Billionaire LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman – who apologized after he was caught funding a 'Russian bot hoax' against Republican Roy Moore in 2019 (archived), and more recently bankrolled Trump 'rape is sexy' accuser E. Jean Carroll, has a new focus in his quest to combat the Orange Menace™ currently dominating the 2024 Republican field:
Nimrata "Nikki" Haley…
Haley, a defense contractor's wet dream, received a $250,000 contribution to her PAC from Hoffman, who also donated $759,600 to President Biden's reelection effort.
Haley, whose poll numbers are on the rise vs. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, hopes to dislodge Trump as the party's leader. Trump, meanwhile, is probably nonplussed by the whole thing.
