The big corporations, including but by no means limited to Coca-Cola, believe they can partner with any Leftist, no matter how hate-filled, crazy or extreme, and there will be no consequences: no boycott, no adverse publicity. They wouldn’t dream, however, of partnering with any open American patriot, for then they know the charges of “racism” and boycotts would come from Left-fascists. This perception must change. Geico dropping Linda Sarsour was a good start, but why was she invited in the first place?
Meanwhile, events such as this one legitimize and mainstream White’s hateful views, while the fact that it would be inconceivable for Coke to partner with someone who spoke out for traditional values contributes to the marginalization of those values.
“Coca-Cola Hosts Earth Day Event With Democrat Who Says Jews Control Weather,” by Alana Goodman, Washington Free Beacon, April 20, 2022:
Coca-Cola Consolidated and Giant Food held an Earth Day environmental cleanup event with a Democratic Washington, D.C., councilman who has accused Jews of controlling the climate.
Ward 8 councilman Trayon White Sr., who is challenging incumbent mayor Muriel Bowser in the Democratic mayoral primary, teamed up with the Coke-bottling company and grocery chain last week to host the cleanup day for Oxon Run, a stream located in White’s ward.
White’s fraught relationship with the Jewish community dates back to at least 2018, when he claimed that wealthy Jews used “climate manipulation” to cause bad weather in D.C. and donated $500 in community funds to sponsor a conference by infamous Jew-hater Louis Farrakhan….
White drew controversy in 2018 for his statements about the Rothschilds, a wealthy Jewish family that has been the subject of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories for more than 200 years.
“Man, it just started snowing out of nowhere this morning, man. Y’all better pay attention to this climate control, man, this climate manipulation,” White said in a video he posted on Facebook in 2018. “And D.C. keep talking about, ‘We a resilient city,’ and that’s a model based off the Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disasters they can pay for to own the cities, man. Be careful.”
While attending a city council breakfast, White also claimed that the Rothschilds “pretty much control the federal government” and “control the World Bank, as we all know.”
After public backlash, White apologized for the remarks and agreed to attend a tour of the Holocaust Museum. But many Jewish community leaders questioned his sincerity after he walked out of the tour halfway through…. |
