I don’t agree with his politics, but he did the right thing by coming clean.
A liberal billionaire who funded an organization that falsely portrayed Alabama senate candidate Roy Moore as being supported by the Russian government has apologized.
Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, millions to Democrat groups during the last election cycle, but one of those groups, American Engagement Technologies (AET) ran a disinformation campaign that linked Moore to the Kremlin. AET is run by former Obama appointee Mikey Dickerson and received $750,000 from Hoffman.
“I find the tactics that have been recently reported highly disturbing. For that reason, I am embarrassed by my failure to track AET – the organization I did support – more diligently as it made its own decisions to perhaps fund projects that I would reject,” Hoffman wrote in a post on Medium.
“I want to be unequivocal: there is absolutely no place in our democracy for manipulating facts or using falsehoods to gain political advantage,” he added.
And yet, that’s what his political side did.
