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.
“Mr. Jordan retains his CEO and Co-Founder titles, but he is not involved in our daily operations,” Lappala told The Blaze.
Oh, i guess ill run right out and buy one. NOT!
Anyone know how to communicate with the company to let them know how much business they just lost?
Stick a fork in this company. It’s done. He ought to be sued until broke by those who will lose their investment in his company.
Someone saying they are sorry is not the same as saying they apologize.
They need to change the name from ScottE-vest to Cuck-Vest, because only a cuck we be caught dead wearing one.

Now that’s funny right there. He’s the CEO! That statement is sort of like saying a captain will not be involved in the daily operations of his ship.
Liberals just can’t help but destroy themselves can they.
Pull your Anus hat down over your eyes and hope no one recognizes you.
It does flush them out, it’s amazing. Remember the other CEO after Trump won the election he said he was going to shoot Trump? I wonder if the secret service ever arrested him. Yeah this idiot, I found it........

So, he still owns most of the company, it seems.
Darwin Award for business? What an idiot. Not knowing anything about this company, person, CEO... I would say shareholders need to own everything he has. Lawyers getting rich is one way to win. Check your 401K and see if you can start the feeding frenzy. Fun fun. Idiot. He is completely liable for any loss to stock or other ownership holders.

Typical “if you stupid conservative Neanderthals took it the wrong way, well, FU!” apology, wasn’t it?
Wonder how they could strip the “Co-Founder” title. Use the old Soviet approach of completely erasing him from history?
They are sorry only that they got caught.
