Anti-Trump spice company is major buyer of impeachment Facebook ads: analysis
The Hill ^ | 10/09/19 | Morgan Gstalter

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.

There are a lot of dirty dogs out there with much to hide and protect.

The only explanation is Bill Penzey and the rest of these people are pro-corruption.

Questions for the dem-deep state should be along the lines of: “Why are you in favor of corruption?”

Dear IRS,

I understand that Penzeys Spices is running political expenditures through their tax return as business expenses.

Thought you might want to audit them to verify this.

Sincerely,

A Concerned Taxoayer

Penzeys being anti-Trump comes up every once in a while, so I put together a list of alternatives:

http://www.sfherb.com
http://www.myspicesage.com
http://www.spicebarn.com
http://www.penderys.com
http://www.thespicehouse.com
http://www.teenytinyspice.com
http://www.tones.com
http://www.tastefullysimple.com
http://www.starwest-botanicals.com

I compiled this from previous threads on Penzeys Spices. If anyone has others to add, let me know. Thanks!

They already did this in 2015 or 2016 I believe. I use to buy all my spices from them. 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.

Corporation/companies that are anti-Trump, anti-USA, pro-dem are idiotic. If dems get power, we’ll move towards socialism and eventually communism, at which point the State will take over or ruin them all.

There was a rumor after several deaths that Penzy cinnamon and sugar was processed with and contains traces of arsenic

Penzey lost a chunk of business from a letter he penned in 2016, iirc.

Maybe he thinks his customer-loss was limited to the MAGA types, and they’re all but gone at this point.

I believe a relative, his sister perhaps, started a competing business. Don’t remember the name.

I’m not surprised that Penzey’s at it again. He seems to be seriously fixated on non-reality.

Penzeys Spices was on my ban list looong before Trump mainly due to it being on the LGBTWHATEVER wagon.
