Wrigley — the company behind the popular Skittles brand — responded to Donald Trump Jr.’s use of an analogy involving the candy to illustrate a point about the Syrian refugee crisis in a statement on Tuesday. “Skittles are candy. Refugees are people. We don’t feel it’s an appropriate analogy,” Wrigley Americas vice president of corporate affairs Denise Young told the Hollywood Reporter in a statement.
“We will respectfully refrain from further commentary as anything we say could be misinterpreted as marketing,”Young added.
Trump Jr.’s tweet sent the left into a frenzy on Monday night and Tuesday

Ok , if he had a bowl of Peanuts and only 3 would kill you would you still grab a hand full , an bowl of what ever . They only gave a headline and never said what he actually said
Maybe Jr got the idea from here:

Sorry Wrigley, poisoned Skittles can kill people just as dead as radical Muslims.
You got refugees in my Skittles! You got Skittles in my refugees!
Mmmm....
That meme is ancient!
I think it was Newt who first used that analogy.
He should have used hillary’s Prescription meds instead of Skrittles.
All I know about skittles is you don’t bring them to a gunfight.
He did. There's only one conclusion. The most rabid of hillary supporters have gone insane.
I checked the definition of rabid: The first definition is "having or proceeding from an extreme or fanatical support of or belief in something".
Of course, I'd never call hillary's supporters mad dogs.
CNN spent way too much time on this. They are really freaking crazy.
Many in the right wing dislike the company because of their commitment to renewable energy, 100% renewable by 2040.
I remember their objection when Saint Skittles was used to promote violence and riots.
Oh, sorry, my mistake. I DON’T remember that.
GMTA sixteen seconds :)
Guess they didn’t like all the free advertising they got. Trump should charge them.
Idiots
Right !! I've seen that one several years ago, though I don;t recall who made it. Mark Steyn comes to mind, or Gingrich possibly.
Why all the Hub-bub about it now.
The analogy cut to the bone with it’s accuracy. That’s why they LIBS are freaking the f**k out over it. I hope DJTJ keep pressing the analogy. It resonates with people.
The “Refugees are People” movement. Don’t think it will help generate Dem votes.
No statistically “Refugees” are terrorists not people so knock off the bull shiite.
BTW I detest skittles anyway, artificial coloring, artificial flavoring and appealing to kiddy palates. Oh wait, that sounds like bernie.
