Former Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger wonders "why is it that whenever Republicans decide to boycott a company like Bud Light or Disney, it's okay? Yet when the rest of America protests against a company like Tesla because the CEO is running around telling Americans what government spending they can live without, then all of a sudden it's a crime. Why do we let them get away with double standards."
Attorney General Pam Bondi explained that "there is no double standard. Boycotting a company's merchandise is a perfectly legal action. In a free society every individual can freely choose what they buy or not buy for any reason or for no reason. On the other hand, vandalizing a business, firing bullets into a place of business, setting fire to the merchandise, and endangering lives is totally illegal. We will find, arrest, prosecute, and punish any person who commits any of these crimes."
Kinzinger asserted "more harm was done to the company that manufactured and sold Bud Light than has been done to Musk, the dealers who sell Teslas, and the owners of the cars. Anheuser Busch lost billions of dollars in sales and profits. Why should the folks who caused that damage go unpunished? If I were still in Congress I'd sponsor a bill making those who boycott businesses or their merchandise liable for the lost sales and profits they cause."
Because we don’t threaten people, damage private property moron.
Go cry.
I don’t remember any bud lite drinkers being assaulted. I don’t remember any Bud Lite trucks being being fire bombed.
.....Kinzinger did not seek reelection to Congress in 2022. After leaving office, he joined CNN as a senior political commentator......
many might have been razed at the bar, but yes, I never heard of anything physical.
No, protesting is not a crime, but burning cars and damaging dealership buildings is very much a crime.
This goes to show how truly demented these people are when they equivocate property damage to a boycott.
He really is a total moron
