People on social media are calling for a boycott of Home Depot after its co-founder pledged his support for President Trump in the upcoming 2020 election.in Fox News, Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus explained why he was supporting a second term for President Trump and why other Americans should do similarly. $7 million to Trump during the 2016 campaign, data from the Center for Responsive Politics showed.
"Bernie retired from The Home Depot about 20 years ago and does not speak on behalf of the company," a Home Depot spokesperson told Business Insider. "The Home Depot does not give money to presidential campaigns or endorse presidential candidates."
ShoshanaCiment Yes let’s protest a company who donates supplies nationwide to veterans, struggling inner city homes/shelters, and donated there entire stock of Covid masks to frontline workers. Great job ShoshanaCiment
Only spineless, childish , mindless deushbags would even consider pondering these actions
ShoshanaCiment Once again the liberals try to use Communist tactics to silence, oppress, or destroy people they disagree with. The liberals in America are Communists that preach hate for people that won't support their radical Socialist/Communist ideology.
ShoshanaCiment That's fine.. Judging from the looks of these 'protesters' and people that would boycott, they probably couldn't tell the difference between a set of pliers and a ratchet. Probably never set foot in a hardware store in their lives.
In future news, Home Depot sales go up.
Thank God Lowe's is there.
Boycott Business Insider! Business Insider is FakeNews
Billionaire business owners will vote for whomever will provide them with the cheapest borrowing cost, unlimited underwriting, and legislative approval for redistributing the least amount of capital. No surprise here.
This isn't anything new he's been on board with Trump since the beginning.
Boycott Home Depot !! I won’t buy there any more , let’s show this guy that supporting bigotry is not the answer
Hahaha...crazy world
Smart move Home Depot! Watch sales increase...I know I'll gladly spend my hard earned money at Home Depot for sure!!!
Boy....honestly. How can anyone pay money for this garbage called Business Insider. Stalin would have been proud.
Oh, is dat what they call democracy.Democraty means that you have the right to follow your own convictions whether it suits others or not.
He’s been an ardent Trump /GOP supporter for years. Nothing new here. And frankly doesn’t have anything to do with the company anymore - I don’t like his views but let’s be fair
Lol most Home Depot customers are Trump supporters
Business Insider, don't start that false rumor. Next time name the source given the damage you can cause with this careless statement. I'm pretty sure Home Depot has the best lawyers. Again, name the source, which you obviously can't. Americans love their Home Depot!!!
The other co-founder has donated mostly to Democratic causes
HomeDepotSucks
why boycott home depot 😂😂😂
Screw cancel culture.
Yes
He has publicly supported him for over a year. People are just learning this now. Also Disney, Charles Schwaub, Uline, Revlon, TD Ameritrade and about every casino owner. See
Why cancel him? This has got to stop is enough
Corporate billionaires voting for a system that allows them to evade taxes, pay proper wages to employees and a system that is rigged in their favor? So shocking and surprising! The same system allows Trump to live on loans and have hundreds of millions in debt written off.
I don't believe for one second...and I'm on my way to home depot right now.
I guarantee it’s 95% white liberals who don’t even own a screwdriver.
Bully tactics. Only The Left does this. This is why there is a huge Silent vote.
Another of many examples as to why the Dems will lose.
Great. Now I'm going to Home Depot to shop.
Don’t boycott for opinions. But, do boycott for actions.
WTF I love Home Depot now.
Democrats only care for democracy as long as you vote for their guy.
I doubt your average vegan, non-binary, green haired liberal spends much time at Home Depot anyway.
People are idiots
Cancel culture is ridiculous. This leads to a very scary future
Haha. Home Depot isn't going to cave under pressure like Biden did in Texas.
Hello, please check out my gig if you need any kind of graphic design.
boycotting over this? LOL
The same people who scream about voter suppression...
'People are calling' .... hoax
Just more proof as the widespread ignorance of the Yankes! Just another reason to BOYCOTT US companies! Home Hardware is SUPERIOR
He’s a good man that puts many people to work. He sells a lot of American made products in his stores. We need more people like him. He gets it that Trump stands for the working man. Rep. Debbie Dingle has figured this out too!
I think the smart thing for business owners/representatives do is to keep their opinions to themselves
Naa- we Americans respect every citizens right to vote as he sees fit. Its democracy. Those with different opinions deserve respect always. We don't cancel others with different opinions, even if we disagree with them.
thisisinsider Silent majority are waiting 😐😐
Boycotts are unAmerican. The media should be condemning them.
Most wealthy people do.
Yet another example of the tolerant Left: Destroy everyone that doesn't think like us.
His sales are absolutely through the roof and it’s clear that consumerist capital benefits from the building/rebuilding necessary during uncontrolled pandemic conditions.
He's free to say what he wants, and people are free to go to Lowes. Better quality stuff at Lowes anyway.
Lowes it is then
People are soft
You can’t be surprised by this. Most rich ppl support trump - they don’t care about the racism/xenophobia, all they care about is paying less taxes.
Yes Boycott!
Idiots. Boycotting because he’s a trump supporter
There are many that are voting Trump and it’s just something we must respect and accept. Stop the hate.
People wonder why polls get it wrong. These witch hunts are the reason why. People are scared to say anything in case they get hounded by the left. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump did win again and for another 4 years idiots will be wondering why.
Gimme a break . I don’t like Trump but man today’s democrat is nothing more than a spoiled brat ! God forbid someone have a different opinion
They just now are realizing this?
Cutting up my HD card. ✅
So should all people boycott businesses voting for Biden?
Go ahead they don’t need your business
He’s voting his interest the top %1 so just stay masked up and isolated I hate for Corona to tap his shoulders!
Live poll ! Ill vote for the winner.Thanks for your help. Please RT
It's never a good idea to mix politics with business as you end up alienating half of your potential customer base.
I like business
