Airbnb boss dumped Dems over border crisis — couldn’t back party that ‘lets in criminals and dangerous people’
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.
“I remember just being like, ‘Holy cow, this is crazy,’” Gebbia told the Katie Miller Podcast on Monday.
After reaching out to his friend, Jared Kushner, for help piecing together what he was missing, Gebbia said he “started to pull on that thread” on other concerns.
