FROM NY POST: Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia has revealed he ditched the Democrats to back President Trump after realizing the US border crisis was spiraling out of control — insisting he could no longer support a party that “lets in criminals and dangerous people into our country.”
The tech billionaire was a lifelong Dem — until around 2021, when he started shifting towards the Republican party because of his concern at the lack of immigration enforcement under then-President Joe Biden.
After reaching out to Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, a friend, for help piecing together what he was missing, Gebbia said he “started to pull on that thread” and zero in on other issues.
“I remember just being like, ‘Holy cow, this is crazy,’” Gebbia said during an interview on the Katie Miller Podcast on Monday.
“Like, ‘This is not right, this is a real problem and there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be enforcing the laws of our country and our border.’”
He went on, “I sort of, you know, begin to look at other topics and eventually came to the point where I don’t think I can support a political party that wants to have an open border, that lets in criminals and dangerous people into our country.”
“That’s just not something I can get behind,” he said.
