No, it isn't.  He's given a half a billion dollars to his alma mater.  What is wrong with that?[/quote]. It’s because he is not a democrat. [/quote]

It isn’t bc he isn’t a democrat.  It’s bc it’s gun money.  Harvard should care about the source of its donations.  If they don’t, then some of us will have an opinion about that.

“Griffin’s stature as a major political donor to rightwing politicians and his company’s investments in firearm and ammunition manufacturers.
Harvard professor lobbied SEC on behalf of oil firm that pays her lavishly, emails show
Griffin’s companies held investments in gun and ammunition manufacturers worth more than $139m as of March 2022, according to Chicago NPR affiliate WBEZ. These included shares in US gun manufacturers Smith & Wesson and Sturm Ruger, as well as US ammunition makers Olin Corp, Vista Outdoor and Ammo Inc. As of 31 December 2022, the value of Citadel’s holdings in those five companies had increased to more than $200m, according to a Guardian review of SEC filings.”[/quote]

So?  This is good money not bad.  [/quote]
