Now tell the whole story, Zack.
BTW, I feel for the guy but he is was the head of a company that sold guns. His choice (which he made public) was not appreciated by his customers who then decided to boycott the business.
Cooper then decided, of his own free will, to resign because he did not want to further hurt the company or it's employees.
from what I understand, he wasn't backed by the board and they asked him to resign.
Which he did willingly.
I think it's wrong when the right of free vote isn't respected.
The right to pick whatever political party isn't something your employer ever should even have opinions on.
That's a private matter.
The whole idea that he's leaving because of what he's voting for is just absurd.
This is like the Commies in Soviet, if you supported the wrong guy in the Party, your career was fcuked.
