Andrew Kerr of the Washington Free Beacon reports on a major tech company’s role in boosting anti-Trump forces.
The resistance’s bar tab is on Google.
Priorities USA, a top Democratic super PAC with an affiliated dark money group, is convening a summit of left-wing digital activists on Wednesday afternoon to deliver a post-mortem on Vice President Kamala Harris’s election loss and strategize how to “resist the Republican agenda,” according to an invite obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. Afterwards, Priorities USA invited attendees to attend an afterparty that will be “co-hosted by our friends at Google.”
“Recognizing that there is still a lot of data to be collected and analysis to be done, we hope that you will join our 2024 Digital Retrospective during which we will discuss what was done online this cycle and how we can prepare to resist the Republican agenda,” Priorities USA said in the email invitation. “This is just an initial conversation, we will be in touch in the coming weeks and months with information to join additional deeper dive conversations, briefings, and planning meetings.”
“For those in DC, we hope that you will also join us for a social hour co-hosted by our friends at Google,” the invite stated.
Priorities USA, whose major donors include billionaire financier George Soros and former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, closed its invite with a quote from Harris’s concession speech: “This is not a time to throw up our hands. This is a time to roll up our sleeves.”
A Google spokesman confirmed that the company will host a happy hour for Priorities USA on Wednesday, but will not participate in Priorities USA’s “digital retrospective” event preceding it.
“We did not participate in creating the content of the meeting,” the Google spokesman told the Free Beacon. “As they do for large ad buyers on both sides of the aisle, our political sales team will host some drinks after it.”
