Podcaster Jon Favreau accused Anthropic co-founder of embedding woke leftist ideology in AI models via loyalty to classical liberal democracy in an X post between 7:46 PM and 8:15 PM UTC on Jan. 26, 2026, according to the post at https://x.com/jonfavs/status/2015875625953984898. Writer Jeet Heer criticized MAGA supporters for likening Minnesota protesters to the Iraqi insurgency, Taliban, and Viet Cong during the same 29-minute window, per his X post. Favreau wrote, "Yes, we're very aware that you and your husband hate America's system of liberal democracy... Co-Founder of Anthropic: 'My deep loyalty is to the principles of classical liberal democracy.' If this is what they say publicly, this is how their AI model is programmed. Woke and deeply leftist ideology is what they want you to rely upon." Heer posted, "MAGA military geniuses are talking about Minnesota protestors like they are the Iraqi insurgency, the Taliban, and the Viet Cong all rolled into one," according to https://x.com/HeerJeet/status/2015874239203782761. These social media comments follow earlier developments on Jan. 26 involving Minnesota and federal protests linked to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by agents in Minneapolis, as DHS confirmed body-worn camera video exists and Senate Democrats opposed DHS funding citing ICE conduct, per previous reports.
