MAGA commentator Jack Posobiec said the outrage over Astronomer’s former CEO Andy Byron was largely because he’s white and straight. In an interview, Posobiec said Leftists are orchestrating the attack as they hate CEOs and also white, straight people. “You look at some of the candidates now that are being embraced, whether it be Zohran Mamdani, in New York City or whether it be this guy, Omar Fateh, who just won the endorsement of the Democrats in the Minneapolis mayor’s race, which essentially means, you know, he’s well on his way to becoming the next mayor,” Posobiec said. “They offer full-on free stuff. They offer, hey, we are going to go to all the white people, take away their stuff, and the rich CEOs.““All those CEO memes that were going around this weekend, the, you know, oh, this guy, he had an affair, Coldplay, et cetera, et cetera. Keep in mind that, once again, all those CEO memes that were running around this weekend were going viral because leftists hate CEOs. And specifically, they hate straight white CEOs,” he said. “If they were not straight, if that was not a white couple, guess what, I guarantee you you would have not seen the response that you did this weekend,” he said. Andy Byron was seen canoodling with his company’s HR chief at the Boston concert of Coldplay, where the jumbotron captured them and their awkward reaction of hiding their faces was captured by others who were present at the concert. The video went viral, with people identifying them as the CEO and the HR chief leading to a major backlash. Astronomer, the company, announced an investigation, placed both of them on leave and then Andy Byron resigned. New Astronomer CEO Pete DeJoy issued a statement Monday in which he said the spotlight on their small startup has been unusual and surreal for the team. Their company has become a household name though not the way he would have liked it to be, he said.
