PepsiCo's CEO said the election of Donald Trump as president was terrifying her employees.
"I had to answer a lot of questions from my daughters, from our employees. They were all in mourning," PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi told Andrew Ross Sorkin at The New York Times' DealBook conference on Thursday.
"Our employees were all crying," she said. "And the question that they're asking, especially those who are not white, 'Are we safe?' Women are asking, 'Are we safe?' LGBT people are asking, 'Are we safe?' I never thought I would have to answer those questions."
After congratulating Trump for his success, Nooyi, who supported Democrat Hillary Clinton in the presidential race, said everyone in the US needed assurance of their safety.
"What we heard was election talk," she said.
Nooyi also said she was disgusted more generally by the language that has been used to discuss women in recent months.
"How dare we talk about women that way," Nooyi said. "I don't think there's a place for that kind of language in any part of society, not in locker rooms, not in football players' homes, not in any place. And, if we don't nip it in the bud, Andrew, this is going to be lethal force that's going to take over society."
Nooyi said there was an overemphasis on candidates' soundbites and social-media-ready quotes throughout the election, which resulted in a failure to discuss real political issues in a nuanced manner.
Ultimately, Nooyi told Sorkin she thought Americans needed to unite and accept the outcome of the election.
"The process of democracy happened," she said. "We just need to let life go on."
Here's is the full video of Nooyi and Sorkin's conversation:

Pepsi Frito-Lay Gatorade Quaker Oats Tropicana
She’s admitting she hires illegal aliens as company policy.
“Our employees fear for their safety.”
Why? Pepsi is a major corporation. Are they hiring illegals?
Its the whites who aren’t safe from soros
Time to switch to Coke, or (even better) water/tea/etc. Pepsi is off the menu.
PepsiCo’s Board ought to fire her ass.
Coke must be loving it.
Pepsi is self destructing.
Just pissed off 50% of their US customer base.
“I’ll have a diet coke”
“Pepsi okay”
gets up and leaves
Pepsi had used human embryos for their product testing. They have been off the menu for a long time for me.
Does she employ people who are here illegally?
Could that be why they’re scared and why she is upset enough to speak out publicly?
Or does she have no business sense?
Are they criminals?
Then they should be afraid.
I, for one, will stop buying Pepsi products as of today.
Does anyone have that list of companies owned by or associated with Pepsico?
I'd hate to accidentally buy one or more of their products.
"A mind is a terrible thing to waste"
Dr pepper is included in some areas. Never quite understood.
Pepsi Frito-Lay Gatorade Quaker Oats Tropicana?
I’ve just instructed the purchaser to immediately boycott these products.
Surely some liberal will start a “Death Count” that shows how many minorities/immigrants/trans/gay people are killed by Trump supporters.
The number has to be in the millions by now going by the hysteria.
BOYCOTT folks, boycott; we did it to Target over the bathroom mess; we have done it to Amazon, we can do it again...hit them in the wallet where it counts!!!
I used to like Pepsi.
I guess its water with lunch for now on; healthier anyways.
The only thing they have to fear are the Soros paid instigators trying to change the result.
Unless, of course if they are illegals; then they have to fear the law being enforced.
You’ve got a lot to live, and Pepsi’s got a lot to give.

Pepsi hires lots of America-hating, illegal aliens do they? Is Nooyi an illegal?
boycott Pepsi and all their products (frito-lay, gatorade, etc)
the NFL should be ashamed to have them as one of their sponsor, hopefully another black eye.
