Hedge fund manager Ken Griffin gave at least $10 million to Ron DeSantis last year, part of the $217 million DeSantis raised.

His companies have $200 million of investments in gun and ammo companies.

Today we learned:

Harvard to rename school after top Republican donor following $300M gift

Griffin’s name will be on the graduate arts and sciences building.

Does Harvard desperately need the money? Well, they have a $52 billion endowment— the world’s largest.

So Harvard — arguably the leading institution of higher learning in the country, is proudly displaying the name of a guy:

*whose companies’ bullets and guns are killing schoolchildren and others across the country; and

*whose favorite candidate:

has pushed through anti-gay and “anti-woke” legislation;

is attacking higher education all over the state;

encourages book banning all over his state;

has worked to disenfranchise voters;

has banned AP Afro-American studies;

is campaigning against vaccines; and

has trafficked migrants out of state, leaving them to fend for themselves.

The last — using men, women and children as pawns for a stunt — is a dehumanizing act of early stage fascism. It alone disqualifies him from holding any office.

Dear Harvard:

Heed the words of Marge Gunderson:
