A bombshell report that suggests Mark Zuckerberg effectively “bought” the 2020 presidential election by funneling more than $400 million to local boards of election under the guise of a “non-partisan” effort has prompted outrage and calls from officials for reform.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis blasted the billionaire Facebook founder during a news conference at which he said a recent election reform law had “banned Zuckerbucks” in the Sunshine State.
“So, Zuckerberg, he spent over $400 million through these, quote, nonprofits to, quote, help with election administration,” DeSantis said Tuesday.
“But what they would do is they would require certain things to be done like mass mail balloting, ballot harvesting, and they would focus on partisan voter turnout, basically. That was totally unacceptable.”
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) told The Post, “I continue to question whether Mark Zuckerberg’s highly partisan 2020 election spending was even legal.”

So the repubs are gonna... what exactly? Write a letter? Go on podcast interviews? Go around a table saying “Harumph”? Yeah, I’m a wee bit cynical anything comes of this at all.
So the little dweeb is a crook. What a surprise.
Except those Republicans that were on the receiving end.
"Write a letter?"
They ask is it legal?
They don’t know a person can’t do that for an election of a President of the United States?
Look what they got for 400 million... a senile who doesn’t know who he is.. and an invitation for China to rumble.
My God.... there are no words!
Outrage!
Big wup.
Call it Facebook collusion.
Mark Zuckerberg needs to be criminally charged for every penny of his illegal political contributions-in-kind.
Rather slick there, trying to trick us into blaming $uckerburg instead of voter fraud. $uck, too, shall pass. But Democrat voter fraud has been around a very long time.
Plenty of freepers helped finance it through their use of Fecebook.
I know. I am tired of hearing, I only use Facebook to .....
A million and one reasons why they have to make Zuckerberg richer so he can buy more elections...
Outraged? Like if they didn’t know...some where paid under the table to play along. Yes I’m looking at you you POS governors , AG’s and backstabbing POS RINOS ... Water pipe leak my @$$!
It must be nice to be rich enough to finance the purchase of an election plus be able to have your thumb on the scale by suppressing the other side at the same time
How did this guy make so much money from a free service where most people don’t even read the advertisements?
He sells the users data.

“Republican outrage” — now there’s an oxymoron.
Oh the humanity!!!! the GOP is why we are where we are
