Google Withdraws As Host Of Democratic Fundraising Event
dailycaller.com ^ | 6/2/2018 | Eric Lieberman

Google was set to rent out its D.C. headquarters to a progressive group running a fundraiser for top Senate Democrats, but canceled it Friday just days before.

The group “Run For Something” cultivates up-and-coming Democrats for all levels of government. Its event, “Party For Something,” was supposed to occur June 6 at a location only disclosed if tickets ($100 to $1,000) were purchased.

“June 6th: Games, drinks and building the bench with Senators Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand & Cory Booker!!” the invite states at the top. “Why? Because Run For Something set a goal of recruiting 50,000 new voices this year to run for office — and you want to help make it happen.”

Google doesn’t want to be associated anymore with bigots, crazy people, and pedophiles?

Why is Google caring, now?

I just found it humorous, since the event, such as it is, will be on the 6th, and google pulls the rug out from under them 5 days prior. Now that there is funny!

Call me a curmudgeon...

I long for the day when all Corporations get out of look at me and what I do for the community ( and behind the scenes, spending bootles on their PAC's ) and they don't spend a dime on all of the above. However, they encourage all their employees to give 10% to their favorite charity, hall of faith etc and encourage them to donate time as well. I don't want to know the politics of XYZ Corp, in fact they shouldn't care about Blue(D) or Red(R) but but the color green....

I hope and pray that some of the “straws in the wind” news stories I’m reading are indicative of good polling numbers for the right in the mid-terms.

Exactly. There was a time when businesses used to be concerned about the bottom line.

Andrew Wilkow on Sirius XM Patriot 125 talked about this very problem over the last several days on his show. Said ABC and Starbucks have lost $77 million (total) due to ridiculous virtue signalling.

ABC didn't have to cancel Roseanne's show for example. They should have made her publicly apologize and maybe make her see a psychiatrist or something. But think of all the ad revenue the show has lost, the jobs employed by the camera people and food services, for example. Roseanne was a multi-million dollar show and ABC pissed it away.

Businesses are supposed to care about one thing and one thing only: Profit.

For a Democrat, “Something” is killing an unborn baby, importing illegals, raising taxes, free healthcare by the government (IOW your taxes), gay marriage, and a bathroom for “transgenders”. This is the modern Democratic party.

There is laws on the books where CEO’s and other top corporate officials, cannot mismanage these companies so it so it gives some protection to investors.

They clearly are mismanaging these companies and hurting shareholder value. I’ve been saying for awhile these SJW top corporate officials are setting themselves up for some major stockholder’s lawsuits in the future once the shareholders figure out how their investments have been squandered in the name of social justice.

I really can’t wait until that reality sets in on these deluded SJW commie idiots.

My first thought. Ticket sales were not as projected So they cancelled the event. Too bad NOT
