Left Loses It Over Big Tech Chairman’s Pro-Trump Fundraiser
NewsBusters ^ | 2/14/2020 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 02/14/2020 1:45:47 PM PST by JV3MRC

The left went bonkers on Twitter when news broke that Big Tech billionaire Larry Ellison was hosting a pro-Trump fundraiser. Lefty outlet Vox Recode characterized the billionaire founder of Oracle Corporation's decision to support President Donald Trump as "unthinkable for a tech titan" and “a major coup for the Trump team." Recode continued: "Ellison is, after all, the country’s fifth-richest person, with a net worth of almost $70 billion.” Vox Recode also issued a harbinger in its Feb. 12 report: “[T]he fundraiser [to be held in Ellison’s estate] is sure to expose the flamboyant 75-year-old billionaire [Ellison] to a new wave of political and corporate scrutiny." [Emphasis added.]

Yet another sham “investigation” by the deep state crazies at The “Justice” Department like Obama used the IRS to terrorize practically every single large Romney donor in 2012?

Bloomberg thinks he is the only one with crazy money. Well Larry has even more money than Bloomberg.

I can tell you I was more than a little shocked Larry Ellison is backing Trump.
Glad to see it but still shocked

I hope some of the biggies in tech and corp America will step up and say, enough! We support Trump and if the snowflakes don’t like it then we disagree. Leave it at that—cancel the cancel culture.

According to OpenSecrets, he’s been fairly consistent in backing Republicans over the years..

To paraphrase Ross Perot: is the giant slurping sound?

Leftists only truly hate Billionaires that donate to Republicans and Conservatives. A great many billionaires learned this lesson long ago. Many donate to leftists as insulation from retribution. Of course many are actual leftists themselves.
It takes guts to be a billionaire Conservative donor. You know the dems will come after you. You have to care more about your country than you care about dem harassment.
Apparently, Ellison is in this category.

I met Larry Ellison at a trade show in NY in the late 80s where he offered me a job that I declined.

He's worth 70+ billion and I'm sending posts on FR...hmmm.

Somebody is a dummy, I wonder who?

What, me worry?????

Sounds like they're promising fascist intimidation and probably fascist violence.

Larry must be looking for more indentured slave labor on guest worker visas.

This is great news. Figures that a guy who built his own fortune and doesn't need to suck up to Wall Street is backing Trump.

Ellison could be Presidential material though he's stayed mostly out of the public except when he won the America's Cup in Yachting.

Larry Ellison, love him or hate him, is his own man. He does not cower or seek approval.
