NBC Hails Billionaire’s ‘Inspiring’ and ‘Groundbreaking’ Left-Wing Activism

In a report for Wednesday’s NBC Today, Special Anchor Maria Shriver praised Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff as an “amazing leader” who was “changing the world for the better.” As evidence of his supposed “inspiring” and “groundbreaking” leadership, she touted his left-wing intimidation tactics against states that enacted religious freedom laws.

Interviewing Benioff for the segment, Shriver noted: “You also said employees want to have a meaningful experience at work.” The liberal billionaire gushed: “You see that with millennials....Before, business was just about the product. Now, business is about something much greater.”

Shriver chimed in to explain that “purpose” to viewers:

Like fighting for social justice and equality. When Indiana and Georgia proposed laws that would discriminate against LGBT people, Benioff threatened to pull thousands of employees out of those states, and the bills were vetoed.

In 2015, the Today show was part of the liberal media crusade to attack any state that attempted to protect religious liberty:

So, is it just me or does anyone else get the feeling that attaining gazillions of dollars turns these fidiots into uber liberal alt left radical assclowns? Generally speaking, it sure looks that way. Or is it ego that tells them "I made so much money I MUST be smarter than everybody else in the world." Where is Daddy Warbucks for the right? As and aside, if the $$$$$ turns them into such fidiots, I must really be smart. LOL!

Let's see how Shriver feels about leftist activism when she and a few thousand other MSMers find themselves in reeducation camps or gulags.

Some say that leftism is a mental disorder. I think it's more of a disease on a par with cancer.

Leo Linbeck Jr. was a Texas billionaire conservative who made his fortune as a builder. Sound familiar?

Builders build.

Bullsh*tters bullsh*t.

Guess which category Benioff is in.

That is about half the problem with our society as it exists today - too many self-absorbed asshats demanding that everything be a "meaningful experience" so they can "feel" important.

For as long as I live, I’ll never forget the day back in the 60s when my mother got into a pissin’ contest with Pierre Salinger over those “little Kennedy kids bastards”. LOL. Shriver was their ringleader at the time. Way to go MOM! You done good.

Ever so glad I don’t have to use Salesforce software. Haven’t heard much good about it from those who have.
