Billionaire Bill Ackman renounces 2024 Dems over DEI efforts, plans think tank to probe higher ed
New York Post ^

Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman said he can no longer be “associated with” the Democratic Party over its support of “racist” diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

In an interview on CNBC Friday, the Pershing Square Capital Management founder said that the Dems had “morphed” into woke martyrs.

“I was a Bill Clinton Democrat and what the party has morphed into is not something I want to be associated with,” he said on “Squawk Box.”

Interesting. Someone becoming horrified by the monster they enabled?

Naomi Wolf seems to have been red pilled. Could Ackman be on his way to be another?

Welcome to Bill Ackman. Given his past political leanings, he’s not perfect (remember President Reagan started as an FDR Democrat) but he’s articulate, seems to put his money where his mouth is, and frankly, we need all the help we can get due to the entire federal government (and their acolytes in states like Wisconsin, Arizona and PA) being arrayed against us in 2024.

No kidding! It took him THIS LONG to wake up to reality? These people are really dim-witted and slow. (yet, somehow they become billionaires)

Remember people like Ackman supported DEI when it was just going against non-Jewish white men. It was only after the Left decided to move Jews into the “oppressor” group that he had an issue with it. So while it’s good he’s decided to go after them I hardly consider him any kind of principled hero.

This billionairre dumbass didn’t “wake up” to this after all this time; it just took this long for the effects of the insanity he enabled to impact him and his family... Hard to believe all of these enabling dimwits fail to realize they are also in the firing line, but I guess the enable evil in order to be dealt with last.

Probably because they are surrounded by yes-men.

They only hear what people think they want to hear.

This (((financier))) just realized in late 2023 that the Democrats are a raced-based patronage machine ?

Ackmans only problem with Woke is the same as Bernie Madoff. What Madoff and Woke were doing was fine until they started going after the “wrong people”.

” Naomi Wolf seems to have been red pilled. Could Ackman be on his way to be another? “


Wolf stepped away from the Left at considerable personal cost over covid repression.

Ackman denounces DEI when it is safe, and when it starts to hit him and his.
