Allstate CEO Tom Wilson received a measure of backlash after he insisted that Americans must respond to the New Orleans terror attack by accepting people’s “imperfections and differences.”
Wilson made the comments after ISIS supporter Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove into crowds in the early hours of New Year’s Day, killing 14 and injuring at least 35.
Jabbar posted a video online professing his support for Islamic State shortly before going on the rampage, according to authorities.
In remarks coinciding with the start of the Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, the corporation’s CEO suggested the attack was a reminder of the importance of political correctness.
“Welcome to the All-State Sugar Bowl. Wednesday, tragedy struck the New Orleans community. Our prayers are with the victims and their families,” said Wilson.
We also need to be stronger together by overcoming an addiction to divisiveness and negativity. Join Allstate, working in local communities all across America to amplify the positive, increase trust, and accept people’s imperfections and differences.”
“Together, we win.”
Some questioned who exactly the comments were supposed to be aimed at given that the only ‘divisiveness’ and ‘negativity’ on display was that which motivated Jabbar to carry out his heinous attack.
“So according to @Allstate plowing through a crowd and k*lling 15 people is just an “imperfection”?” remarked Libs of TikTok.
Allstate previously triumphed their advocacy for DEI policies in a year end report, boasting about how the company employed a declining number of white men.
GIBBS RULE #1: “THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES”
How astoundingly stupid.
Why couldn’t he just keep it simple: prayers for the victims, praise for the LEOs and first responders, and resolution going forward. The PR departments of these large corporations are populated with tone-deaf woke idiots.
and just WTF does that have to do with an islamonazi terrorist attack?!
I despise Allstate.
I had their car insurance and home insurance for 30 years and then they cancelled my homeowners policy after a hurricane season that was particularly bad. Never made a claim, paid all those premiums for years and years. They just sent a letter saying bye.
Will never ever buy their products again............
Would he say that if his family were harmed in the incident?
The majority of people (including here) see EVERYTHING through a political lens now. And everything is a conspiracy too!
Woos...
I have no idea. It’s too astoundingly stupid.
“Would he say that if his family were harmed in the incident?”
Quite possibly. He sounds like he’s a fully-indoctrinated cuck.
Another idiot that is a product of our colleges and universities.
Looks like a big smiling turd, doesn’t he?
The Bush Rule: “Attacking your base is not a winning strategy”
It applies to businesses too.
“Allstate CEO Tom Wilson received a measure of backlash after he insisted that Americans must respond to the New Orleans terror attack by accepting people’s “imperfections and differences.”
I am quite pleased with the imperfections of that killer. Two days ago his body had no bullet holes in it. Bullet holes are an imperfection of his once living body.
They sure don’t accept any straight white Christian males’ imperfections or differences.
He looks like the kind of guy who might enjoy seeing another man ram his husband.
Overcome an addiction to divisivness and negativity? How about developing a street smart awareness of reality if you want to prosper and stay safe. This pompous fool no doubt feels very good about himself when he says hello to his “diverse” servants when he graces them with his presence.
