The CEO of an Albuquerque-based internet marketing firm has issued a letter telling clients who support President-elect Donald Trump to take their business elsewhere.Mathew Blanchfield, who runs 1st in SEO, posted the letter describing Mr. Trump as "a racist, sexist, fascist" earlier this month on his company's website.
I wonder if he has links to support using those adjectives. Oh, it seems he forgot homophobic and anti-Semitic, I believe.
He said that while he remains committed to his liberal clients, he "will no longer do business with any person that is a registered Republican or supports Donald Trump."
Seems to me there are many more conservative business owners than liberal. Except for maybe those insanely rich dictators in Silicon Valley.
"If you are a Republican, voted for Donald Trump or support Donald Trump, in any manner, you are not welcome at 1st In SEO and we ask you to leave our firm," Mr. Blanchfield wrote in the letter, which he shared Wednesday with his 35,000 Twitter followers.
Trump is a populist. You're about to find out what that means, and half of you isn't going to like it.
"We ask you, our current clients, to please respond to this letter and confirm where you stand politically. If you are a Republican or support Trump, we will no longer serve you," he wrote. "To our Democrat and Progressive clients, we want to recommit to you that we will continue to work diligently to improve your internet marketing results in this quickly changing world."
"I hope this doesn't hurt too much."
In an interview this week with KOB, a local NBC News affiliate, Mr. Blanchfield said he had a "moral obligation" to stand up for what he believes is right.
. . . and get your butt shot off.
