Warren -- Having Dinner With Trump: ‘This is Corruption, Plain and Simple’
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is escalating her battle with America’s rich and powerful — this time taking aim at a social media titan.
In a scathing tweet, Warren slammed Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg for secretly meeting President Donald Trump for dinner at the White House last month — as reported by NBC News.
“Amid antitrust scrutiny, Facebook is going on a charm offensive with Republican lawmakers,” Warren wrote. “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.”
According to the NBC report, Zuckerberg dined with Trump and Peter Thiel while in Washington last month to testify on Capitol Hill. Facebook claimed the meeting was above board.
“As is normal for a CEO of a major U.S. company, Mark accepted an invitation to have dinner with the President and First Lady at the White House,” a Facebook spokesperson told NBC in a statement.
This latest skirmish between the Massachusetts senator and Zuckerberg follows the Facebook CEO being captured, in leaked audio, saying that a Warren presidency would pose an “existential threat” to Facebook.

She's right, but she's losing speed so she seems a bit unhinged.

When they say 'dined' do they actually mean 'pass the gravy who wants dessert'? Because I don't know if I could digest food having a heated discussion about something. Talking with my mouth full.

No, she's not.
Walks like a duck...it has the appearance of impropriety and should have been avoided.
Who believes that that dirtbag Thiel did not raise certain "concerns" to cheeto or that cheeto in turn did not "suggest" actions that would be mutually beneficial.

Of course, Tim Cook is not in town to testify under oath to Congress, nor is Apple the center of controversy around its role in the 2016 election. Finally, Tim Cook is not a self-loathing gay man like Peter Thiel.
But, please continue with your faulty whataboutisms and obfuscation.
