Yeah...what’s he doing on CNBC in the first place?
Really, didn’t he realize the camping crowd is also the 2nd amendment crowd, the hunting fishing crowd, and the nascar crowd....all extremely likely to be flyover deplorables.
I would fire a CEO who had so little insight about his own customer base.
I suggest finding something to trip on while walking out the door.
Camping World sells RVs and trailers.
” a typical midlife crisis balding white guy with a shaved head”
Aaaaargh,you just described my 3 sons-———but they don’t dress in black and aren’t libs.:-)
.
Agreed, two more years then Seeyabye.
Ditto. For once I'd love to see conservatives simply walk away from doing business with one of these jerks and shut him down. But, sadly, it'll be a distant memory in a few days.
I enjoyed his show, The Profit, and knew he was a big lib because he bashed Trump and supported Hillary in the election after the Access Hollywood tape. But was willing to overlook it because a lot of people are good at business but brainwashed politically. People, Places, Product, but no Trump supporters. I guess this guy isn’t as smart as I thought. He owns more than just Camping World. There are dozens of businesses.
Hillary supporters shop at Carpet World.
just the ones who have the munchies
You nailed it. He is pouring gas on the fire and then cries because the house burned down.
Hypocrite.
How can this few losers cause the drama they're causing?
The solution is to officially ‘retire’ the word “NAZI” ... people who once called themselves “Nazi” AND were a threat to the world were defeated. They were able to inflict misery on the world because they were the GERMAN ESTABLISHMENT of their time. They were the German elites. They had the power of Government behind them... the Nazis WERE power elites. Get it? They were monsters because of the mixture of evil and power.
American Nazis are losers.
And the only way these losers can make grown men quake in their boots is to use the term “Nazi” . Why? Because if they said, “We're 47 unemployed losers who hate Jews’ no one would fear them. They would be laughed out of any gathering. No quaking in the boots... no ‘freak out’ they might ‘take over’... all the drama would be gone.
So, retire the word.
Unless someone can prove they were a Nazi in Germany during World War II they ARE NOT a ‘true’ Nazi.
Same with communist who claim to be like Stalin's goons. Yes, Stalin murdered over 7 million people - starving most to death. But that does NOT mean 30 losers from Podunk must be FEARED because they call themselves Stalinist...
Everyone needs to take a deep breath and get real.
His political opinions haven’t seemed to effect the stock price yet. It’s a matter of time before a company is hit with a class action shareholder lawsuit for this type of stupidity. My Dad always told me “don’t shit where you eat”, e.g. don’t do stupid stuff at work.
When I saw mention of 63 million in a related thread, I recall that is close to the number of votes DJTrump received. And that is also a heck of a lot of potential customers to piss off.
[Note to Camping World CEO: See Macy’s.]
Too damn late clown!! You should’ve kept your freakin yep shut!!!
He also just purchased the bankrupt Gander Mountain which he will reopen and rebrand as Gander Outdoors. Stay clear of this business as Marcus wishes.
Go ahead and alienate the people who actually have jobs and disposable income.
He posted it on facebook and here’s an excerpt:
Last week I gave my opinion on what had happened. I made the mistake of letting my fear and emotion talk about subjects that I shouldn’t have. As the CEO of a business, I am responsible to take care of the people that work there. I opened my mouth and put them in harms way. While I know, that the headline published was taken out of context and I have to live with that. there should have never been a headline and I gave a chance to live.
My apology is sincere. It is to my employees who have been forced to deal with this. I am nothing without you. I am here to serve, guide and protect you. I will work harder. Please forgive me. Please don’t punish them.
I apologize to anyone who has supported their cause , their political preference, their candidate, their beliefs. I was Not raised this way and have always been taught to respect everyone. This is a free county and my fears shouldn’t be projected on anyone. I am asking for your forgiveness. I should have not disrespected that and will not again.
I apologize to the people who have followed my show for years and have said they have learned so much and are inspired, who now say that have been let down and will never trust me again.
I DO NOT apologize to anyone who is in favor or hate, violence, bigotry or racism. And I will do my part to help eliminate it from both sides. One way I do that is by being an example. You are the reason I made this mistake. You took my common sense away and purpose. I will not let you beat me or beat me down.

The age-old “I’ve been misunderstood/misquoted” non-walkbacks.
Why bother to clarify? We all know what you mean anyway.
Too late. Camping World is nothing but a cheap Chinese importer anyway. They have always been a ripoff, too.
