It is going to be interesting to see how this plays out financially for them. I don't know why they had to have a comment about this at all. What is wrong with a company not wading into public politics? If someone wants a comment from them instead of this:
“we do not support legal advocacy efforts. We do not sponsor nor do we have a relationship with the 17-year-old facing charges in Kenosha, WI,”
Why not this.
"we believe strongly in the concept of innocent until proven guilty"
Or:
"we don't make public comments on political matters."
"we believe strongly in the concept of innocent until proven guilty"
