Van Jones: Silicon Valley Jumped Sides Because Biden Thought They Had Too Much Power, Too Little Regulation and Social Conscience
EXCERPT:
JONES: “Four years ago, the Democratic Party had the White House, it had the Senate, they had the House, it had the popular vote, and it had Silicon Valley on its side. Over the past four years, the Democratic Party has lost the House, lost the Senate, lost the White House, lost the popular vote, and now has lost Silicon Valley, which means the billionaires are on the other side of the table. And I think part of what Biden was concerned about, which got him in trouble with Silicon Valley in the first place, was that you‘re talking about literally someone who could become a trillionaire sitting next to the president of United States. That attitude on the part of the Biden Administration that there‘s something going wrong in Silicon Valley, it has too much power, too little regulation, too little social conscience, that attitude from Biden provoked Silicon Valley to jump on the other side of the table. Democrats are now in real trouble. But on his way out, he‘s pointing out that this particular conglomeration of power is unprecedented and it can be very, very dangerous."
