SCOTTeVEST CEO and Co-founder Scott Jordan really stepped in it when he insulted a large swath of his customers last week.
The controversy started when Jordan shared on Facebook how he reacts when people tell him they recognize his face from Fox News, which frequently plays his commercials.
“I laugh to myself, and tell them that we primarily advertise on Fox because we find their viewership to be extremely gullible and much easier to sell than other networks," he wrote in part. “I get to tell them they are f***ing idiots while getting rich off them.”
Trying to tamp down on the outcry, the company issued the following statement distancing itself from Jordan's offensive remarks.
The recent offensive and inexcusable social media post by Scott Jordan does not reflect the views of SCOTTeVEST. In 2017, Mr. Jordan stepped down from the management of SCOTTeVEST and he is not involved in our daily operations.
We are extremely sorry for his unacceptable comments. Mr. Jordan’s post was impulsive and inappropriate for too many reasons to list, and rightfully offended so many people.
We strongly disagree with the views expressed by Mr. Jordan.
Jordan himself apologized in a letter posted on Medium.
"To those that I called gullible and idiotic, I am truly sorry," he said.
While Jordan stepped down as a manager last year, he retains his title of CEO. SCOTTeVEST spokesman Luke Lappala said that's nothing to worry about, as his duties have significantly reduced.
“Mr. Jordan retains his CEO and Co-Founder titles, but he is not involved in our daily operations," Lappala told The Blaze.
Trump continues to win in all corners.
Never had intent to buy their product anyway.
Too late.
He still continues to make a buck off gullible saps.
Political correctness
Not from me! That apology was cr@p!
Social media sure flushes out the real idiots.
I sure am not gullible enough to buy his clown coats.
He’s probably correct that only idiots buy his overpriced products.
I never have, but then again, I’m smarter than most.
Nope.
Too late. Get Bent!
“To those that I called gullible and idiotic, I am truly sorry,” he said.”
No you’re not.
Verily, all leftards lie all the time.
Yeah well he may have stepped down but he still gets paid from the sales, so Conservatives and Fox viewers should continue to tell him what a f**king idiot he is by taking their business elsewhere.
“To those that I called gullible and idiotic, I am truly sorry,” he said.”
No, you’re really not, you just realized you stepped on your dick! And I thought Secular Progressives were supposed to be “the smartest people on the planet!” They’re not smart, and to make up for it, they have big mouths that get them into trouble.
“Big Mistake...Big...Huge!”
Excellent news!
However, this douche PALES in comparison to Bill Penzey and all of the nasty e-mails he sent to ME, via his spice company, ‘Penzey’s’ when Governor Scott Walker (R, WI, Awesome) took office.
He doubled down when President Trump was elected.
Luckily, people are STILL paying attention!

What ‘businessperson’ in their right mind would do this? I managed a multi-million dollar enterprise before I retired and I was surrounded by Liberals on staff and as customers ALL DAY LONG. I NEVER talked politics with either. It’s just stupid and bad for your bottom line.
Enjoy your FAIL, you dopes!
Too little too late. Roll your vest up and a ball and shove it where the sun don’t shine Scottie.

Non-apology apology. He's truly sorry for what? If he believes his customers are gullible and idiotic for buying his product regardless of where the company acquired them via advertising, what does that say about his opinion of his own product? He clearly believes people who buy it are gullible, which says to me that it's overpriced crap. No getting around that, really.
