Fox News: PA Senate Candidate David McCormick takes fire for corporate activism

quote:

David McCormick, who served as CEO of Bridgewater Associates from 2020-2022, has staked out conservative positions in the Pennsylvania U.S. Senate race, but conservatives have raised concerns about his corporate record due to his firm's advocacy on transgender issues – from covering transgender surgery for employees to hosting a transgender activist.

During his tenure, Bridgewater offered employees "fully paid coverage for gender transitions" as part of an initiative to support "underrepresented groups."

The firm promoted Glennda Tostone, a self-described "uber-queer" LGBT activist, to speak on gender identity, claiming that gender is on a spectrum and gender identification is not "fixed over the course of a person’s life."

He's probably gotten money from Bridgewater Associates in the past.

At least it's only being offered to adults and not children.

McCormick has that RINO look. It's in the DNA.

Cruz is an original Levinite….he took on the MAGA persona after Trump beat Teddy into submission….same thing with Levin.

Nope. Cruz was a right wing conservative before Trump was. He was head of the student conservatives at Harvard and that's a tough place to be right wing.
During the primary debates they got along better than any two candidates until the end. Cruz got pissed for Trump picking on his wife.
After the election he got over it and supported Trump's initiatives.
If Trump or DeSantis become President I think Cruz would be an excellent pick for Supreme Court.

I understand Cruz was considered a Reagan style conservative but that isn’t the same as MAGA/America First…..Trump owns the current America First/conservative populist movement….Cruz and Levin jumped on the bandwagon.

You were petulant AF and we were bitter enemies for the better part of a year over Cruz vs Trump.

Kudos to you for coming around tho mate. Id be honoured to share a bunk with you when we're put in camps

Why would anyone care about the benefits that a private company choose to provide its employees?

A right wing conservative doesn't act like a little bitch about Jan.6th like Cruz did.

I don't know about Levin but Cruz has never changed his America first attitude or style. The guy who really has copied from Trump is DeSantis. Trump emboldened him to adopt a 'frick you' attitude toward the press.
It's Trump that changed in the long term. He was a democrat.

Cruz didn't make a big deal of it. He's said a few things I disagree with but he's also gone after Ray Epps. Considering he's put his arse on the line numerous times, as opposed to Cornyn and Cassidy and the other RINO's, I won't overplay it. If people are still pissed because they think Cruz tried to take their Trump away in 2016, it's time to put your big boy pants on. You can have them both, and they're both good guys.
