A Google strategist was allegedly caught on camera stating that the tech giant actively promotes one presidential candidate over the other, according to journalist James O’Keefe and his O’Keefe Media Group company.
Dakota Leazer—identified by O’Keefe in an undercover video as a Google Growth strategist and ad salesman—said Google is “reorienting the search engine, such that Kamala [Harris] is more favored.” As alleged in the video shared, Leazer even admitted that artificial intelligence (AI) is also programmed to lean toward the Democrat candidate. “I think Google has a belief that one side will allow them to make more money.” MRC Free Speech America studies have repeatedly exposed Google’s pro-Democrat search bias.
Leazer labeled Google as a “liberal, progressive company” that will favor whichever political party will “make more money” for them. Stunningly, Leazer alleged in the video, “this is … a coordinated effort by, like, Big Tech, big companies to try and get her to win.” Explaining further, he then repeated, “Yeah, it’s definitely coordinated.” He attributed the same pro-Harris tilt Google has to Facebook. This translates into financial profitability for Google, Leazer added. “It's all about the share of the stock price.”

“Google was essentially promoting through its ads rhetoric that was very pro-Kamala,” Leazer told the undercover journalist. “It seemed to link out to legitimate news publication sites. So, it seemed like it was an ad from PBS, but it was really an ad for the Kamala campaign.”
O’Keefe pointed out that this undercover video came out soon after Axios reported that Harris’s ads on Google were seemingly rewriting news headlines to give a more pro-Harris bias. In the video, the man allegedly identified as Leazer claimed that Big Tech and billionaires “want Kamala to be our next CEO,” ie., president. However, he added, “I don’t think there’s a chance that she wins.”
He asserted that Google had deliberately weaponized fear rhetoric. “I think whatever demographic is most fearful is going to be most profitable,” Leazer apparently said in the video, identifying leftists as such a demographic. “I think right now the left is more fearful than the right is.”
MRC studies have repeatedly shown that Google’s Search suppressed websites for GOP presidential candidates, including former President Donald Trump, and that the tech giant’s search promoted Harris, even when users searched for Trump.
