Charles Payne on ‘Phony’ Corporate America Virtue Signaling: ‘Shut up,’ Do ‘Right Thing’
NewsBusters ^ | 5/25/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 05/25/2021 6:03:20 AM PDT by JV3MRC

Fox Business host Charles Payne completely tore into corporate America for virtue signaling on social justice issues like racism.

Payne slammed the faux outrage coming from big businesses pandering to the left. “The bottom line is corporate virtue signaling is not only phony, but it is actually making the situation worse. So, my message to corporate America is just shut up, and do the right thing. That is, if you really give a damn,” Payne said during the May 20 edition of Making Money. Payne stated that he was leery of big businesses “opining openly on social issues, and more recently, taking even stronger political sides.” He said his first instinct when he sees corporate America going woke was to ask, “‘What are they hiding?’”

They no longer have any idea what the right thing is anymore.

They are hiding from the corrupt Left. It's easier to go full PC then to be attacked by a corrupt Leftist media 24/7. They take the easy way out. The only solution is to take back the schools and the media to right this sinking ship.

The same effect as an email to your dem-o-rat representative.

“Payne slammed the faux outrage coming from big businesses pandering to the left.”

The near complete collapse of corporate leadership - combined with the collapse of American political, moral, educational, cultural, and even scientific leadership - is a cause of concern.

Not many countries have survived losses like that.

I would suggest half of the CEOs in America can’t properly lead a company or manage a product.

When we drove from Kentucky to Seattle, and then from Kentucky to southern Texas, we found the same thing: All of the Loves and Pilot gas stations had “masks required” signs in their door windows, even in states where there was no mask mandate. We never wore masks and nobody ever said anything.

We just saw it as corporate covering their bases.

My company is commemorating the anniversary of George Floyd’s death and talking about how to attract more black professionals.

I’m not quite career-suicidal enough to ask about commemorating white victims of black crime.

Yes he does. I’ve always liked his appearances on Fox News, he certainly comes off as a straight shooter. Too bad I haven’t watched Fox News/Fox Business since last November.

“ My company is commemorating the anniversary of George Floyd’s death and talking about how to attract more black professionals.”

I’m sitting in on a video Town Hall for my company right this minute. It started out with a mention of George Floyd and went on for a couple of minutes. Apparently we can take some time off to reflect should we so chose. All I could think of is what losers the speakers are. At least they couldn’t hear me laughing at them.

Virtue Signaling is nothing more than racism against whites and men. Companies that so this are experiencing large turnovers of their productive staff; black and white, men and women.

I have been an admirer of Charles Payne for a long time.

And the more I see, the more I admire. One great guy.

Its worse than a national psychosis. This low life scum bag croaked due to his own foibles. The coppers did not wake up with the idea of “killing” him. Frankly, left to his own, he would have terminated within a few years anyway.

Meanwhile while society is tilting at this supposed racial injustice, our country is headed down a rabbit hole led by a stuttering mental midget hell bent on revenge but for what I cannot fathom. The SOB has led a charmed life in the arms of politics and enriched himself and family beyond belief while accomplishing not a damn thing.

He would have been that day. He was extremely overdosed on drugs at the time and would not have lived.
