Ward 8 councilman Trayon White Sr., who is challenging incumbent mayor Muriel Bowser in the Democratic mayoral primary, teamed up with the Coke-bottling company and grocery chain last week to host the cleanup day for Oxon Run, a stream located in White’s ward.

The event raises questions about why such prominent brands would partner with a political leader who is known for pushing anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. Coca-Cola Consolidated, one of the main Coca-Cola bottlers in the United States, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
A spokesman for Giant told the Washington Free Beacon that the event, and White’s invitation, was Coca-Cola Consolidated’s idea.

Forever a CLASSIC!

Woke-a-Cola, it’s the real thing.
Wow... and they vote.
Hahahahaha...
Great, now you blew the whole gaffe.
Neisworth and Smith also cowrote, “The Advantages of Optimism”, which didn’t sell as well. ;^)
I’m bumping this because Trayon White has been arrested in a $156,000 bribery scheme.
