President Trump's campaign spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on Facebook ads against impeachment earlier this month. The biggest pro-impeachment spender: A Wisconsin spice company, at more than $100,000. WPR

that called Trump's phone call with Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky a"mandatory open and shut case for the impeachment."

In comparison, Democrat Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign spent $20,000 on impeachment ads in the same time period, according to the report.But company CEO Bill Penzey said this has been their most successful political ad to date. The post has gotten nearly 250,000 likes and 43,000 shares, tipping it into"viral" territory in the realm of social media.The CEO attributes the ad’s particular success to shifting attitudes about President Trump.

Penzey said the most recent ad buy, which he says is now up to $124,000, isn’t a huge amount compared to what the company used to spend on mailing catalogues, which it ceased doing in recent years.Penzey acknowledged his company has gotten some critical feedback from conservative customers concerned with the company's outspoken political stances, but said he has no plans to change the company's advertising strategy.

WPR Imagine being such a rube you cheer $100k in corporate lobbying while employees are shouldering 50% of the benefit costs and part timers get nothing. These people obviously need to pay more taxes.

WPR Love Penny’s!

WPR PenzeysSpices My mom bought me spices by Penzey's... dumping them down the drain! Folks at GrabYourWallet, shannoncoulter please add Penzey's to the list of 'boycottable' organizations based on their support of Trump. Economic pressure is political power!

WPR Must find their website and order some stuff.

WPR How much do the Democrats spend on impeachment? Oh, that’s right it’s other people’s money...

WPR Companies have now become social justice warriors. It’s disgusting Rockefeller Brothers Funds anti Israel extremists who celebrate terrorists & torment Jewish students on campuses. Why not look into Reverend BDS Barber & his links to BDS?

WPR U democrats are living in fantasy land lol! No substance and it’s theft of an election 2016 which now the accusers are in fact trying to steal. I hope you’re happy when trump hands over power to President pence Jan 2025

WPR PenzeysSpices sells some good stuff. This is great. DemocracyNow

WPR Shame on you!

WPR I'm getting rather fed up with all of this Impeachment back-and-forthing. There are far too many TalkingHeads, talking over and above one another, as though each is trying to hog the spotlight. Everyone's a FameWhore, Jeeeez! 👉 Just move ahead, with ousting Trump, already!

WPR Wisconsin spice is wasting $ and delusional! The other participant in the phone call, Zelensky disputes the accusations by the faux “whistleblowers”!

WPR Love PenzeysSpices!

WPR And they have some amazing spices ❤️

WPR Wow. So you’re a fraud, TomSteyer?

WPR

WPR I think I may need some turmeric

WPR Buy Penzey’s, get on their mailing list, and be rewarded with lots of deals and political pins your mother would love! (Not a shill, just a fan)

WPR I love Penzeys! Good job!

WPR Go PenzeysSpices !

WPR People get off Facebook

WPR How dare people participate in their democracy
