Former Democratic operative who raised millions for Obama is now endorsing TRUMP

06/21/2024 / By Ramon Tomey

Allison Huynh, a former Democratic operative who raised millions for former President Barack Obama, has now seen the light and voiced out her intent to endorse Republican former President Donald Trump. Huynh lamented that the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW is “asleep at the wheel.”

“He’s allowed Big Tech as well as the looters to take over Silicon Valley. San Francisco has been the science experiment that’s gone awry,” Huynh said about Biden during an appearance on “Fox & Friends First.”

“I wake up in the morning, [there are] no grocery stores to go, [there are] no malls to take my teenage girls shopping to. The streets are not safe. There are more fentanyl users and dealers than high school students in our once great city.”

According to the New York Post, Huynh and her then-husband Scott Hassan helped raise millions of dollars for the Obama campaign in 2008. The two first met in 2000 and were married the year after, but divorced acrimoniously in 2020 – after 19 years of marriage.

She mentioned that her role at the time “was to bring in Silicon Valley people for the $50,000- and $100,000-per-plate dinners.” With the help of her husband, a programmer at Google, they managed to bring in the search engine giant’s co-founders Sergey Brin, Larry Page and Eric Schmidt.

But sixteen years on, Huynh has stopped identifying as a left-leaning Democrat and has branded herself as a Trump-supporting independent. Fox News also mentioned that she has recently traveled to Mar-a-Lago in Florida to support the real estate mogul at a fundraiser.

The Post also mentioned that Huynh is also selling her collection of Democratic collectibles. These include a rocking chair that once belonged to the late President John F. Kennedy, which they purchased for nearly $100,000 at an auction in 2005. It also includes the art piece by artist Shepard Fairey that served as an inspiration for the Obama’s Hope posters, which Huynh and Hassan paid more than $1 million for in 2008.

Huynh admits to being blinded by Obama’s platform of “hope”

According to Fox News, Huynh’s nature as a “hopeful” person and Obama’s “great ideas” led her to support the then-U.S. senator for Illinois in his presidential campaign.

“When [Obama] came into power, he was very scared. In his biography, he talked about being afraid of doing things because he didn’t want to ruin it for future Black leaders and Black presidents. And therefore, he let the government bureaucracy and red tape take over him,” she said.

Huynh noted how things improved when Trump took over in 2016 but took a turn for the worse when Biden – who served as Obama’s vice president – assumed the presidency in 2020.

“Biden is changing that. Right now, it’s very hard in this country to make money unless you work for a Big Tech company. If you’re an emerging tech company, they’re driving you offshore.”

The 48-year-old Huynh, herself an immigrant from Vietnam, remarked that border policy is another issue that has led her to abandon her Democratic alignment. Since becoming president, Biden has espoused an open border policy that has fueled the ongoing migrant crisis.

“I am all for hardworking immigrants, but not for open admission of immigrants,” she clarified. “We have to differentiate between legal immigrants who come here and work hard, and illegal immigrants who come here and commit crimes.” (Related: Breitbart’s Alex Marlow: Biden favoring OPEN BORDERS to keep wages down and Democrats in power.)

In contrast, Huynh had nothing but positive words for Trump. She noted how he was “very specific with coming out with great ideas to allow people to grow great wealth.”

“I was surprised when I met Trump. He was light, funny and intelligent. The people there were down-to-earth,” she said.

“I was happy with how knowledgeable Trump is about what is going on in the country and the economy. He had the information. He is all there with the things that matter.”
