Rep. Ro Khanna defends fundraiser at David Sacks’s home after supporting Silicon Valley Bank bailout
U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna, the Democratic congressman from Silicon Valley, is defending his plans to hold a fundraiser at the home of venture capitalist David Sacks in the wake of advocating for government intervention in Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse.
snip================
The congressman also said he was unaware that Sacks — who co-founded Craft Ventures and was also an angel investor in companies like Facebook, META, UBER, and Airbnb Inc — cowrote a book with then-fellow Stanford University student Peter Thiel called “The Diversity Myth: Multiculturalism and Political Intolerance on Campus.” Among other things, the 1990s book criticized African American history courses, gender studies, “the extreme focus on racism” and referred to date rape as “belated regret.” Sacks later apologized for what he called his “former views” and said he was embarrassed by them.
