Coca-Cola CEO Quincey: ‘Unacceptable’ Georgia Voting Law ‘Needs to Be Remedied’
Breitbart ^ | 04/01/2021 | Pam Key

Posted on 04/01/2021 9:53:56 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Coca-Cola Company chairman and CEO James Quincey said Wednesday on CNBC’s “Power Lunch” that the recently passed Georgia voting law “is wrong and needs to be remedied.”

Quincey said, “Let me get crystal clear and unequivocal this legislation is unacceptable. It is a step backward. It does not promote principles we have stood for in Georgia around broad access to voting, around voter convenience, about ensuring election integrity. This is frankly just a step backward. We have spent many decades promoting within Georgia a better society and better environment for business, and this is a step backward. Our position remains the same. This legislation is wrong and needs to be remedied. We’ll continue to advocate in both private and even more clearly in public.”

“Most people get to that position by coming up with ways to make things work”

Even the “New Coke” program manager! New coke was an abysmal failure, the CEO of Coca-Cola decided to promote the new Coke program manager because he was the most experienced person on staff to recognize a failure, to climb out of the pit of failure, and to restore Coca-Cola profit margins. The only person who had been through New Coke debacle... and lived to tell the tale. Nobody else had that level of experience!

I am a lifetime Coke drinker (Coke Zero the last several years). I drink probably 4-5 Cokes a day.

I now have to look for something else to drink. I wrote them and told them that and I meant it. I advise everybody to boycott Woka Cola and other companies that openly side with the enemy. They need to learn that there are costs for bowing to the Woke mob. A helluva lot of their now former customers do not agree with that crap.

Did that a while back when they began their employee training program on Stop Being White. And I was a Real Addict for Diet Coke. Have not found a suitable substitute. Never going back.

What kind of a business plan is it to get involved in politic’s, over half of Georgia's population disagrees with their position. Coke should have stayed out of it.

These statements from CEO’s are not spontaneous. There is clearly an organized campaign to lean on them. The questions are: (1) precisely who is doing it and (2) what is being threatened.

And yet Comrade Quincey requires a photo ID and proof of stock ownership to gain admission to Coke’s yearly stockholder meetings.

Give examples of who will not be able to vote in GA. Voter fraud for the DNC is not a right.
