Penzeys Insider Says CEO’s Left-Wing Rants are Hurting Company

A Penzeys Spices insider says founder and CEO Bill Penzey’s frequent left-wing rants in emails to customers have lost the company more than half of its retail business over the past five years.

“It’s been devastating,” explains the insider, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “In 2017, our retail operations department flat out said that Bill’s attacks had cost the company 50 percent of our customers.”

Penzey has for years made political assaults on Republicans and conservatives a routine part of his “A Note from Bill” emails to customers, but the insider says he ratcheted up his rhetoric after Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election. His emails made national news, but the publicity generated a backlash even from liberal customers.

Thanks, Liz. Bill Penzey is welcome to use his free speech to attack and hate Republicans -- even with spicy language :)

But for Harris to imply Penzey's is a company that is trying to heal America's divisiveness is plain wrong.

Harris is probably struggling to get close to ANY national brands.

Trump owns the best brand out there: Elon Musk.

And Robert Kennedy Jr. is a tremendous boost, too. More to come!

I guess the board of directors has no power.

How dumb can a corporate head be??? He should follow the ways of Michael Jordan, who is a liberal, but acknowledged that “Republicans buy shoes, too.”

But maybe that’s the problem: Mr. Penzey is perhaps NOT a liberal, but an intolerant LEFTIST, and maybe his only customers should be Antifa and women in pink puddy hats.
