Tom Perkins Became the Least Likable Man in America Last Night
[There was a video here]
Last night, Bloomberg West's Emily Chang treated us to one of the greatest TV interviews in recent memory, as she sat down with venture capitalist-cum-cartoon villain Tom Perkins. He not only stood by his Nazi-invoking defense of the rich, he clearly gives no fucks about being an inhuman oligarch. Here are all the best (worst) moments.
Perkins, in his rambling defense of the 1 percent and panegyric to his own career and affluence, said demonizing the rich is "crazy." If you watch our highlight reel above, you can certainly conclude the man knows crazy when he sees it.
Still—you have to admit—his honesty is welcome. Most people in his field make some attempt to hide how terrible they are.
