GOP Donor Les Wexner Announces Departure From Republican Party After Obama Visit
Huffington Post ^ | 09/16/18 | Sebastian Murdoch

Ohio billionaire and longtime Republican donor Les Wexner says he is officially done with the party, and was prompted to leave after former President Barack Obama visited the state.

Wexner, the CEO of retail conglomerate L Brands, which owns Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works, announced at a leadership summit in Columbus on Thursday that he “won’t support this nonsense in the Republican Party” anymore, The Columbus Dispatch reported.

The announcement, made at a panel discussion, came the same day Obama visited Columbus before heading to a rally in Cleveland to support Democrat Richard Cordray’s run for governor.

“I was struck by the genuineness of the man; his candor, humility and empathy for others,” Wexner said of Obama.

This means he didn’t think he was getting his money’s worth out of his bribe money.

“I wonder if Obama would be able to sell him ocean front lots supposedly located in Nebraska or Alberta.”

I’m sure he will. That’s essentially what Obama did with the majority of voters in two presidential elections.

Because wannabe overlords never thought the Constitution made sense. Why would you ever want freedom for all if you have MONEY!

That does it! I'm not wearing any more Victoria's Secret nighties.

Not that this guy ever wore any in the first place

Textile importers don’t like tariffs. Bet the GOP will miss his millions.

He was struck by Hussein’s humility? Candor? Empathy for others?


My guess is that Obama sat him down and showed him all the embarrassing stuff that the Deep State Intel agencies collected on him.

Hussein made him an offer "he couldn't refuse".

Elites having compassion for elites... could be the new slogan for the democrat party. Put Michael Moore into the mix and they could spend days discussing their mansions and millions...

It’s more likely that the dirt-diggers that work for the dem party/deep state found something and blackmailed him to do this. obama and his hold-outs still in the bureaucracy are not going to go down without a fight, and they fight dirty, and illegally.
MAGA

The portrait painted of Epstein prior to his prosecution for pandering is peculiar. He made a fortune managing the money of Les Wexner. In 2009 Epstein’s phone book was released on the internet. Bill Clinton’s name is not in it. Wexner’s name is there with individual listings for multiple residences and vehicles.

No - this guy has ALWAYS been a deep stater. The nonsense he wants stopped are the Tariffs and Trump. He wants to remain in power as the great philanthropist statesman telling the little people what to think because he’s super dee duper smart and Obama was always his ideologue.

“Looks like there are lots of uber rich folks what are dumbasses. Is it ego? Do they believe that the only way they got to be rich is because they are smarter than eveyone? Always baffles me.”

It is not baffling at all...is it ego? Well, yes in part - they do think themselves smarter than most. But why do they become fascist/Leftist...it’s because they want you and me and our families to remain peasants serving them, forever. And they want their families to remain as elite oligarchs...Lords and Masters, forever. So they support political systems - like those championed by the Europeans, Soros, Obama, Hillary and the Democrats here - that offer up a permanent government elite ruling over a mass of permanent peasants, living and dying totally by the edicts of their government.

It’s astounding ANY billionaires AREN’T fascist. Makes Trump rather remarkable...as fascism/Leftism is all about protecting the wealthy elites and enslaving the masses. If you are having a revolution, you don’t want people like this bozo on your side - even nominally - anyway.
