I think this is awful. He obviously felt compelled to back down from his apolitical stance and then when that did not appease his employees he let loose with his real opinion. I would not want to employ such people under such circumstances but he was obviously affiliated with a dumb franchise. Too many dumb businesspeople these days who think they can get involved in politics.

I feel really bad for the gentleman...
What is wrong with the owner trying not to be political?
I admire him for what he tried to do...I would be happy to go to a shop where the owner does not want to be political...
But, sending the email was not a good idea...
Employees upset with the owner for not becoming political...
Those employees are really ignorant...
