Tim Cook is hosting a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton

Tim Cook is planning a fundraising event for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, according to an invitation obtained by BuzzFeed News. The fundraiser is scheduled for August 24th and will be undertaken by Cook as a private citizen, rather than as a representative of Apple.

Cook also hosted a fundraiser for Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan earlier this summer, indicating support for both parties. Thus far, he has not made any such gesture to Republican nominee Donald Trump, who called for a boycott of Apple products earlier this year.

Campaign finance records show Apple employees have donated money to both Democratic and Republican campaign committees in the 2016 cycle, although Democratic donations have largely outstripped Republican ones. Employees have collectively donated over $150,000 to both the Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders campaigns. The most donations to a Republican presidential candidate went to Ted Cruz, who received just over $9,000.

It’s always heartwarming to see one of the little people do what he can do to help the party of the working class.

I'd rather go to a Pier Paolo Pasolini eyes wide shut party and eat canapes.

Some guy named Tim Cook is hosting a fund raiser for Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton in his role as a private citizen. Last month he hosted a fund raiser for Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan . . . he also happens to hold the job as Chief Executive Officer of Apple Inc. Both of these fund raisers were held in his capacity as a private citizen. — PING!


Privated Citizen Tim Cook, non-Apple

"Apple CEO Tim Cook plans to host a fundraiser that will benefit Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, reports BuzzFeed. Cook, along with Lisa Jackson, Apple's vice president of environment, policy, and social initiatives, will host the event as private citizens, not as representatives of Apple."

This is far different from Alphabet/Google putting the power of the search engine behind denigrating searches for Donald Trump like they did for the previous Republican candidates, or preferentially prioritizing negative articles over positive articles for those candidates and doing the opposite for the Democratic candidates, posting only positive articles for Democrats and burying the negative articles multiple pages deep regardless of the pertinence of the results to the search.
