Wegmans faces boycott over Trump wines
MSN Money ^ | February 15, 2017 | Todd Clausen

Wegmans Food Markets is the latest retailer to face political pressure for carrying products connected to President Donald Trump.

The Gates-based grocer is being called on to remove Trump Winery products from its Virginia stores, where it sells 237 different wines from 58 wineries in that state.

The Stop Trump Wine group has asked Virginians to boycott grocers, retailers, restaurants and other organizations doing business with Trump Winery.

Wegmans sold Trump wines before he became a political figure.
No reason to stop selling the brand.

They understand that economic warfare is a tool used in political warfare.

The closest Wegman’s to me is about 45 minutes away, but I make sure I go there at often as possible. I grew up with Wegman’s in Rochester, NY.

Maybe Trump wines could come out with a "pink Pussey" wine
All of the flavor
But with none of the alcohol (no further headaches for the DEM/libs)

Oh when I lived in PA. I used to shop at Wegmans, they have the freshest veggies and fruits and meats and fish...

I used to get ‘locs’ there (raw salmon) and everything was clean, neat and smelled great...

Best place to shop, if you have one near you, please do...

Is this Stop Trump Wine Whiner group financed by the same little dirty old man who financed Clintoonie’s losing presidential campaign? If so, is this “boycott” ethical?

I’m fine with boycotts. I’m also cool with buycotts. Weggies has issues, but 45’s wines ain’t one of them. If they sell, that is. If they do, Weggies would be nuts to dump them. The chain needs all tbe help it can get.

Wegmans is a really nice supermarket. I don’t know if our local one has Trump wine, but if they do I’ll buy it.

No problem——I’d love some lox now with a poppyseed bagel and some good cream cheese.

Its a very well organized and probably externally funded campaign that was set up about 6 months ago

An investigative report of its founder “Coulter” and where she got funding, would be illuminating

Shannon Coulter

Sure saving me a lot of money as retailers cave to Shannon Coulter’s tortious interference

At some point, people will say, "Who cares?".

Much like the "Boycott XYZ Corp because they did something liberal or had an employee who did something stupid" crowd here on FR. After the first dozen or so, it's just noise.

Have you ever been a Member of the Communist Party? - BAD.

Have you ever purchased a product attached to the Trump Family, stayed or Golfed at a Trump Property, known anyone who has or have you frequented any Establishment that sells Trump products? - GOOD.
