Hillary claims she's pro-union and anti-Uber. That's why the owner of Uber is funding her campaign!

"Clinton's first event with the Clooneys will be hosted by Shervin Pishevar, a venture capitalist who is the founder of Sherpa Ventures and is a special adviser to Uber.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/12/politics/hillary-clinton-fundraisers/index.html

"Shervin Pishevar is an entrepreneur, super angel, and venture capitalist of Iranian descent currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area in the United States. He is a partner at SherpaVentures along with Scott Stanford, and a co-founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors at Hyperloop Technologies. He is most famous for being an early major investor in Uber, an on-demand transportation company."

"Pishevar has publicly defended and praised Uber, going so far as to get a haircut to spell out the letters of Uber with his hair on the back of his head.'

Perhaps he'll just wear a wall street stovepipe hat at his fund raisers.

Thanks. Didn't know that Pishevar was connected to UBER.
