The LinkedIn co-founder who told a panel of billionaires he wished former president Donald Trump was an “actual martyr” days before Saturday’s assassination attempt, is a dark money donor who has contributed tens of millions to Democratic political candidates.
Reid Hoffman, 56, is among the big money supporters of numerous political action committees and non-profits that contribute to progressive and left-leaning political candidates and causes, according to publicly available FEC data.
He is a backer of the Hopewell Fund, a non-profit which is managed by Arabella Advisors, described as “a secretive dark money juggernaut” which spent more than $1 billion to propel Joe Biden to the White House in 2020 by Caitlin Sutherland, the executive director of Americans for Public Trust.*** On Sunday — a day after a would-be assassin tried to kill Trump at a rally in Butler, PA — Hoffman attempted to walk back his inflammatory comments he had made days earlier at the Allan & Company Sun Valley Conference.
At Sun Valley, Hoffman was responding to former Stanford classmate and billionaire Peter Thiel, who sarcastically thanked Hoffman for putting money behind lawsuits against Trump, saying the legal action had turned the 45th president into a “martyr.”
“Yeah, I wish I had made him an actual martyr,” Hoffman replied, according to a report.
Hoffman walked back the comments in a lengthy X post Sunday, saying that his words had been reported out of context.
“Of course I meant nothing about any sort of physical harm or violence, which I categorically deplore,” Hoffman said on X. “I am horrified and saddened by what happened to former President Trump and wish him a speedy recovery.”
Hoffman did not return a request for comment Monday.***

Time to get off Linked In if you are on it/
Reid Hoffman needs to a Columbian Helicopter Tour.
Time to arrest this guy. The gov can use the money.
I got off circa 2020, largely from Microsoft changing it from a useful tool to an info sucking cash cow. A number of Indian IT recruiters were flabbergasted that I didn’t have LinkedIn. Take it or leave it, was my response.
introduce them to “the slapper” the sapper. Due the due diligence.

He also funded E. Jean Carroll’s lawsuit against Trump. Awful people.
“Yeah, I wish I had made him an actual martyr,” Hoffman replied, according to a report.
“Of course I meant nothing about any sort of physical harm or violence, which I categorically deplore,”
I can’t think of any context where his words don’t mean exactly what they appear to mean.
In fact, seize all of his wealth and assets along with those of Schwartz Gyorgy and throw them both in jail.
I have a fake Linkin account. On Linkin I’m a pirate who sails a ship named the “Glory Pig” out of Tortuga. I haven’t checked the account in years. It may be deleted
I see a much richer western Pennsylvania lawyer in his future.
“martyr...1. a person who chooses to suffer death...”
There’s no wishing the other meanings since they happened.
The wealthy should be prohibited from government and politics.
They’re too disconnected from the common man to be involved in their governance.
I just deleted Linked In from my phone.
He was also a very good friend of the Registered Sex Offender and convicted rapist of young teenage girls, Jeffrey Epstein, having traveled on his jet to his Virgin Island mansion.
In addition to going after these people for what they have said, the DemRatMarxist party needs to be shamed beyond all recognition for accepting one penny from any person who espouses to this kind of talk. Make the DRM give the campaign donations back....dry up their donations completely.....
Fat Flabby Load - bump for later....
Had multiple requests to join LINKED IN.
DECLINED.
GLAD I DID.
IOW, he had to pay for it.
And he also funded Haley...
