Quibi CEO Meg Whitman, who ran for governor of California as a Republican, will speak at the DNC

Quibi CEO Meg Whitman will speak at the Democratic National Convention Monday night, the DNC announced.

Whitman previously ran for governor of California as a Republican. She is one of several current and former Republicans who oppose Trump billed to speak at the DNC, including John Kasich. Whitman is billed as "Former CEO of Hewlett Packard" on the DNC speaker list, which makes no mention of Quibi.Quibi CEO Meg Whitman will get a quick bit of the spotlight at the Democratic National Convention Monday night, the DNC has announced.

Whitman is one of several current and former Republicans who oppose Trump slated to speak at the DNC Monday. Others include former Ohio Gov. John Kasich and former Rep. Susan Molinari, a New York Republican who later served as a Google VP. It's not her first foray into politics — Whitman was the Republican Party's nominee for governor of California in 2010, but was

She's never been for Trump. For a lousy businessman Trump has done wonders for my income and job prospects. Biden in 47 years has done nothing to help me or people in the middle.

Ran and.................lost. Backed a looser in 2016. Not relevant in either party.

mehdirhasan That sucks.

You should love her. She’s rich, successful and wants her taxes raised.

HASBEEN.

Disgraceful.

Why?

I’m not surprised. Maybe she would like to run for office in California and win.

Quibi? That short video app that no one watches?

I don’t know what is crappier: Quibi, or this news.

Democrats! GOP don't want to support the postal service. Dive by Drop Your Ballot. DrivebyDropBallot RETWEET!

Ahhhhb no skip it

Whitman tanked her campaign for Gov during a panel w/Jerry Brown, Arnold & Matt Lauer. She HAD the room of 14k women - until she refused to stop negative campaign ads as Brown had, foolishly doubling down. A few boo’s grew to a roar (even Brown tried to calm crowd)! It was WILD.

Gumsy McForehead’s back, back again

She was a failure but her husband had the money to have her become a CEO with minimal qualifications. 🇺🇸

Lay down with dogs, get up with fleas

Why? She is a huge racist! Look at her campaign for CA govenor, totally anti immigrant and Latinx.

❣️❣️❣️❣️

You forgot - AND LOST!😂

why?

Need those Quibi subs huh

well, maybe she can utilize what finished her off to an advantage-- one of the most devastating political ads of all time:

This is to help the market business leaders want to calm the people and let it be known we are to BuildBackBetter

Meg Whitman is one of those billionaires Bernie despises.

alice4u2010 Why? This sounds like a snore! Why not someone good like DavidJollyFL or SteveSchmidtSES?

What a repulsive bunch. I can't wait to vote for Trump.

Please put your hands together for 2013’s “Most Underachieving CEO” ...!!!!

There are three things there that should make that a no.

Ugh. I don't like her. But hopefully she'll say things that will encourage republicans to vote BidenHarris2020ToSaveAmerica

MegWhitman DemocRATS must be really hurting for entertainment if Mrs Potato Head is speaking. MassiveEgo SiliconValleyShill TrumpPence2020 realDonaldTrump TuckerCarlson seanhannity IngrahamAngle marklevinshow

My gawd. I don’t even WANT to see her speak.

Meg Whitman = GAG!

WHY are so called TheDemocrats giving these GOPfascists a platform? CON kiss-up, kick down policies crashed the economy 3x in 100 years I'm sure she'll have more than 60 seconds, like AOC, right?

62% of the Democratic Party said they don't want Republicans speaking. 🤦 Democrats don't want your vote. They simple assume they're entitled to your anti-Trump vote. They either learned nothing from 2016, or they think we're desperate and are exploiting that. We're pawns.

To be fair, giving a speech nobody wants to watch is a pretty on-brand move for the CEO of Quibi.

Why tf is the Democratic Party housing republicans... man this party ain’t for me anymore

It's like.... Democrats are trying to make it so our two-party system only appeals to Trump Republicans and non-Trump Republicans. The rest of us are simply told that we have to vote against Trump. In 2016, that failed. Now tens of millions are without jobs and going homeless.

WAIT, SHE IS THE QUIBI CEO?!? Oh that makes so much sense why it's failing. She destroys everything she touches. See also HP.

Lol

You not gone tell me CEOs arent Reptilian look at dis bih

dnc TomPerez keithellison Why? Why are we giving these guys a megaphone at our convention? Unless they have had a complete change of heart on their worldview (they haven't), we should be promoting OUR ideas and policies.

Oh my god, why are they giving away the farm?

4mmjf Really?!

4mmjf Yea.

Will it be a 2 minute Quibi original? Dumbideas Quibiquibiquibiwhatwereyouthinking Failedexperiment

mehdirhasan Thomas the tank engine had never seen such bullshit.

Oh, America. Best of luck.

But only in seven minute increments...

The heck with her… I want to hear SenSherrodBrown 📣📣📣

If we wanted to hear from Republicans, we'd watch their convention. Shame on Dems for giving valuable time at our convention to people who have advanced the Republican agenda to the detriment of so many Americans. Just disgusting!

I hate this but ok, we need to be act strategically.

. - Why is Meg Whitman speaking a good thing? During her run for governor in CA, I heard a radio commercial in which the male voice talked about 'Nazi Pelosi'. . . instead of 'Nancy'. . .if not HER personally, her people were just as despicable as Trump -

Why?

sasha_velour damn :/

mehdirhasan Meh.

Obviously not a Republican.

The Bernie bro far lefties are out in force,. Here is a tip- when trying to actually win an election do not follow what Bernie bros suggest. Brilliant move by DNC having three successful women on stage

The DNC caved! Just like this new Quibi subscriber!

mehdirhasan Pathetic this does not surprise me in the slightest !

WajahatAli Why.

WajahatAli Guess it be less than 10 minutes

People need to realize this is not about red or blue. It's about green. That's exactly why we discuss Diversity from an economic lens.

mehdirhasan Meg and ole John are NOT worthy to speak at our convention because they can't bring the numbers that give them that privilege. They do NOT get any say in platform or anything else we do at OUR convention.

mehdirhasan So, a failing CEO who ran a failed campaign....as a Republican. I mean, yeah, she's perfect! Gtfoh.

These fucks don’t represent us, and we dont want them too. You can force feed this shit but it doesnt change thst fact we will oust you eventually. No matter hard hard establishment clings. The end is near.

dnc bending over backwards to get non Democrats to speak while defecating on progressives like Ilhan AOC RashidaTlaib ! Shame on you TomPerez !

mehdirhasan Why TomPerez?

mehdirhasan God I hated her and how she literally tried to buy the election in my state. This is a terrible idea.

mehdirhasan Will she speak in 6 minute increments?

mehdirhasan Founder of quibi. Oh so out of touch rich person. Sounds wonderful. Check this out to learn about the absurdity of Quibi and how they have almost spent $2 billion on this terrible idea

mehdirhasan Ugh... 🤦🏻‍♀️

mehdirhasan There's no reason for this.

mehdirhasan Quibi is a union busting scheme, which makes this even more galling. Dems thoroughly abandoned organized labor in policy long ago, but they don't even care about symbolic signals of support anymore.

mehdirhasan Why why why

mehdirhasan Is the DNC wanting to look like mitt Romney’s party? They are doing a great job pushing away young voters!

mehdirhasan DNC the same woman who supported the deportation of her home staff? Great work DNC...what a joke.

Quibi fits right in with the DNC. Out of touch rich people coming up with ideas for what kids these days want. Both are the epitome of the 'how do you do, fellow kids?' meme.

katzenbrau

mehdirhasan Why?

She had better keep it short.

You've got to be fucking kidding DNC

Who

More Republicans are speaking that progressives 🤣🤣🤣❤️

Gross, why?

So she's a democrat then. Meg Whitman is a democrat.
