LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman wants Vice President Kamala Harris to fire FTC Chair, Lina Khan if she becomes President. Why? Because she’s bad for business.
The problem with our government can be boiled down to a single issue: money in politics. Doesn’t it seem a little inappropriate that our representatives in Congress are almost all millionaires? The ones that don’t take corporate money are the ones that consistently fight for the American people—like Senator Bernie Sanders or Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Most of you reading this probably follow politics closely enough that you’re able to see the correlation between how a member of Congress votes and who their donors are. (If not, check out OpenSecrets.org to see the donors and the amounts donated to any member of Congress. You can also visit Congress.gov to see any bill and how everyone voted.)
One clear example would be Republicans consistently voting “No” on gun reform legislation and one of their biggest donors being the gun lobby.
I could write 10 more paragraphs just on this topic, but I won’t. I only brought it up to provide more meaning to the next sentence.
The billionaire LinkedIn founder gave $7 million to the Harris campaign.
Then he went on TV demanding she fire the Chair of the Federal Trade Commission, Lina Khan. Khan leads the Biden administration in suing companies like Amazon and protecting workers from illegal business practices.
Kamala Harris must reject Reid’s demand. TYT shared this story on their show and talked about what it means that he’s already donated $7 million to the Harris campaign.

While I admit that I’ve been pretty cynical when it comes to politics, mostly since the Trump presidency, Kamala Harris has given me hope again.
Her candidacy has injected the entire country with enthusiasm over having a Democratic candidate who will (can) fight back against Donald Trump.
I want to maintain my optimism and believe that Kamala Harris won’t listen to the LinkedIn founder and fire Lina Khan. What do you think?
Let me know in the comments!
