It’s not often when you see a Democratic presidential donor actually concede on live television that America really doesn’t want anything to do with leftist politics.

During the November 4 edition of CNBC’s Squawk Box, CNBC co-anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin questioned Starwood Capital Group Chairman and CEO Barry Sternlicht regarding exit polls allegedly showing that Americans favored leftist policies: “[A]re you surprised that some of the polls on the way out — when they asked Americans about things like, you know, a government-controlled healthcare — that a majority of Americans said they were in favor of things like that?” Sorkin continued: “How do you balance these two different views of the world?”

Sternlicht, who donated the maximum-allowed $2,800 to failed Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, stated shockingly based on yesterday’s results: “I really think the nation repudiated the far left.” As soon as he said this, co-anchor Joe Kernen cut him off, with the excuse that the next show was coming up. But, Kernen proceeded to speak for around 16 seconds before the show ended.

Kernan is a conservative. He goes right to the edge skewering the left, with hilarious wit and mockery. For his last question, he asked the CEO of Parler ( Free Speech twitter alternative) if he was going to grow his beard out like ZZTop. (( like Dorsey who we just got a load of on capitol hill.))

I think they were really out of time and it was a good point to go out on a high note rather than let Sorkin in for the last word.

Sorkin takes the leftist company line on that program. He writes for the NY times. Pushes crap like using company economic power to do censorship, boycott, infringe RKBA, etc that the government is prohibiting from doing.
