of American Conservative Union, declined the invitation, saying that Facebook had no interest in talking to him when he asked them how he could best use the platform in conjunction with his group’s annual Conservative Political Action Conference. “They weren’t interested in helping us.”

The meeting was just a “P.R. stunt,” Schlapp told Van Susteren. …

It was a PR stunt for the Never Trumpers careers.

Donald Trump has shook up politics in this country like Martin Luther King did in 1963 with the civil rights protest in Birmingham and its aftermath.

JFK invited King to the White House along with ‘other Negro leaders’ as a way of isolating King and burying him in a crowd of other people. Kennedy was trying to lift up the other black leaders and lower King’s profile.

Zuckerberg met with the ‘conservatives’ and a representative of Trump I understand so one could argue Zuckerberg was drawing attention to the others at the expense of the bothersome and undesirable Trump.

At best, we can hope for a slight move of the needle to the right, just so he can “prove” FB is being “fair”.

Everything that Congress does is nothing but a publicity stunt as evidenced by Obama still being in the oval office.

Hil-Liary still running for president,

“It was a PR stunt for the Never Trumpers careers”

You are exactly right. Beck and his sidekick, Loesch, among others, were trying to jump start their failing careers. Thought it would make them look good again, after looking like haters and liars. Didn’t work!

They are on the Never Trump bandwagon and have no where to go but DOWN.

“Zuckerberg met with “the conservatives” and a representative of Trump.....”

In a previous article I read Beck and Loesch were going to attend the meeting. I read this article and didn’t see any names mentioned of the attendees.

Can you post a link where it names people that attended the meeting, in particular, the “representative of Trump”....

Interesting! Thanks
