The Strange Politics of Peter Thiel, Trump’s Most Unlikely Supporter

Re:The Strange Politics of Peter Thiel, Trump’s Most Unlikel... by jedberg on Thursday July 21, 2016 @01:08PM (#12138312)

My favorite quote from this article (and slightly off topic): "On July 14 a group of 140 or so tech industry figures including Slack’s Stewart Butterfield, EBay founder Pierre Omidyar, Twitter co-founder Evan Williams, and, for some reason, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, released an open letter decrying Trump’s candidacy."

Does anyone know why Jesse Jackson was included in that open letter?

To hide the fact that they're nothing more than a bunch of privileged straight white males?
