“Penzeys CEO: Trump voters ‘just committed the biggest act of racism’ since segregation”

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/nov/23/bill-penzey-ceo-trump-voters-just-committed-the-bi/

The CEO of a nationwide spice retail chain has accused people who voted for President-elect Donald Trump of committing “the biggest act of racism in American history since Wallace stood in the schoolhouse doorway 53 years ago.”

Penzeys Spices CEO Bill Penzey is facing backlash for comments he made in an email newsletter to customers last week, the Milwaukee Business Journal reported.

“The open embrace of racism by the Republican Party in this election is now unleashing a wave of ugliness unseen in this country for decades. The American people are taking notice,” he wrote.

Mr. Penzey stood firm by his statement in a Facebook post Thursday but admitted that not all Republicans are racist.

“For the rest of you, you just voted for an openly racist candidate for the presidency of the United States of America,” he wrote. “In your defense, most of you did so without thinking of the consequences of your candidate’s racism because, for most of you the heartbreaking destruction racism causes has never been anything you or your loved ones have had to experience.”

What an absolute @ss.

You got that right.

I’m glad I’ve never bought anything from them. I found them to be exorbitantly expensive.

Typical liberals. They’re happy to take advantage of the capitalist system and to make money off of people that they overcharge. But they pretend to love socialism /Liberalism/communism – it’s all the same thing.
