Talk about unintended consequences. Seems that Google executives openly admit to giving ‘silent donation’ help to the Clinton campaign in an effort to encourage Hispanics to vote – never anticipating that Donald Trump would receive 28-30% of that voting.
Which could explain Google’s avoiding a Senate hearing on ‘election interference’.
Fox News Sept 05: “Google gets empty chair treatment at Senate Intel hearing”
“Google was given “the empty chair treatment” at the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on Wednesday, a sign lawmakers are fuming that neither CEO Sundar Pichai or Larry Page, chairman of parent company Alphabet, chose to attend the event to discuss election interference.” (underline emphasis added, here and below)
Those curious about why Google no-showed were enlightened 5 days later:
Breitbart liner...“‘Silent Donation’: Corporate Emails Reveal Google Executives’ Efforts to Turn Out Latino Voters Who They Thought Would Vote for Clinton“
Google’s Multicultural Marketing department head, a Latina, admitted in an email to the 2016 effort put out in key states to get out the Hispanic vote, in hopes to help Hillary…
…and, in that post-election email, noted that, in appreciation, their CEO Sundar Pichai “…gave the effort a shout out and a comment in Spanish, which was really special.”
‘Shout Out’?
Forced to eat an unappetizing main-course serving of ‘unintended consequences’ that helped in the thrashing of Hillary Clinton at the polls, no doubt Google’s CEO Pichai was not really interested in a less-than-tasty Senate follow-on side-dish helping of…
…’Chickens Coming Home to Roost.’
Seriously – the resulting gastro-intestinal regurge might have proved…awkward.
Besides (with apologies to Putin-&-Co.) – when it comes to Election Interference…
…no-one, and no Nation…can out-perform the Democrats.
‘Empty Chair Treatment’?
They should’ve been given a Congressional Medal.
