Left-leaning groups pressure companies not to hire ex-Trump officials
Fox News ^ | January 26, 2021 | Thomas Barrabi

Posted on 01/27/2021 5:14:04 PM PST by lowbridge

A left-leaning advocacy group launched a campaign Tuesday which calls for major corporations to pledge not to hire former senior Trump administration officials who helped to implement what it described as "cruel and anti-democratic policies."

Dubbed the "Campaign against Corporate Complicity," the initiative is a collaboration between the public interest groups American Oversight and Accountable.us. The campaign will keep a rolling list of former Trump administration officials and track their career moves following their exits from the White House.

The campaign’s website features a section entitled "The Trump administration’s greatest transgressions," including the alleged complicity of officials in inciting the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, the administration’s controversial family separation policy at the border, and its "failed" response to the coronavirus pandemic. In an open letter, the groups called on American CEOs to shun senior officials as they enter the private sector.

"We call on you to make it clear that you will not hire for employment, contract for consulting, or seat on your boards any senior-level official from the Trump administration that has participated in undermining our democracy, endorsing violent extremism, or tearing families apart," the groups said in a letter to America’s CEOs. "Senior officials who did so must not be allowed to cash in on the devastation they’ve wrought through high-paying speaking fees, consultancies, book deals, or jobs in the boardrooms and corner offices of our nation's businesses."

The groups said their campaign will focus on media organizations, publishing houses and speaking firms, among other potential employers.

The groups self-identify as "nonpartisan government watchdogs." However, they do not disclose their funding and have staff overlaps with Democratic groups.

The whole point of this is to discourage anyone for working for Trump should he run again.

It would be pretty tough for Trump to make his case, if people realize nobody would want to work for him, given the pressure on them not to take a job in his administration.

But hey, there will be 100 percent employment as long
as you make your norm.

Imagine what would happen if right-leaning groups pressured companies not to hire ex Obama officials.

They would be accused of racism, fascism, war against women....

Cancel culture: “we still remember when we canceled people and drove them on trains to ovens.”
That is the next step.
Wholesale mass murder.

Actually worse. This is another step on the road to one party rule.

Seems like it should be illegal to discriminate on someone’s political views.

Left-leaning “Communist” groups pressure companies not to hire ex-Trump officials.

The French Revolution method would still work wonders some places.

Americans better WISE UP/

Those “employers” who have connections in China would be the employer who might follow that violation of civil rights.
Key swamp demons were making fortunes when they allowed US companies in a number of industries including pharma, computer; and electrical as well metal fabrication components even bicycles relocate their factories in China . To the point where China was our sole supplier.
The money the CCP has now comes from US .If we played our Chinese checkers right and the courts allowed evidence of lection fraud to be presented and Trump made it. We could of really turn things around for the better not only here but in China as well.
Check out this recent posting in Free Republic.com which the MSM and social venues will spike; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3890312/posts. will be stopped by Biden and hailed by Walmart http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3920123/posts

Instead this happened . And its breaking an EO edict just to say it
A BIDEN WIN IS AN AWARD TO CHINA FOR INVADING US USING COVID 19, Here’s the reason why the CCP did it....

Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.

Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present Trump’s name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.

Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.When they released it that was the CCP intention but it got away from them and went world wide

Yep, so much for that “you can’t ask about sex, race, religion, etc.”, except for politics. You are allowed AND ENCOURAGED to discriminate against Trump supporters because some people (mostly ANTIFA) did some things.
