A new "Soup Nazi"?

I have a quirk when it comes to breakfast.  If I go out to eat, I have traditional breakfast fare.  But if I'm home and make my own breakfast, I'll make soup.  Campbell's Soup, one of several different flavors they offer. 

Turns out that the CEO of Campbells' Denise Morrison, is one of the members of the Liar-In-Chief's Manufacturing Jobs Initiative council.  In the wake of three other CEOs having chosen to leave that group, it is worth looking at the remaining CEO types who are part of that group and another, the Strategic and Policy forum.  Thanks to Michael Hiltzik of the L.A. Times, we can look at a clear list of the remaining members of those groups:

Edit:  Make it four CEOs that have resigned.  Scott Paul tweeted out his resignation after this was initially written.

Here are the companies retaining membership on Trump’s two major business panels, the Strategic and Policy Forum (designated SP in this list), and the Manufacturing Jobs Initiative (MJ). A handy spreadsheet as of late Monday can be found here, courtesy of Forbes. We’ll update the roster if changes occur Tuesday. In some cases, company spokespersons left their positions ambiguous; when they cited the virtues of remaining “engaged” with government officials, we interpreted that as affirming continued membership.

Affirmatively staying on:

--General Motors, CEO Mary Barra (SP)
--Cleveland Clinic, CEO Toby Cosgrove (SP)
--JP Morgan Chase, CEO Jamie Dimon (SP)

Aside from Campbells, I don't spend money with most of the other firms who have made it clear they are staying on Trump's councils.  And the fact I will stop spending roughly ten bucks a week on Campbell's soups starting today won't have any impact on their bottom line.  But the people who started the hashtag #SoupNazi yesterday in referring to Ms Morrison got my attention. 

But if I am not the only one, then we can send a message to these CEOs.  Their continuing to serve the man who refused to denounce neo-Nazis and White Nationalists at the moment one of that number killed Heather Heyer and tried to kill dozens more; is wrong.  It is an implied endorsement of what Trump did and said at the time.  Yes, he finally specially denounced the KKK, neo-Nazis and White Nationalists.  Two days too late.

Silence is assent and consent.
