First on CNN: Macy's dumps Donald Trump

By MJ Lee

(CNN)Macy's is pulling Donald Trump brand merchandise from its stores after the Republican presidential candidate's recent controversial remarks created a public uproar.

The department store has come under intense pressure to cut ties with the real estate magnate and businessman after he referred to immigrants from Mexico and other countries "killers and rapists."

In a statement Wednesday morning, Macy's said the company "stands for diversity" and that it had no tolerance for discrimination.

"We are disappointed and distressed by recent remarks about immigrants from Mexico. We do not believe the disparaging characterizations portray an accurate picture of the many Mexicans, Mexican Americans and Latinos who have made so many valuable contributions to the success of our nation," Macy's said. "In light of statements made by Donald Trump, which are inconsistent with Macy's values, we have decided to discontinue our business relationship with Mr. Trump and will phase-out the Trump menswear collection, which has been sold at Macy's since 2004."

Where? From what I can tell, the only uproar is with the left wing cocktail circuit and LaRaza set.

I can just see a large gathering of Freepers all wearing Donald Trump “fashions”

Diversity? Do whites count in this “diversity” thing they speak of? More specifically, white males? Diversity is great and all that but lets really make sure they are here legally or diversify their derrieres right on back to whence they came from. Diversity is the rally cry for the leftist scumbags since the r word has been getting way over used lately and watered down to mean anything anymore.

Good to know that you don’t shop there, we’re all relieved! Are you also aware that these “corporate” buy-ins to the left wing revolution signal a very dangerous development in the trashing of our country? Or is it just about where you shop?

The + response for Trump supporters is to boycott Macy’s.

We haven’t shopped @ Macy’s for over a decade due to their left wind stands.

I know right, this is how the left works in conjunction with the media, they exaggerate when the fact of the matter is the majority of people are sick to freakin’ death of this supporting of illegals. I like to remind liberals especially blacks who bash Trump, that Comrade Obama wanted $3.5 BILLION to spend on illegals! How much does he want to spend on inner city blacks whose jobs are being decimated by illegals? ZERO. Remember when blacks were all celebrating when he got elected, saying there were going to get all this free stuff, yadda yadda, I like to tell them the only people he’s giving free stuff to are to the people WHO AREN’T SUPPOSE TO BE HERE!!

If Macy’s policy is not sell products produced by people or companies that say something stupid or unpleasant, they will have nothing to sell.

Trump didn’t say one thing about immigrants..

he told the truth about illegal aliens..

and he identified them as “illegal”

his one error was in calling them illegal immigrants..

someone needs to tell him they didn’t immigrate..

however he does appear to know they are in the US illegally..

Just call them what they are Donald...illegal aliens..

‘We represent *diversity.’ *Note, the meaning of diversity has been changed to ‘conformity with our liberal opinions.’

Diversity of opinion, of course, is inconsistent with our culture of diversity; everyone must have the same uniform opinion.
