A former Google engineer claims that he was blacklisted, bullied
and ultimately fired by the tech giant, all because of his
conservative beliefs, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Kevin Cernekee told the Journal that, after his posts to the
tech giant’s internal message boards in early 2015 annoyed some
of his colleagues, he received an official warning from Google’s
human resources. His conduct had reportedly been deemed
“disrespectful and insubordinate.”

The Journal reports that around that time a senior manager at
the company wrote on the message boards that he had added the
engineer to a “written blacklist” of Google employees he
wouldn’t work with.

“There’s a big political angle, and they treat the two sides
differently.”

Cernekee spent the next three years fighting the Mountain View,
Calif.-based firm over the alleged violations and arguing that
conservative employees were being treated unfairly, according to
the report, which cites interviews, documents and copies of
posts on the company’s internal message boards.

He was fired in June 2018 after Google told him that he was
terminated for misuse of the company’s equipment, including its
software system for remote access. However, Cernekee, who
describes himself as a whistleblower, maintains that he was
terminated for his outspoken conservative views.

“Historically, there’s been a lot of bullying at Google,” he
told the Journal. “There’s a big political angle, and they treat
the two sides differently.”

“We enforce our workplace policies without regard to political
viewpoint," said a Google spokesperson, in an emailed statement
to Fox News. "Lively debate is a hallmark of Google’s workplace
culture; harassment, discrimination, and the unauthorized access
and theft of confidential company information is not.”

Cernekee was fired for multiple violations of company policies,
according to Google.

Cernekee has also reportedly filed complaints with the National
Labor Relations Board. Some of the complaints were denied, but
the original is pending, according to The Journal.

The National Labor Relations Board declined to comment when
contacted by Fox News.

Allegations of anti-conservative bias continue to swirl around
Google. Republican lawmakers recently criticized Google during a
Senate Judiciary Committee hearing into allegations of bias
against conservatives and censorship of conservative groups on
the company’s platforms.

CONSERVATIVES, AS SLAIN REPORTER'S FATHER CALLS FOR REGULATION 

Last year, James Damore, a onetime Google employee who was fired
after he wrote a memo criticizing the firm for pushing
diversity, filed a class-action lawsuit against the tech giant.
Damore is now in arbitration with Google.

Damore was fired in 2017 after he wrote a memo criticizing
Google for pushing mentoring and diversity programs and for
“alienating conservatives.” He also blamed biological
differences for the relative lack of women in tech.

Data from the Federal Election Commission compiled and analyzed
by Recode, recently found that Google employees are donating
heavily to Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. This is despite
the fact both Democratic presidential candidates are calling for
the breakup of Google's parent company, Alphabet.
