".... Pretty sure they took sides with the first apology...."

But give them credit for backing away from that mistake and standing up and acknowledging they were wrong to have apologized in the first place.

They are like a lot of companies who buckle under from the relentless social media pressure from liberals to back down from their actions for fear of offending their customers.

These folks realized their customers were their side to begin with and wanted to set the record straight about their initial apology.

I say good for them. It takes a lot in today's partisan culture to stand your ground and fight back from the Left's toxic hatred.

Did you listen to the second apology? It wasn't an apology.

It was a list of why they believe they're the good guys. (We pay our taxes. We pay good wages. We employ people. We run a business that feeds people.)

They didn't apologize to the people at the ICE Detention Center and refused to say if they would serve them again.

It was a non-apology.

There was no relentless social media pressure from the libs in this case. From the article:

“That apology, a response to a handful of complaints, was met with tremendous backlash online.”

Also, an earlier article here (FR) indicated they’d only had 18 negative responses from the Left when they made their first apology.

In addition... They indicated “...the event did not align with their company’s values.”

It sounds like they also lied about their values if they’re retracting their first apology.

Their business needs to go under.
