"Many House Republicans wrap themselves in the flag and patriotic rhetoric. But they have nothing to say when fake leader of the free world blatantly sides with a Communist North Korean Dictator? PHONIES." - Speaker Pelosi

 

[BULLDOG]

Typical right wing crap. The sad part is that so many crazies support those kinds of lies.

Fresno Grizzlies apologize to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for 'offensive' tribute video

Fresno Grizzlies apologize to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for 'offensive' tribute video

Between games of a Memorial Day doubleheader, the Grizzlies aired what was supposed to be a moving tribute to fallen soldiers, a speech by the late President Ronald Reagan on sacrifice and courage in the name of duty. But as Reagan’s voice mentioned “enemies of freedom,” the video tucked present-day figures, including U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) between images of North Korea’s Kim Jong-Un and the late Fidel Castro of Cuba.

Obviously, the video — which you can watch here — wasn’t patriotic but a not particularly subtle bit of propaganda, one completely at odds with the concept of “moral courage” that Reagan spoke of earlier in the speech. The Grizzlies employee responsible for airing the video apparently didn’t watch it all the way through, according to the team.

The Grizzlies offered up an apology shortly after the incident, expressing regret for the “misleading and offensive editing, which made a statement that was not our intent and certainly not our opinion.”

The team is losing sponsors over this kerfuffle.

>> Businesses continue to drop their sponsorship deals with the Fresno Grizzlies this week in the wake of a misleading video suggesting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was an “enemy of freedom” to America.

The Triple-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals aired the video between games of a Memorial Day doubleheader in an effort to honor fallen soldiers for their sacrifice and courage. They apologized for Ocasio-Cortez’ inclusion, which resulted in more death threats for the Democratic New York representative, and spent the week watching sponsors pull away.

Heineken-owned beers drop Grizzlies

Tecate wrote a statement to individual Twitter users who asked about the relationship or stated they’d no longer be drinking the beer. The company wrote it has “always been about togetherness” and does not support the airing of the video.

✔@tecate

Tecate has always been about togetherness and we do not support the views expressed in the video, that was aired during the Fresno Grizzlies game on Memorial day. We have ended this relationship effective immediately and have let the team know of our decision.​

Dos Equis did the same, stating it was “disheartened to learn of the views expressed in the video” and that it does “not reflect our core values.”

✔@DosEquis

We are disheartened to learn of the views expressed in the video that aired during Monday’s Fresno Grizzlies game, as they do not reflect our core values. We have ended our relationship with the team, effective immediately, and we have informed them accordingly.

Sun-Maid 1st to leave Grizzlies

Sun-Maid’s statement, via The Bee:

“We are deeply disappointed by the Memorial Day tribute video the Fresno Grizzlies aired on Monday. Sun-Maid does not support the views or sentiments expressed in the video, nor does it condone the airing of it.

“While the Grizzlies have apologized for this mistake, we are standing on the side of what we believe is right and terminating our sponsorship of the team.”

.... The Nationals told the Washington Post on Thursday they were “comfortable” with the results of an investigation. Per the investigation detailed in the Post, an employee pulled the incorrect version of a video the employee had been using for years. It was not fully watched before it aired.
​

The employee is “remorseful,” per the team spokesperson to the Bee, “has been reprimanded,” and will not be fired. << -- Yahoo Sports


Hmm.... "pulled an incorrect version of a video the employee had been using for years". And AOC has only been in office five months. Isn't that interesting.

Don't know what kind of canned heat you're drinking but the post you quoted --- doesn't say that either.
