Ummm okay... The controversial Super Bowl commercial for 84 Lumber about a migrant family crossing the border into the U.S. was not meant to be “pro-immigration” or a political statement at all, the company’s CEO Maggie Hardy Magerko tells PEOPLE.
Hardy Magerko, who took over ownership of her family’s $2.86 billion company in 1992, says she is a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump and believes that a border wall – which featured prominently in the TV spot – “is a need.”
“We need to keep America safe,” the 51-year-old executive tells PEOPLE. “America needs to be safe so you and I can have the liberty to talk… The wall, I think it represents, to me, security. I like security.”
Hardy Magerko says she personally helped develop the commercial and its striking imagery, but her personal beliefs don’t play into the commercial.
“This came from the heart and I didn’t do it for personal gain,” she says. “It’s not about me or my beliefs or the wall, it’s about individuals… treating people with dignity and respect.”
She adds: “My intent was to show, through the mother and daughter, that through struggles we will do anything we possibly can to make a better place for our children. If I thought the wall was negative, I wouldn’t have had the wall.”
"Hey jackass, get your government off my freedom."

Sounds like she got a bunch of emails. Now she thinks that somehow she just happened to have immigrants in her commercials but it had nothing to do with her political views? Tell her we ain't that stupid. The damage to her brand has already been done.

I actually believe her and thnk the reason for the ad was free press/marketing and several hundred+ jobs they need filled. In fact, I'm almost convinced Budweiser did the same. How many times have you heard the name Budweiser in the past few weeks? A TON!!
If the old adage that there's no such thing as bad press then both accomplished their goals!! This very well could be reverse selling.
As for 84 the employment URL is right on the same page as both ads. Also, read up on who her Dad who left her the company.

Not being married to any particular political party sure makes it a lot easier to look at the world more objectively...
Having said that, MAGA.

I sent them this: Superbowl. Commercial. You will never have my business.  Sounds fishy and I don't give a damn. Illegal is illegal. Get them out and keep 'em out.

I heard something on the radio driving in yesterday about the commercial saying it was intended to be pro-wall/pro-legal immigration. When I originally saw the commercial I couldn't really get what they were trying to say....I couldn't tell if it was pro/anti anything.

She needs to fire the Marketing Manager and hold a public flogging. That is the only way this is not going to bite her in the ass.
