//The CEO of
Penzeys Spices renamed the extended
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day weekend to be "Republicans are racist weekend" in a recent newsletter to customers, wherein he said his aim was to anger Republicans in honor of the late civil rights icon.
Penzey spent much of his letter praising Black Lives Matter and the movement's actions following the death of George Floyd in 2020 before suggesting that
Republicans fantasize about killing Black people.
"Remember how Republicans, going against a mountain of evidence to the contrary, once again lied and said BLM wasn't a peaceful movement but instead terrorists inciting violence throughout the country and then raced out to buy a crapload of guns because maybe they were finally going to get their chance to shoot a Black person?" Penzey wrote. "What a bunch of racists."
n addressing Republican voters at the end of his message, Penzey told them, "The racist label is one you will deservingly wear every day you stand with [the Republican Party]. Get used to it, or maybe instead, become a better person. The choice is yours. We will be here rooting for you to Choose Love."
Penzey's latest email to customers follows another from earlier this month that made headlines, wherein he called Republican voters the "#1 threat to this country." \\
