OAKLAND, Calif. (Reuters) – Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai described “injustice and violence” at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday over the U.S. presidential election as “the antithesis of democracy.”
“Holding free and safe elections and peacefully resolving our differences is fundamental to democratic activity. The United States has a long and proud history of doing this, ”Pichai wrote to the company after supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the government building that houses Congress.
“It is the injustice and violence that is happening on Capitol Hill today against democracy and we strongly condemn it,” he said.
