Apple CEO Tim Cook is planning to help Hillary Clinton in her bid to become the first female president in U.S. history by hosting a fundraiser in Silicon Valley next month for the Democratic nominee.
Cook helped House Speaker Paul Ryan score some sweet Silicon Valley funding at a breakfast fundraiser last month. Now the the Apple CEO is teaming up with the Hillary Victory Fund.
Apple’s VP of environment, policy and social initiatives, Lisa Jackson, will join Tim Cook at the fundraiser, according to a report from Buzzfeed. Jackson and Clinton worked together in the Obama administration when she served as the head of the EPA as secretary of state.
The Clinton fundraiser is being hosted by Tim Cook as a private citizen and is not affiliated with Apple in any way, as the company doesn’t donate to political candidates and does not have a political action committee.
Getting into Cook’s fundraiser will cost you a contribution of either $50,000, $10,000 or $2,700. The event will be held on August 24th at a location still to be determined.

I wouldn’t pay one cent to fund that lying traitor. Good luck Cook. What a disappointment.
Traitor? Like Trump who have sacrificed NOTHING? And encouraged Russia to hack our servers to get email?
The things Trump is accused of pale in comparison to the things Hillary has actually done.

Whats the bigger issue: DNC servers hacked or that DNC tried to railroad Bernie. OR that the “impartial journalists” asked DNC for approval for the verbiage of the stories they were going to be posted. Server hacking is just the smokescreen for covering obvious manipulation of primary process. An person who took responsibility? She resigned and now works for Hillary.
“Facts be damned! We want the orange fat head for President! He’ll fix our miserable lives and make us feel better.”, said the victims of their own poor judgement.
Her crimes be damned! She’s a liberal fascist elitist and the law doesn’t apply to her. Heil Hitlery!
I think it would have been prudent of Cook to stay out of this political nightmare that the US has to endure until November.
CEO’s of major companies and News outlets should be a-political. Unfortunately, when politics get mixed with big corporation’s money, then its never good for either companies or politics.
Lets assume Trump wins, he might want to retaliate and have Republican Congress pass the law taxing Apple’s offshore cash stash. Who loses? Apple and its shareholders.
Mr. Cook please concentrate on making great products and on taking my money for your products. Please leave politics alone.
Looks like one big fag party. Tim Cook is a fag, Paul Ryan is a fag,
Clinton’s running mate is a fag and everyone who uses Apple products are
fags
Ok then why are you even reading Cultofmac? Hooo! I get it: you’re a fag too…
Man!! Don’t cross that line…It’s 2016!
Tim should stick to what he knows best and go suck a dick.
OMG. To be a boss off Apple doesn’t mean, that you have to be clever in everything. To support Hillary is the most stupid thing, what can Cook make.
I’ll comment on the writer. hrc is not running to be “the first female president”. She running to be the president. Your words invite stupid people the do a stupid thing; vote simply to be part of history and not to vote intelligently. Watch your choice of words. And by the way, why are you writing about this anyway? Keep Cult of Mac out of politics!
While I may not agree with something Tim is doing in his personal time, let’s just remember that it’s Tim doing this and it’s not being done on Apple’s behalf.
everything he is, is a reflection of Apple.. until he retires. period.
so until then, everyone sees him as Apple..
You’re right, not everyone is smart enough to decipher the difference, I suppose.
