Penzeys Spices CEO Bill Penzey renamed the weekend celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr. as 'Republicans are racists weekend' in a promotion for his company.

of his earlier newsletter, Penzey reached out and thanked FOX Business for "delivering [his] words to exactly where they needed to go." The CEO did not respond to FOX Business' request for comment on his "Republicans are racists weekend" message.

A self-proclaimed "lifelong Penzeys customer" from a prominent investment firm who spoke with FOX Business on condition of anonymity, said he was so shocked when a colleague sent him the "Republicans are racists" email that he thought it was a joke and that someone had hacked Penzeys Spices' system.

Who cares? The guy inherited a business from his dad. He has a right to spew hate as much as you have a right not to shop there. A dumb business move. However, this is the Democratic Party of 2022. The party of acceptance is anything but that.

If he was the Old Bay CEO maybe I'd care

And if a Republican said this?

They lost my business when the got political last year.

I hope he's not using public money....

I firmly believe the modern day Democrat party are the actual racists. They teach people of color to be victims of the “system” and that you can’t accomplish anything yourself without our involvement and assistance.

I belong to a cooking group on FB and it’s real nice because it’s all about cooking and baking no politics at all. Injecting politics into something that isn’t political and in such a nasty way is reprehensible. Shame on Penzeys

Never step foot in those stores again aweful

I used to buy from them but haven’t in a long time after they revealed their mean-spirited views disguised as “we care for people” because we cook. They don’t and should get back to their kitchens.

Not an R or D, AND not a Penzeys customer anymore, either.

And I care about his opinion how again?
