Corporations don't want controversy. They would've gotten rid of him if he'd tweeted something controversial about "those pro-abortion people" or the like.
It's not WHAT an endorser says, or the stance taken. It's the CONTROVERSY that's the problem.
Corporations hire people to sell products. Products won't sell to people who are offended by controversial statements....one-half, either right or left, won't watch the commerical or buy the product.
You takes your chances when you're an endorser and decide to be controversial.
