Huffington Post ^ | Sept. 15, 2018 | Sebastian Murdock

The L Brands CEO had previously condemned Donald Trump’s response to Charlottesville in a speech to employees.

Ohio billionaire and longtime Republican donor Les Wexner says he is officially done with the party, and was prompted to leave after former President Barack Obama visited the state.

Wexner, the CEO of retail conglomerate L Brands, which owns Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works, announced at a leadership summit in Columbus on Thursday that he “won’t support this nonsense in the Republican Party” anymore, The Columbus Dispatch reported.

The announcement, made at a panel discussion, came the same day Obama visited Columbus before heading to a rally in Cleveland to support Democrat Richard Cordray’s run for governor.

Obviousluy he was an establishment/swamp donot-I’m sure some real conservative CEO(s) will step up. I don’t get how both Bath and Body Works and Victoria’s Secret are still in buisiness-their products are overrated and expensive-I buy girl-y, less expensive skivvies and nice body products from online retailers-so does every other woman I know who wants to be attractive and lives on a budget...

“I guess he put his finger to the wind and decided its time to jump ship.”

I disagree. His face was so far up obamatard’s ass he just couldn’t say no to his true master...

had previously condemned Donald Trump’s response to Charlottesville

So, in other words, he supports communist street violence under police/official inaction to break up a peaceful rally that has been granted a permit, and to attack the people attending the rally with clubs, body fluids, and toxic chemicals?

Proving yet again that many people have more dollars than sense.

This is so great for L Brands that Mrs. Kickaha won’t be shopping anymore at Victoria’s Secret or Bath and Body Works. Between her coupons, specials, discount codes, returns, exchanges, Special K Extended Warranty, and satisfaction-for-her-for-eternity policy they haven’t made a dime of profit from her since she first stepped through their doors.

You nailed it.

Companies like Nike and this nitwit's collection of brands are about to be hammered by tariffs on cheap Asian imports.

I’m sure all his products are made in China and the soap and candles are filled with poisonous Chinese chemicals. Who buys that stuff anymore?

“He might want to polish his resume.”

He founded the company and rules it with an iron fist. The board is in his pocket. He will die in the CEO job if he wants to.

Actually, Wexner is famously gay. Loves his shirtless male servers.

It boggles the mind why any company head or anybody in management of a business, would even consider working for the side that is the most likely to destroy his/her business. Death-wishes in so many large and small corporations.

Wikipedia:

Wexner had a close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, who managed Wexner's money. Wexner and Epstein parted when Epstein went to prison.

Er ... good move ... I guess

Maybe Obama showed him some interesting photos from his visits to Epstein’s Fantasy Island.
