Anti-Trump spice company is major buyer of impeachment Facebook ads: analysis

A Wisconsin-based spice company has been the second-largest buyer of impeachment ads on Facebook in recent days, second only to President Trump himself, according to a new analysis released Tuesday.

Penzeys Spices in Wauwatosa, Wis., has spent $92,000 on pro-impeachment ads between Sept. 29 and Oct. 5, according to data compiled by Bully Pulpit Interactive, a Democratic communications agency, and published by Axios.

By comparison, the Trump campaign shelled out $718,000 to defend the president after House Democrats launched an impeachment inquiry last month over his dealings with Ukraine, while billionaire philanthropist and Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer was the third top spender, dishing out $86,000 on anti-Trump impeachment ads.

Penzeys Spices is America’s largest independent spice retailer and frequently criticizes the president across its official social media platforms.

The company's CEO, Bill Penzey, last week released a 1,500-word advertisement attacking Trump over the Ukraine whistleblower complaint while knocking the Republican Party’s defense of the president.

He’ll raise prices, and the lefties will feel good about paying more, because it fights the bad orange man.

“I have not since the Trump bashing back then and I spent a lot of money at their site. I now order from his sister’s company who is pro-trump and his direct competition.”

Same here. It’s been a couple of years for me and I STILL have a cabinet filled with leftover Penzey stuff. But all the things we use heavily have been replenished from The Spice House.

Nope, nothing labeled Penzey but it’s really hard to know who wholesales what to whose private label, like Trader Joe, McCormick, etc .....

Nice list. I buy “Simply Organic” brand at my local health food store. Their Ceylon Cinnamon is the only cinnamon I can stand.
