Wauwatosa-based Penzeys Spices, a national company, says Republicans are “racists” — all Republicans. This is yet another company who doesn’t care if he loses half his customers.
In a Friday, Jan. 14 morning email blast from the company to customers, the subject line read: “Republicans Are Racists Weekend.”
In the email, CEO Bill Penzey addresses Republicans: “If you are a Republican voter you are now cheesed off. You were promised that there would never be any accountability for your support of the party of open โtextbookโ racism. Sorry, but for the betterment of all Americans, you included, weโve decided to end that rule. And I really donโt care what your race is or how many of your friends โhappen to beโ whatever. None of that excuses you.”
The company also posted the message to its Facebook page, which drew mixed reactions. “I just threw out my โBe Kind Penzeysโ magnet. What a hypocritical company,” responded one person.
Penzey launched attacks against the GOP and made comments incensing people at other times.
In 2014, Penzey wrote that residents of Waukesha County had “fled west” to escape diversity in Milwaukee. In 2016,ย he accusedย supporters of Donald Trump of committing “racism” by voting for Trump.
