Atheist drops golfer’s sponsorship over fears Ted Cruz, Glenn Beck could taint business [View all]
An atheist businessman in Virginia has ended his sponsorship of a professional golfer because he did not want his business associated with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) or conservative radio host Glenn Beck.
The Blaze reported on Monday that David Reynolds, golfer Jeff Cochran’s agent, received a letter from Virginia business man Brian McMahon last month to notify him that the relationship had been terminated.
“I have never had an issue with you or Jeff for that matter but this situation is very disturbing,” McMahon explained. “I have been tolerant of his religious views and even supported his off course speaking.”
However, I just can’t allow my company to be associated with these radical political views,” the businessman continued. “The idea that Jeff would line up with the likes of Glenn Beck or Ted Cruz or any other individual interested in destroying America, just isn’t something that I can swallow.”
According to The Blaze, that letter came after a dinner where Cochran praised Ted Cruz’s father, Rafael, for his appearance on Beck’s radio show.
