'This is corruption': Warren blasts Zuckerberg's secret dinner with Trump

Warren, a 2020 presidential contender, has been an outspoken campaign trail critic of Facebook, calling for federal regulators to break up the company.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren hammered Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg for attending a previously undisclosed dinner with President Donald Trump at the White House, accusing the tech mogul's company of cozying up to the administration as it faces mounting pressure over its competitive practices from federal regulators.

“Amid antitrust scrutiny, Facebook is going on a charm offensive with Republican lawmakers,” Warren tweeted from her campaign account. “And now, Mark Zuckerberg and one of Facebook's board members — a major Trump donor — had a secret dinner with Trump. This is corruption, plain and simple.”

1. Warren should be America's Watchdog

That is her calling.
Many business people and corrupt Repugs hate her over the CFPB & Frank Dodd work that she did. I fully supported it but there is rank hatred over that and people will disparage her the rest of her life and therefore she is not electable as President of the United States.

Could we get a new Judicial position title? “America’s Watchdog”

Go get em, girl!!

3. The "not electable" meme

is getting really old with me.

Those who continue to post it have lost credibility with me as well. They're as bad as the M$M.

ANYONE is electable so long as we GOTV and have strong grassroots enthusiasm for the candidate. Rinse and repeat. And rinse and repeat again. And again. Ad infinitum.

Thanks for your posts.

7. Bernie Sanders is unelectable in my opinion

Gonna swat at me for posting that too? I doubt it since you are obviously not a Bernie supporter!

Bernie = unelectable
Elizabeth = unelectable

I may be for Biden, but I have damn good reasons to back this candidate who is most certainly electable and possibly the only candidate who can beat tRump! Hell, tRump is so afraid of Biden he has done some pretty illegal stuff to smear him ahead of 2020 elections and is currently being impeached for it!!! ...in case you haven’t heard.

4. Though others agree with me...

This DUer sees the extremism that makes her so good at the work she has accomplished - but that does not comport to electability. Sorry. I have nothing whatsoever against Warren. She is so ethical and not afraid to call out the wrongs.

The president of the United States needs to bring the country together and I am afraid she is too extreme to do so. Especially after the current admin has so effectively divided the country.

9. Thats ok, I sense your sincerity.

Thing is, all the reasons you believe that make her not electable are the very reasons I believe she can win this.

Agree to disagree.
