I object to the editorialized title. No one condemned him for giving the hospital a bunch of money. They condemned him for being Mark Zuckerberg (a human being who shouldn't have hospitals named after him on account of his being Mark Zuckerberg, so they say).

They're free to give the money back. I mean I wouldn't take money from a murderer, or some other bad person.

It's also worth noting it's not the hospital itself actually objecting to anything, it's the San Francisco City Council. I'm not sure they actually have any power over it one way or the other.

I wonder if the hospital should release a statement supporting Zuckerberg and the donation?

Politics in San Francisco are out of control. In my estimation from afar it's like the liberal version of the colloquial Alabama conservative politics.

PG also tweeted about this: "Is there another American city that would respond to someone making a $75 million donation to their hospital by passing a resolution condemning the naming of the hospital after him?"
