Look, silence is "acceptance".

You have the very face of evil sitting there with Pellegrino prominently sitting in front of her.

I happen to think it's appropriate to ask the company; "how they feel about that"?

I happen to agree with most of the posters that have responded to this. In "normal" times, what someone consumes should not become an issue.

These are NOT normal times

All we do by pretending that stuff like this doesn't matter, is "normalize" it.

When the bigoted, evil, racist, sexist, cruel narcissistic sociopath is filmed smiling behind a silver tray of Big Macs, I think it's appropriate to ask McDonald's if they "support this bigoted, evil, racist, sexist, cruel narcissistic sociopath".

As far as I'm concerned, that's a "valid" question to ask. In fact, not asking it, or the company not distancing themselves from it, is "acceptance".

We are seriously in a battle to save our country. You may find it ridiculous, but I think these companies have a duty to...at a minimum...repudiate these people.

In a just and free world, seeing your product in the blood-stained hands of these monsters and remaining silent should be an economic "kiss of death"
