Krzanich is the third executive to leave President Donald Trump's council in the span of a day — Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank and Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier both resigned earlier on Monday following the recent episode of white supremacist violence in Virginia.
"I resigned to call attention to the serious harm our divided political climate is causing to critical issues, including the serious need to address the decline of American manufacturing," Krzanich said in Monday's blog post.
"I have already made clear my abhorrence at the recent hate-spawned violence in Charlottesville, and earlier today I called on all leaders to condemn the white supremacists and their ilk who marched and committed violence," he continued.
"I resigned because I want to make progress, while many in Washington seem more concerned with attacking anyone who disagrees with them."

I don't know who approved the original speech with the "many sides" line. I figured that would be a problem. The speech should have had explicit condemnations of white supremacy, racism, anti-Semitism, and violence and then called out Antifa violence. It should have been a longer speech. The communications strategy was not top notch here, but at no point did he do anything except condemn racism. There was nothing in that initial speech which condoned it.
The media firestorm over this has been a disaster PR wise, and the media attempts to portray him as a white supremacist is definitely going to make the more liberal members of the council pull away. It's a shame because Trump is not a racist - nothing that he has said has indicated he supports these people.
The left wins because we’re p**sies. Plain and simple.
The left probably has something on him BIG TIME.

Sheeeeet! This happened all the time under Obama! And he not only didn’t apologize for his Lefty BLM rioters, he egged them on!!! Eff those guys, must be stupid to not see the double standard.
Just buy AMD and avoid intel. Right posts how their products and company sucks. Nail the. For outsourcing. Get in the face of people wearing intel logo shirts. Pay back in the same coin.
Replace him with someone else. A seat next to the President. Their shareholders must be elated at their CEO’s voluntary removal.
He should have condemned the trouble makers or stayed out of it.
It is my understanding that, white supremests or not, they had a permit and it was peaceful until antifa showed up.
Besides, if Black Lives Matter is not a problem, why is white supremests such a big deal?
"...Intel CEO Brian Krzanich ..."
Intel is one of the worst places in America to work. A sweat shop that forces people to stab each other in the back to keep your job. Good Riddance.
Just another ignorant a..hole.
AMD Ryzen CPU's - Kicking Intel's ASS' and not bothering to take names!
Are these bozos afraid of their own shadows?
Another ‘Virtue Signaling’ cuckold.
Simple. Ask their chief competitors to join and hand out some fat gubmint favors/contracts to them.
Philosophically, don’t agree with it, but f’ it, play hardball.
“Give me outsourcing or give me death! I mean: Trump is mean!”
These guys are only fooling the media- well they’re not fooling them but the media is eager to go along.
I just sold my Intel stock about 4 days ago and bought AMD because of their new core technology. I bought Intel when it first came out (with warrants attached!) and have held it all that time until last week. Now I’m even more glad that I sold it.
Ya know... If any of these douches really wanted to have an impact on the way Trump governs, they would stay in the Council, where they could have contact with Trump and the opportunity for him to listen to their arguments and advice.
Those global monopolists have become very spoiled for lack of competition.
