Costco has reportedly stopped selling Palmetto Cheese after the owner of the pimento cheese brand called Black Lives Matter a "terror organization."

The warehouse club pulled Palmetto Cheese, which had been sold in more than 120 of its stores, after Brian Henry, the founder of Palmetto Cheese and mayor of Pawleys Island, South Carolina, drew criticism for writing in a Facebook post on August 25 that he was "sickened by the senseless killings in Georgetown," according to news reports.

The media never cover a story concerning black on white crime, nationally, unless it advances their divisive liberal agenda. The founder only said what was true, and in being punished for speaking the truth.

Hey, at least he didn’t say “SOROS!”

Is Palmetto cheese made with bugs?

Time to drop Costco.

“Is Palmetto cheese made with bugs?”

Don’t be absurd. The cheese comes from the milk of palmetto trees.

[Bon of Babble]

Thanks for that- I was about to ask where Palmetto cheese could be found. I grew up eating pimento cheese - we’d put it in celery stalks.

Already dropped CostCo - cowards!

Your link says it’s available at Sprouts, so I’ll go there. Deserves our support along with Goya products.

The executives that make these decisions ... What planet do they live on?

[bobcat62]

Washington State. Most likely, the planet of Issaquah.

I eat his pimento cheese, very good. Of course he is right, BLM is a terrorist and Marxist organization.

[RebelTXRose]

not made with bugs! SC = Palmetto State.
Pimiento Cheese is a southern thing - LOVE IT!

When we lived in Buff area, I asked for it - the guy at Weggies told me he had pimientos and cheese but not together.
I told him to try it some time.

WTH is wrong with Costco???????????

[servo1969]

We used to milk the palmetto trees when we went down to Tybee Island.

I’m not crazy about what Costco did, but upper management in companies need to realize they go political at their peril.

Get woke, go broke.

Stupid is as stupid does.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

[moovova]

It’s good stuff...a little spicy. There’s a tub of it in the fridge right now.

[moovova]

Sam’s Club also...at least in Pineville NC.

[Vaduz]

The media still trying to teach people freedom of speech is one sided only.

[yeff]

Is that a thumbs up for Costco in Pineville? Asking from Rock Hill.
