Seeing how all 3 of those companies lean left and donate left, could hurt the Democrat cause.

I love it when idiot lib companies suddenly have their own guns turned on them.

Liberals are eating their own everywhere. It’s awesome.

Fauxcahantas is trolling for a big campaign contribution from the tech companies. She’s basically extorting them to come up with lots of wampum for her campaign
