    The company didn’t know.

    But they did know Trump was involved from the start of the year.This entire thing was organized by his planning committee.

    So props on leaving over a confederate flag, but shame on them for participating in glazing a dementia-addled Nazis.

    Edit: as a side note, I’ve never known sponsors to not look at media and stuff they were sponsoring before it goes live. Precisely to avoid being unknowingly associated with confederate flag waiving rednecks and other socially divisive things. (Guess they learned that lesson, huh?)
