Huffington Post ^ | Sept. 15, 2018 | Sebastian Murdock

The L Brands CEO had previously condemned Donald Trump’s response to Charlottesville in a speech to employees.

Ohio billionaire and longtime Republican donor Les Wexner says he is officially done with the party, and was prompted to leave after former President Barack Obama visited the state.

Wexner, the CEO of retail conglomerate L Brands, which owns Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works, announced at a leadership summit in Columbus on Thursday that he “won’t support this nonsense in the Republican Party” anymore, The Columbus Dispatch reported.

The announcement, made at a panel discussion, came the same day Obama visited Columbus before heading to a rally in Cleveland to support Democrat Richard Cordray’s run for governor.

"right after Obama visited the state" -- very interesting. I wonder what went on behind the scenes.

Main thing is that other Republicans, large and small donors need to fill the void, to elect Republicans to Congress and reelect President Trump to help Make America Great Again.

A CEO who can’t stand all the prosperity?

His stores have to be booming with the Trump economy.

Well, maybe not Victoria’s Secret. Kinda dated.

But don’t worry, with an attitude like his, think the Board won’t wait long to fix things.

He might want to polish his resume.

Leftists in disguise.

They’ll only support the GOP/RNC when the GOP/RNC is doing the commiesucm’s bidding.

A proper inquisition might question any and all whoever have taken money from the deceivers.

This guy must have gained courage after seeing Nike stock rebound. But Nike caters to children, ignorant adults, and places fully-stocked with people who view law enforcement officers as “pigs.” There is a huge market for Nike messaging.

Not clear to me L Brands has the same market.

Good to know he outed himself as a man with no real convictions and wifh no principles.

I guess he put his finger to the wind and decided its time to jump ship.

You never see stories of a Rat doing it.

GOP needs to be purged, utterly, of all RINOs, period.

All it took was Obama and a fistful of photos showing Wexner screwing little kids.

Hypothetically, of course

Once you go Kenyan, you don’t go back.

I’ve never bought a thing from either of those stores so banning them won’t affect my shopping habits.
