Geico’s one of the most ‘progressive’ insurance companies out there. I’m kinda’ surprised they even pulled the invite.
What? The Geico gecko is a muzzie? Do the females wear gecko burkas in green, cannot get a gecko-ducation and can they drive the mini-vehicles that “the gecko” drives?
No way to apologize now. You invited an advocate for murder of innocents to speak in a public forum. Nope.
If folks don’t know about the gecko.... The fact they invited the bi&$h in the first place should tell you all you need to know.
How did GEICO “accidentally” invite the famous anti-Semite Linda Sarsour to headline their event? Did they not do a simple, basic search of her name? They knew exactly what they were doing and got called out for it.
I requested a quote from Geico years ago. I still haven’t stopped laughing.
The only positive impression I have of GEICO is when their Halloween TV commercial shows up every October.
The cockroach.
If hadn’t made such a huge amount of money on mine long term Berkshire Hathaway holdings, I’d sell. Of course, I can’t afford the tax hit.
All I ever wanted to know about the company I learned from my father. Back in the mid 1970s GEICO decided that they couldn’t make any money in North and South Carolina so they pulled out. Back in those days insurance companies could cancel a client’s policy with no notice. But the worst part was that switching insurance carriers was nearly impossible to do back then. Several military members were left high and dry. They eventually got it worked out but the change still hit many in the pocketbook. BTW GEICO stands for Government Employees Insurance Company.
They do seem to attract more than their share of extremist wackadoodles. About 2010 they fired lizard voice actor D.C. Douglas because he was making obscene telephone calls to the TEA Party.
