Well, it turns out things haven't gone so good for wokester company, Penzey's Spices, which ran a 'Republicans are racist' campaign for .. I am not sure what purpose, it wasn't business. According to Fox News: A Wisconsin-based spice company that made headlines earlier this month when its CEO sent an email to customers accusing Republicans of racism is now asking people to buy gift cards after hemorrhaging tens of thousands of customers. Earlier this month, Penzeys Spices CEO Bill Penzey renamed the extended Martin Luther King, Jr. Day weekend to be "Republicans are racist weekend" in a newsletter to...

Penzey’s Spices, the Milwaukee company that held “Republicans are Racist” sale on Martin Luther King Weekend, is now dealing with a massive loss of customers and is begging for new business. “After starting the year with Republicans are Racists we’ve set a nice little Boycott Penzeys! surge in motion,” Penzey’s CEO Bill Penzey said in an email to customers Friday. “It certainly wasn’t unexpected, but if it’s within your means, you picking up a small stack of Gift Cards would help.” Penzey admitted that the “Republicans are Racists” email cost his business 40,000 subscribers, roughly three percent of the total....

Penzey's Spices, the Milwaukee-based company that held "Republicans are Racist Weekend" sale on Martin Luther King, Jr. Weekend earlier this month, is now dealing with a massive loss of customers and is now all but begging for new business. "After starting the year with All Republicans are Republicans and following up with Republicans are Racists we’ve set a nice little Boycott Penzeys! surge in motion," Penzey's CEO Bill Penzey said in an email to customers Friday.

n Martin Luther King (MLK) Jr. Day, a spice company sent out an email calling all Republicans "racist" who largely hope to one day "shoot a Black person." Penzeys Spices, a Wisconsin-based company, issued an email promotion Jan. 14 dubbing the MLK holiday weekend, "Republicans are racist weekend." The promotion went on to accuse Republicans of opposing BLM's success "in moving America towards greater equality for Black people, in many ways the first real success since the time of Dr. King," during the racial justice protests that erupted nationwide during summer 2020. "Republicans did all they could to derail that...

This one has people waking up. Unsubscribing, too, 4/10ths of one percent so far, so it seems worth repeating. I appreciate your emails to my address below, but I’m still working through yesterday’s emails, so you can also click on these Twitter and Facebook page links if you want your comments to reach a wider audience.

Bill Penzey, the owner of Penzey’s Spices, is putting his money where his mouth is by promoting on Facebook the impeachment of President Donald Trump, according to a report from Wisconsin Public Radio (WPR) on Wednesday. “According to advertising data released by Facebook, Penzeys Spices, a Wauwatosa-based spice company, spent $109,933 between Oct. 1 and Oct. 7 posting and reposting an ad that called Trump’s phone call with Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky a ‘mandatory open and shut case for the impeachment,'” WPR reported. The same report notes that Penzey claims the amount he has spent in support of impeachment is...

A Wisconsin-based spice company has been the second-largest buyer of impeachment ads on Facebook in recent days, second only to President Trump himself, according to a new analysis released Tuesday. Penzeys Spices in Wauwatosa, Wis., has spent $92,000 on pro-impeachment ads between Sept. 29 and Oct. 5, according to data compiled by Bully Pulpit Interactive, a Democratic communications agency, and published by Axios. By comparison, the Trump campaign shelled out $718,000 to defend the president after House Democrats launched an impeachment inquiry last month over his dealings with Ukraine, while billionaire philanthropist and Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer was the...

My bride, among her other abilities, is a first rate cook. She received this e-mail from Penzeys Spices: And the results are in from Friday’s Racism Update Email. You may remember this email was us re-sending our previous day’s email. In it we kindly asked those who chose to cast their vote for an openly racist candidate for the President of the United States to take responsibility for their action. With the re-send we put the UNSUBSCRIBE BUTTON right up on top for those needing to use it. We also hoped they would one day come back. The final results...

Penzeys, a Wisconsin-based spice retailer, has accused the Republican Party of embracing racism for backing Donald Trump. “The open embrace of racism by the Republican party in this election is now unleashing a wave of ugliness unseen in this country for decades,” wrote Penzeys CEO Bill Penzey in an email to customers. “The American people are taking notice.”

The CEO of the Wauwatosa-based company Penzeys Spices is drawing social media ire from conservatives — and praise from liberals — for his comments that Republicans who voted for President-elect Donald Trump "just committed the biggest act of racism in American history since Wallace stood in the schoolhouse doorway 53 years ago." The comments, sent in an email to Penzeys Spices customers and posted on the company's Facebook page, were apparently made in an effort to clarify a previous weekly email that CEO Bill Penzey sent to his customers. In that previous email, the very liberal Penzey — who has...

Sorry for the vanity, but... Just received newsletter from Penzey's Spices owner Bill Penzey. We (used to) love the place and have a cabinet full of wonderful spices that delight our noses and our palates. We've been aware of his ideology in the past, and have been able to put it aside and continue to patronize his stores, both brick & mortar and online. But no more. Here is an excerpt from the newsletter, wherein he seems to attempt to extinguish a previously-set fire with a can of gasoline. This guy needs to learn when to STFU... "Racism Update: At...
