On Wednesday, Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson thrice denied knowledge of his company’s donations to the largest abortion provider in the U.S., Planned Parenthood.

In an interview with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo, Johnson was asked about the company’s financial support of Planned Parenthood in light of objects raised by Aveda King:

Bartiromo: “I don’t know if you saw Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece op-ed in the Washington Examiner. And she said, ‘If Starbucks wants to end racism it will stop funding Planned Parenthood.’ Are you going to stop funding Planned Parenthood?”

Johnson: “Well I am not aware that we, we do fund Planned Parenthood. So. I haven’t read the op-ed and I can’t comment on that.”

Bartiromo: “OK.”

Johnson: “But, I am not aware that we do that.”

He does NOT deserve to run a company if he is unaware where their money goes.

What an idiot!

PERFECT!

As a nod to Black Lives Matter he can declare that Starbucks will no longer fund the largest single killer of Blacks in the U.S.!

Starbucks has added a new ingredient to the spice menu.
Many still call it Taqiya. It’s ‘from Arabia’!

Why did she not just ask him if it is true will you stop it? I get sick of this “I’m not aware of that routine”. Unless she was lying he knew at point she told him about it and she should not have let him off the hook.

By nature Liberal CEOs are incompetent because activism comes before profit and it is obvious that he is lying. A liberal CEO always knows where the money goes and what is to be received in return.

She should have responded:
Since you have no idea where your company spends it’s money, I will be sure to Bring it up at the the next Stock Holders Meeting, so the Share Holders understand their poor returns a little better.

He’s a lying piece of excrement, I have no doubt that he personally approved the donations to PP and a host of other socialist and Anti Christian organizations.
