RFK Jr. running mate Nicole Shanahan tells Roseanne Barr ‘tech broke politics’

Nicole Shanahan, the Silicon Valley attorney who was Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s running mate before he suspended his presidential campaign, recently made an appearance on Roseanne Barr's podcast to share her insights into how the Democratic Party has become intertwined with major tech corporations in Silicon Valley.

Shanahan pointed to the 2016 election, specifically the blame placed by the tech world on Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for Hillary Clinton's loss to Donald Trump. "Mark Zuckerberg was blamed for the loss of Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump," she explained, referencing the Russia-gate scandal and the controversy surrounding Cambridge Analytica's use of Facebook data.

“This was made a massive deal in Silicon Valley. It changed everything,” Shanahan continued. “It made everyone realize in the valley that this little motley crew of wealthy millennial assholes were changing the entire landscape of geopolitics.”

Shanahan went on to describe how political fundraising in Silicon Valley transformed in the aftermath, with tech founders creating sophisticated, politically oriented organizations.
