Ocasio-Cortez, Democrats Skewered After Embarrassing Attacks On Zuckerberg
[DAILYWIRE] Socialist Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Dem represntative from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details...
 (D-NY) and other Democrats on the House Financial Services Committee were slammed online on Wednesday over their "arrogant," "inaccurate," and "embarrassing" attacks on Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Zuckerberg appeared before the committee for over six hours to answer questions about Facebook’s proposed cryptocurrency, Libra.

"Anybody who believes the Democrats are angry at Facebook because they want more free speech should take a look at this," Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro commented on the hearing. "Democrats are angry at Facebook because they want less free speech. They simply want more Democratic control of the means of informational distribution."

Rep. Al Green (D-TX) pressed Zuckerberg about the representation that certain intersectional groups have within the company’s Libra project.

After asking how many women and how many minorities worked on the project, Green asked Zuckerberg: "Are there any members of the LGBTQ+ community associated with this association, Mr. Zuckerberg?"

#2 Silly Con Valley has a tradition of canceling projects that were once considered the very future of the company, even if hundreds of millions, (or even billions as Microsoft did when they gave up on their Nokia purchase) have been spent. If a couple big tech houses decide being all in for democrats is not working out, lots of dems will need to refresh their bartending and fry cook chops.

#5  "Are there any members of the LGBTQ+ community associated with this association, Mr. Zuckerberg?"

So Green thinks Zuckerberg ought to keep a list of LGBT employees?

This is nothing but shitty and moronic virtue signaling -- like Kamala Harris idiotic performance during Gina Gaspell's confirmation hearings when she tried to use global warming to attack her
