Kevin Cernekee, a fmr. Google engineer who told several media outlets he was fired for being an outspoken conservative, had a history of defending white nationalist ideals, according to an internal email Cernekee denies he agrees with alt-right viewpoints
profile published Thursday. In each interview, Cernekee, who didn’t immediately respond to CNBC requests for comment, claims he was terminated in 2018 because he was conservative and he was “bullied.”
Started a thread criticizing how Google’s Chrome Web Store had removed the Coincidence Detector app, a Chrome plugin that wraps three sets of parentheses around names on web pages that appear to be Jewish.
In his email, Wacker alleged that Google sent both him and Cernekee to an external organization for mediation. Ultimately, no one was punished, he added. While I strongly disagree with Spencer’s views, I found this precedent absolutely horrifying, and I spoke out. I also spoke out against a masked gang of Antifa thugs who violently attacked a skinhead group. I would have unabashedly defended far-left activists if violent right wingers had attacked them. I have been steadfast in maintaining that the rule of law and the right to peacefully protest are cornerstones of our society.
