When a business gets involved in politics and it backfires

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell says products were dropped from major retailers after voter fraud claims (yahoo.com)


See him advertising on television now with discounted prices. Wonder if his business will survive the scandal.

You’re joking right? Pretty much all the big tech businesses are eyeballs deep in politics.

It is not just the tech businesses. As long as there are money and lobbying permitted then any business or group of businesses will be involved in politics to gain an advantage over their rivals or for tax/regulatory purposes.

Scandal ? For the major retailers maybe. Supporting Trump is not a scandal; businesses punishing Trump supporters is.

When business mixes with politics yes it can hurt your business especially if what you are claiming has no factual truth to it.

I do hope the My Pillow guy can recover the losses he received from doing this.

Repeating a bunch of bald faced lies until a bunch of people storm the capitol out of pure patriotism certainly would qualify as at least a scandal.

And those notes on his tablet looked like coup plans. Think that might have been the final straw for those advertisers?

Good thing the rest of the world hasn't fallen for those liberal lies about trump. Might hurt his brand.

Oh wait, this is reality and his name has become toxic.

Antifa, hard at work destroying trumpism.

Supporting tRump is not a scandal; repeating fraud, lies about the election and attempting to undermine our democracy should be punished... ✌
