PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi on election: People are asking, 'Are we safe?'
CNBC ^ | Novemebr 10, 2016 | Jeff Cox

PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi was among corporate America's staunchest Hillary Clinton supporters. After the election, Nooyi has had a lot of work to do assuring her employees — and her daughters — that everything was going to be OK.

Following Donald Trump's stunning upset Tuesday, Nooyi said her daughters and some of her employees were "in mourning." For her non-white employees, the emotions were even more somber.

"I had to answer a lot of questions, from my daughters, from my employees, they were all in mourning," Nooyi said. "Our employees are all crying, and the question that they are asking, especially those that are not white: 'Are we safe?' Women are asking, 'Are we safe?' LGBT people are asking, 'Are we safe?' I never thought I'd have had to answer those questions."

Yes, because we’ve never had a white male president before.

The result of Hillary’s advertising to make people afraid of Trump in order for them to vote for her because she had no actual plan other than ‘being Obama lite.’

What a disgusting thing to say.

LGBT people are asking, ‘Are we safe?’

Trump never said anything about this group except maybe that ISIS is trying to kill them.

The purpose of this letter is what? To scare people or to get them to buy less of your product. Or both?

Lady, you’re safe until you walk in my house without knocking or threaten my wife & kids. Don’t do that and we’re cool with each other.

These people have totally lost their inborn common sense.

If they knew a bit more about the average US citizen who has a Christian outlook, they would not sound so stupid. True Christians do not hate anyone and do not wish ill will upon strangers. It is against everything that Jesus taught us while he was with us on earth.

I find it hard to understand them. Their perspective is so foreign and makes no sense.

What a dope. With Hillary she and her family would have been as safe as Ambassador Stevens and 3 other patriots were in Benghazi.

She was never going to be ‘0bummer lite’. She’d have come down on us all like a 30lb sledge, to get her commie-fascist agenda done.
