Mark Pincus is one of the high-tech billionaires who supported Trump in the 2024 election. A lifelong Democrat, Pincus’s shift in support of Trump was seen as significant.
In a recent appearance on the All In Podcast, Pincus revealed that his red-pill moment came when he learned that the narrative around Trump’s ‘fine people’ comments was a media-driven hoax.
The Daily Wire reports:
Tech Billionaire And Lifelong Democrat Mark Pincus Reveals His ‘Red Pill Moment’Pincus made the remarks during an episode of “The All-In Podcast” this week while discussing how he would read blogs that would reveal information faster than mainstream media and would often contradict what was being reported.“I started feeling more uncomfortable and queasy with what was going on with mainstream media,” he said after coming across multiple examples of mainstream publications hiding information from the public.“Then, in May 2024, I read an article that talked about Trump’s speech in Charlottesville, where he said there are good people on both sides, and the article said it was completely propaganda and didn’t actually reflect what he said,” Pincus said. “That he denounced the Nazis a bunch of times in his speech, so then I went and watched that video, and that was my red pill moment.”“I think it was for a lot of people because it wasn’t just the media or politicians spinning it,” he continued. “That speech was one of the pillars of why you were supposed to hate Trump. Then you see Biden say that’s why he had to run a second time, and Obama says it, and Biden brings it up again at the DNC.”
Watch the video below:
It was absolutely maddening to watch Biden, Obama, Harris, and others repeat this lie on the campaign trail with no pushback from the media after it had been debunked repeatedly.
Dilbert creator and Trump supporter Scott Adams has called out this hoax many times, and he still is.
Even the left-wing ‘fact checking’ site Snopes eventually got the story right.
