A former liberal Silicon Valley mogul says she has resigned from the Biden administration and backing Donald Trump, as she tries to sell some expensive Democratic collectibles.
Allison Huynh, 48, is co-creator of robotics and artificial intelligence designers Willow Garage, which was bought by Google. She also created many of the first e-commerce websites.
Huynh, a Vietnamese immigrant who attended Stanford on a full scholarship, says she and her ex-husband and veteran Google programmer Scott Hassan helped get Big Tech excited about Barack Obama in 2008.
He now claims Joe Biden is “out of touch” and supports Donald Trump as an “independent” in 2024.
Huynh is so committed to changing her politics that Democratic collectibles she once bought out of her enthusiasm for Obama are now being sold: a rocking chair that belonged to John F. Kennedy, the art of Shepard Fairey’s famous HOPE posters.
Former liberal Silicon Valley mogul Allison Huynh says she has resigned from the Biden administration and backing Donald Trump, as she tries to sell some expensive Democratic collectibles.
‘I’m cleaning the house. I was a liberal and a Democrat my whole life, but when things aren’t working for us right now, it’s better to move on and let other people enjoy them. “They don’t have much meaning to me right now,” he told New York Post.
Huynh, who bought the sign for about $1 million and the chair for $100,000, takes credit for Google co-founders Sergey Brin, Larry Page and Eric Schmidt joining Team Obama in 2008 at fundraisers. for between $50,000 and $100,000 a plate.
She shares the same kind of disappointment with those tech leaders as she did with the Obama presidency.
‘Obama began with an aspirational message that resonated with me; it was about equality, women and minorities; “Biden projected the image of being cool and modern,” he said.
‘But where are we now? Immigrants come to our country and commit crimes. . . Big tech tracks you and knows everything about you. But if you have a problem with any (technological) service, you will never be able to communicate with anyone.”
He appears to have turned against Democrats over much of what has happened in recent years, from COVID to liberal policies in major cities to immigration.
She recently visited the former president at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida for a fundraiser and came away delighted.
‘I was surprised when I met Donald Trump. He was light, funny and smart. The people there were down to earth,’ he said.

She described Trump, 78, as “knowledgeable” and understanding of the issues most important to her.
His adopted home, San Francisco, shows him the flaws of unbridled liberalism.
“We are allowing heroin addicts to shoot themselves in public, violent attacks against Asians in Chinatown, and looting of our grocery stores and shopping malls,” he said, calling the city “a failed scientific experiment for super ideas and ideals.” leftists.”
Huynh, who made headlines in 2021 with her nasty divorce from Hassan in 2020, came to the United States in 1982 from Saigon after her pilot father immigrated legally in 1975.
He says Democrats’ refusal to address illegal immigration is a big reason for their change in tone.
‘I am totally in favor of immigrant workers, but not in favor of open admission of immigrants. “We have to differentiate between legal immigrants who come here and work hard and illegal immigrants who come here and commit crimes,” he stated.
Huynh adds that Democrats completely lost their way in dealing with COVID, especially for people like her who live in big cities.
‘The Republicans were smarter. They wanted to see who got sick. Young people suffered the most, although they were at low risk. “We had lazy politics in California,” he said.

“Many of the super-liberal tech billionaires left the country for private islands, superyachts and properties in New Zealand,” he added.
While ‘out of touch’ Biden doesn’t get her vote, she says Trump will definitely get it after meeting with him.
‘His rhetoric is entertaining. But policies and politics make sense. I think Trump is participating. I would like to date Trump. ‘He’s a really cool guy.’
