SoulCycle, Equinox Face Boycott Calls Due To Owner's Trump Fundraiser | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC
Cancel Culture? Call it what it is, a boycott.
Exactly. I thought his phrasing there was cringey.
It’s called democracy. People have the right to spend their money wherever they like.
Oh, that poor billionaire needs another tax cut.
@KevinIf he’s helping put Trump in the WH the average American does more for “individual’s lives and society” every time they take a dump.
@Kevin
Chump also “contributes” to millions of folks lives, by rolling back environmental regulations, throwing millions OFF social programs (just so he can claim to his base of supporters that he is shrinking welfare rolls), and by giving tax breaks to corporations who turn around AND DON’T HIRE MORE EMPLOYEES.
Yeah, with people like Chump and Ross “contributing” to society, this will be a dead planet by 2099. Glad that I won’t be here.
Andrew Mitchell he probably bought back stocks and shares no losing money on the market. Trade wars so easy to win 😂😂 Karma
If he strongly supports racial equality and environmental protection, why is he raising money for trump?
He’s a hpyocrite. He’s about as much for equality for all as he is for environmental issues..
@2Legit 2BReal What would make you think that? Are you a white supremacist?
@foxdesignbuild foxdesignbuild and these mass murders against the people trump hates doesn’t matter. Their money helps keep the man with the tongue of a serpent and voice of a Dragon to continue his racist hatred rhetoric.
You have the power to make change America! Protest by boycott! 🤛💙
No you don’t.
What about the employees who will be hurt because they work there? The hourly wage people? So ignorant.
Boycott … Done deal ! Money talks
@Roddy McApe what state u from McApe? Fact: minimum wage in moscowmitch home state is $7.25/hr . Hahahahah ….
@B spearbach I think you created your account yesterday as you have 0 subscribers and I noticed other people using similar avatars as yours. I can’t help but think that Russians use accounts like yours to sew the seeds of disruption which are tearing our country apart.
The elite does not care about the small people only there agenda
@Kevin It does help that they are right.
@Dear Leader That’s what you keep telling yourself, but you keep on losing. Take your participation ribbon and go back to bed
The people who lose there jobs they basically saying they don’t care…… if this is what we doing nobody job is safe accept the rich.
Kevin says the guy who came here to tell people they’re wrong and he’s right. Hum… sounds a bit hypocritical.
If people can make even 1 billionaire NOT donate money to trumplethinskin, it is worth it.
😂😂😂😂😂
Try raising that kind of money and give it to underprivileged neighborhoods health care.
Yeah, lets shovel a shitload of virtue points your way…..
Cash value .001 cents….
The federal government isn’t responsible for problems in your district… You should be asking your representatives in your area why that hasn’t been fixed.
@Fred Garvin says the advocate of fascism
@Florian Held Says the advocate of yak urine….
Corporations only listen when we impact their profits, they force us to boycott.
LOL
nya hahaha
Walmart!
@Maudie Icrochet How’d that work out? I know we boycotted Target over their bathroom policy, and they went pffffsssst! =)
KM- Stephen Ross, is also a major investor in Time Warner and was instrumental in development of the building that presently houses CNN- So when are the Liberals going to start boycotting CNN? Selective Moral Outrage and Total Hypocrisy! Chick Fillet & Home Depot, are perfect examples of Liberal boycott success stories!!!
Boycott all them devils
Ok if that’s the case we should kind out who donated to the Clinton’s, Obama’s, warrens, sanders and bookers. It’s only fair.
Patriot Joelephic they not the nazis tho , you are
free world
@S. T
Just boycott all these billionaires that supported Trump’s and associates. They don’t care about the loss of lives the only thing they care about is profit. Boycott Walmart The Walton’s family for the massive shooting took place.
Soul cycle seems to be lacking a soul.
Weak! I bet you’re really proud of yourself huh?
@Sicklady LOL
What does soul cycle have anything to do with this? Steven Ross doesn’t even own them hes just an investor. You guys are straight up morons, you don’t even know who to attack LOL
yeah,their new name is Soul-less cycle
boycott! Dale Carnegie will tell you. The only thing they hear is the change in their pocketbooks. Time to find out who they are, and hit them where it hurts. The only thing they understand. Take their money.
Walmart has been a contributor to trump. Boycott Walmart until the election and write a letter to the company saying so.
Dale would be pro trump baby
This is how it’s done America until equality is not just a talking point!
The Montgomery Bus Boycott was a civil-rights protest during which African Americans refused to ride citybuses in Montgomery, Alabama, to protest segregated seating. … Four days before the boycott began, Rosa Parks, an African-American woman, was arrested and fined for refusing to yield her bus seat to a white man.Feb 3, 2010
Montgomery Bus Boycott – Facts, Significance & Rosa Parks – HISTORY
https://www.history.com/topics/black-history/montgomery-bus-boycott
Thank you for your solidarity with us black folk its greatly appreciated , the Democrats are allowing us to sit on the front of the bus now but they have a new way to mess with us .
Flooding Black American communities with illegal aliens who dont give a crap at all for black American citizens and the struggle of our past as well as our current struggle .
Hard for a black child to get a good education when his or her classroom is overcrowded with illegal alien children who are in competition for the teachers limited attention.
The Democrat party has and always will be poison to the black American people. Or as Hillbi likes to call us “super predators “
What equality is not currently not had? Please elaborate.
He can do whatever he wants with his money and we can do whatever we want with ours. Vote with your feet people and make him pay financially. Do not support his business.
Businesses, plural he owns a foot ball team in a state that has cheated a few Democrats out of their presidencies.
Nothings says i don’t agree like …here let me make lots of money for you!
Hey… he can support whom ever he wants, and his customers can spend their money where ever they want. It’s called Capitalism. You know, the system that made him a billionaire.
The oligarchs are in bed with the fascists.
Of course they are. Corporatism is fascism.
The Democratic Party is moving towards fascism at a rate never seen before. With their corporate Buddies. Look at the biggest companies in this country they’re trying to sway the election left. They are globalists if you think of these people care about you you are sadly mistaken
The top 1% never cared about the people. They used empty talk to try to convince us while funding people like Trump and Pence.
Boycott them all. They will drop trump.
@Marlowe Duggeryou are correct boycott all of Trumps businesses, and associates it worked with the 1960s boycott of grapes with Cesar Chavez for labor civil rights… We all need to stick together and boycott Trump out of office. And let’s not forget boycott Moscow miTch, Lindsey Graham, the backstabber, and all Republicans out-of-office let’s boycott them off from their businesses.
You have it backwards. The people who are trying to control everybody are the Democrats and the globalists you need to dig a little deeper and understand what you’re saying because you are barking up the wrong tree. Trump is supported by regular people that’s why the media hates him so much because the media and the elites hate regular people.
Fact: most billionaires support Trump. We don’t need billionaires in this country (and the world). No one needs that much wealth. Jeff Bezos can alone solve world hunger with his wealth.
So, it makes sense that if you want to be a billionaire too, you need to support Trump. If you want to remain poor, support Democrats. Is it that difficult to comprehend?
S S A not for long they bought back stock with their trillion dollar tax cuts. Stock market in free for all with this easy to win trade war. Karma 😂
strongly supports racial equality LOL hosts a fundraiser for hitler
