Open letter signed by 800+ founders, VCs, and others: Sequoia must act after Shaun Maguire said Zohran Mamdani “comes from a culture that lies about everything”
If venture capitalists don’t like him, I do.
This smells so much like class warfare like nothing else in recent memory
I mean... I can think of a lot worse things in recent days
This one is just extra transparent, because they're panicking
Wait—I thought the VCs were actually saying that his comments were hateful…which they are.
I get your sentiment, and generally I agree, but in this case aren’t they right? This guy said something hateful and Islamosist (not a word but “Islamophobia” isn’t strong enough and actually, I think, proliferates hatred toward Islamic people) and the VCs actually came together to sign a letter saying it was wrong.
Am I misunderstanding this super weirdly formatted website?
No, you're right. But also,
Nowhere in that article does it suggest that any of these VCs support Mamdani. They're only trying to distance themselves from someone who said the quiet part out loud.
