Keurig CEO Bob Gamgort apologized to employees Monday for the negative attention brought to the brand after announcing on Twitter that it had stopped running ads during Sean Hannity’s Fox News show.
Fox News fans started a #BoycottKeurig hashtag and uploaded videos of them smashing and setting coffee makers on fire after the company announced on Twitter that it had pulled ads from “Hannity” following the host’s radio interview of Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore, who is accused of having sexual contact with a 14-year-old four decades ago.
In a memo to employees published by The Washington Post, Mr. Gamgort said the company’s “highly unusual” decision to announce its plans publicly was “outside of company protocols.”
“This gave the appearance of ‘taking sides’ in an emotionally charged debate that escalated on Twitter and beyond over the weekend, which was not our intent,” the CEO wrote. “Clearly, this is an unacceptable situation that requires an overhaul of our issues response and external communications policies and the introduction of safeguards to ensure this never happen again. Our company and brand reputations are too valuable to be put at risk in this manner.“I apologize for any negativity that you have experienced as a result of this situation and assure you that we will learn and improve going forward,” he added.

Does that mean they are not pulling their ads?
-
That was a pretty cringe worthy interview with Hannity tossing Moore softballs that he just kept missing
Hannity had to actually do damage control to save Moore from himself
Apparently Hannity fans are OK with pedophiles

I'm not sure at this point.
Hannity has called for a ceasefire on the boycott.

pretty fucking funny to watch Trumptards destroy something that they paid for with their own hard earned money and probably also enjoy

Coach destroyed this instead ;D
