Sen Ted Cruz is All Over Coke for bankrolling BLM which supports Hamas. But, why wouldn’t they support them after all both are terrorist organizations?
Cruz wants Coke to issue an apology for giving money to a group that looks at Hamas terrorists and sees heroes. BLM praised the hand gliders who killed many people.
On his podcast this week, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) called out Coca-Cola for supporting Black Lives Matter after the outrageous post.
Fortune 500 companies like @amazon, @CocaCola, @Sprite, @DoorDash, @Dropbox, @wbpictures, & @Microsoft, donated to BLM.
On Verdict, we name names and blast corporate America for standing with Marxists who celebrated Hamas's mass murder of Israelis.https://t.co/6w2OIRPJlB pic.twitter.com/URpbhqNUUC

Fox News reports that the company deleted language on its website the following morning after backlash.
“Earlier this month, Sprite announced a $500,000 contribution to the Black Lives Matter Global Network in a social post committing action in the fight for racial justice. On June 28, the brand debuted a new TV commercial during the 2020 BET Awards telecast showcasing Black America’s resilience, excellence and optimism. The 60-second spot titled ‘Dreams Realized’ emphasizes Sprite’s commitment to making young Black creators’ dreams a reality and to inspire the next generation to do more and dream bigger,” a web archive version of the website reads.
The current version omits that paragraph.
My question to @CocaCola is, why did you remove @Blklivesmatter from your website? And when you deleted giving the $500,000 to “Black Lives Matter” and substituted it with “Black Community,” who in the Black Community did you give it to? @morsea @MurphyAJC @AJCLeroyChapman… https://t.co/n5oadO8iSc

Black Lives Matter Grassroots also recently released a statement expressing solidarity with “our Palestinian family,” drawing parallels between the struggles faced by Black Americans and those faced by Palestinians and calling for a decolonization of America.
The statement, which was shared on social media, reads as follows:
Black Lives Matter Grassroots stands in solidarity with our Palestinian family who are currently resisting 57 years of settler colonialism and apartheid. As Black people continue the fight to end militarism and mass incarceration in our own communities, let us understand the resistance in Palestine as an attempt to tear down the gates of the world’s largest open-air prison. As a radical Black organization grounded in abolitionist ideals, we see clear parallels between Black and Palestinian people.
We, too, understand what it means to be surveilled, dehumanized, property seized, families separated, our people criminalized and slaughtered with impunity, locked up in droves, and when we resist they call us terrorists. We, too, dream of a world where our people may live freely on decolonized land. May the borders, checkpoints, prisons, police, and watchlists that terrorize our communities crumble and may the world we build from their ashes honor those who have fallen in struggle.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, called out Coca-Cola on his podcast this week for supporting Black Lives Matter after the organization’s Chicago chapter posted in a now-deleted X post a picture of a paraglider with the text “I stand with Palestine” — a reference to Hamas terrorists who paraglided into an Israeli music festival and slaughtered hundreds of attendees.
After the October 18 episode of The Verdict with Ted Cruz, Coca-Cola — which owns Sprite — deleted its language on its website the following morning.
“Earlier this month, Sprite announced a $500,000 contribution to the Black Lives Matter Global Network in a social post committing action in the fight for racial justice.
On June 28, the brand debuted a new TV commercial during the 2020 BET Awards telecast showcasing Black America’s resilience, excellence and optimism.

I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was great. I do not know who you are but definitely you’re going to a famous blogger if you aren’t already 😉 Cheers!
