People are ready to #DeleteGrindr after seeing these troubling tweets from the app’s incoming CEO

queerty.com:

previously reported, “dating” app Grindr is moving forward with plans to take the company public to the tune of a $2.1 billion valuation range, and has tapped George Arison as its new CEO to oversee the processArison, 44, is the co-founder and former CEO of e-commerce marketplace Shift Technologies, Inc., and will start at Grindr on October 19 as one of the “few openly gay men leading a public company,” per Bloomberg.Related: Would life be better if Grindr didn’t allow you to take screenshots?And while that might sound like a win for the gays, previous tweets of Arison’s have been resurfacing, and, well?

Things are not looking good.A month after Grindr announced Arison as CEO, Twitter users are resharing a number of conservative-leaning political tweets from the executive, which include praise for former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and *shudders* Senator Mitch McConnell.In February 2020, Arison responded to a since-deleted tweet from then-presidential hopeful Michael Bloomberg, stating that he is a conservative who agrees with “some Trump policies” (though he doesn’t specify which).FYI I am a conservative & agree with some Trump policies.

I think at least 10% of Republican voters and 1/3 of moderate independents are the same (like some Trump policies, can’t stand having him in office).

So Dems need a nominee who can tap into this electoral spectrum.— George Arison (@georgearison) February 28, 2020But that’s not all.
