Nike warned people to not share “hate speech” on the company’s Instagram account.

The apparel company has been facing intense scrutiny and criticism after it decided to team up with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney – a biological male – in an attempt to sell leggings and sports bras.

People are not happy, and have made their feelings crystal clear on social media and Nike’s Instagram page. Now, the company claims comments it doesn’t like will be deleted. Nike responds to Dylan Mulvaney backlash.

With intense incoming fire from people upset at the belief Nike is disrespecting women, the apparel company decided to declare its Instagram a place where “hate speech” and “bullying” won’t be tolerated.

“You are an essential component to the success of your community! We welcome comments that contribute to a positive and constructive discussion: Be kind ❤️ Be inclusive ❤️Encourage each other ❤️ Hate speech, bullying, or other behaviors that are not in the spirit of a diverse and inclusive community will be deleted,” Nike commented on a Thursday post promoting a shoe.

Below is a screenshot of the comment.

People flame the company’s reaction.

The outrage with Nike didn’t start with this comment, but this attempt at damage control definitely didn’t help.

In fact, it looks like it just invited more criticism. The responses to the specific comment have been brutally anti-Nike.

Every comment seemed to be totally against Nike and none high up were in support of the company’s decision to partner with Dylan Mulvaney.

So big companies are willingly joining the leftist rush to destroy the moral foundations of civilization. Why?

It is proof of the Communist success over the last fifty years or so of their carefully designed psychological warfare plan on how to take down an adversarial country without firing a shot. Yuri Bezmenov laid it all out, but no one thought it would ever happen to America. He tried to warn us and now we see he knew exactly what he was talking about. The woke company executives of today are the college students of yesterday who were being indocrinated in the Communist Plan as America slept and now we are reaping the whirlwind.
