Hypocrisy at Harvard: Ken Griffin’s $300 Million Donation Riles Liberal Snowflakes

As a fiscal conservative, it makes my blood boil to see liberal hypocrisy around money, especially their outrage over whose money they deem acceptable and will accept. Donations from convicted criminals like Jeffrey Epstein are welcomed with open arms, while donations from Republican supporters are met with protests and outrage. Why should it matter who donations come from when donors don’t have any say about where the money goes or have any input into university policy? 

This week I address the liberal uproar over hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin’s $300-million donation to Harvard and how his support of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis exposes elitism and hypocrisy.  I highlight known hypocrite Elizabeth Warren who was hired as an adjunct professor by Harvard because of her Cherokee heritage (which turned out to be an exaggeration) and advocates for free college tuition despite accepting a $400,000-a-year salary. I explain how donations to universities work and donors’ role in setting university policies. I also admonish the spoiled, ungrateful students who protested this generous donation and where philanthropists should donate instead. 

“Fundraising is not about a person's ideology, political ideology. It's not about their personal views. It's about their passion for the organization or the university that they are supporting.” - Jennifer Nassour
