Newsmax: The billionaire co-founder of LinkedIn has issued an apology for providing capital to a group that was involved in meddling with the 2017 Alabama Senate special election.
A week after it was reported Reid Hoffman indirectly funded the group’s efforts to create a disinformation campaign, he told The Washington Post he was surprised and disappointed to learn his money was used for such a purpose.
“I find the tactics that have been recently reported highly disturbing,” Hoffman said. “For that reason, I am embarrassed by my failure to track [American Engagement Technologies] — the organization I did support — more diligently as it made its own decisions to perhaps fund projects that I would reject.”
It was reported last week the 2017 experiment involved setting up a Facebook page for the contentious Alabama Senate special election. Using tactics Russia is accused of doing during the 2016 presidential election, a group called New Knowledge sought to determine how a social media campaign could impact an election using a few tricks. more here
LinkedIn co-founder is sorry everybody now has confirmation that he’s a evil liberal prick.
Reid (Jack) Hoffman probably thinks this is a good idea too.

Yeah, show your solidarity with muzzie wimminz by submitting to 7th century barbarians.
Translation: “l am sorry I got caught doing something that Democrats would insist on jail time for if Trump had done it, but since I have given a non-apology all will be forgiven.”
I hate freaken Linkedin. I bet I average 5 people a day tying to get me to add them to my account. Except I don’t have an account.
Isn’t LinkedIn a Facebook operation now? Whoever they are I don’t like them.
Didn’t Dinesh D’Souza get sentenced to a halfway house and a psych evaluation over a $20k campaign contribution?
Based on the size of this fat tub of shit’s donation, he should get the electric chair after a pay per view chemical castration. He fucked with Our Sacred Election Process ™ to engage in criminal simulation of Russian Collusion!
Yes, I’m certain they are very sorry. That they got caught.
“… the organization I did support — more diligently as it made its own decisions to perhaps fund projects that I would reject.”
An “organization” made decisions? “Perhaps fund projects?”
This is a fine example of mealy-mouthed weasel-worded bullshit.
Organizations don’t make decisions – people do – only people make decisions (about “perhaps” funding projects – not about – say – Kibbles or Bits).
This asswipe got caught with his pants down – supporting election fraud (which he KNOWS is treason) – and is trying to lay the blame on some inanimate legal structure.
Sad part is, he’ll get away with it.
