Uber Technologies is playing a dangerous game of political chess in California, throwing money at THREE different gubernatorial candidates - including the scandal-ridden Eric Swalwell, who was famously compromised by a Chinese spy named Fang Fang.
The rideshare giant's political donations reveal everything wrong with Big Tech's approach to politics: they don't care about principles, they only care about power and protecting their bottom line.
According to reports, Uber is backing Democratic candidates Katie Porter and Rep. Eric Swalwell, along with one unnamed Republican candidate. This hedge-betting strategy shows exactly why everyday Americans can't trust these Silicon Valley corporations.
Swalwell: The WORST Choice
Let's be clear about who Uber is supporting here. Eric Swalwell - the same congressman who had a years-long relationship with suspected Chinese intelligence operative Christine Fang. This is the man Uber thinks should govern the nation's most populous state?
Swalwell has been a reliable vote for every radical Democrat policy, from defunding police to pushing the Russia collusion hoax. And now Uber wants to put him in the governor's mansion in Sacramento.
Meanwhile, Katie Porter has built her career on attacking businesses and pushing socialist policies that would destroy California's already struggling economy.
Corporate Cronyism at Its Worst
This is exactly the kind of corporate behavior that President Trump has been fighting against. These companies don't care about America First - they care about having friends in high places regardless of party.
Uber's strategy is simple: buy influence with whoever might win. It's the swamp mentality that Trump drained in Washington, but it's still alive and well in Silicon Valley.
California families deserve better than politicians bought and paid for by Big Tech companies that put profits over patriotism. The Golden State needs leaders who will stand up to corporate cronyism, not bow down to it.
Will California voters see through this corporate manipulation, or will they let Big Tech buy another election?
