'Worse than a tariff': Jack Daniel's maker complains about backlash from Trump's policies

[Ms. Toad]

41. Aspersions were cast against a specific person -

and all evidence I can find points to him supporting more Democratic candidates than Republicans. While you are correct that business people play both sides (I've said that myself), the evidence that they play both sides is typically found in ways that can be publicly tied to them. There is no benefit to playing both sides if the recipient of the donation can't be publicly identified.

The fact that his company is being hurt by the tariffs and he is speaking out isn't justification for casting aspersions that he is a secret Republican who FAFO, when all the evidence anyone in this thread has presented suggests he leans Democratic.

If you've got some evidence, bring it. Otherwise it's just unjustified assumptions because he happens to live in Tennessee, or because he happens to be speaking out about the tariffs and your confirmation bias would like him to be Republican.
