House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) slammed Google as part of his ongoing criticism of the company's alleged bias against conservatives, mentioning its work with China, its search results accidentally showing one of the ideologies of the California Republican Party as “Nazism”, and for work it did to mobilize the Latino vote. “It’s their own executive that they said they have a silent donation where they tried to help people to help Hillary,” he said, referencing a report by Fox News’ Tucker Carlson that described an email sent by Google’s Multicultural Marketing department head. The email, which was published by Breitbart, shows Eliana Murillo describing the company’s efforts to help non-partisan Latino voter mobilization non-profit, which Murillo described as a “silent donation.” The emails don’t show Murillo expressing support for a candidate with the mobilization efforts. Regardless, Majority Leader McCarthy wrote on Sept 11 that Google “[c]laims to be fair, but gave a 'silent donation' to a left-wing group to stop Trump." He wrote, "It’s time for @Google to answer some ?’s An invite will be on its way."
