He's backpedaling now and claiming his comments were not directed to one side (Trump), but earlier in the interview he said, "Now I of course, along with the other CEOS, are horrified by what we're hearing and seeing from this administration". So how is that not an attack on Trump?

We need to do this CEO and the CEO of Gander Mountain a favor and help them spread their message to every hunter/outdoorsman we know. I'd be willing to bet Johnny Morris won't have such a message to send out but is pleased that these other idiots do.

Eta: just realized these "two" idiots are actually one and the same.

I agree. The left thinks it's OK for them to make comments like that then try to take it back. They see the take back as their own self forgiveness and act like they never said it.

Of course he's backpedaling -- stupid liberal democratic snowflake that sponsors NASCAR just went where he shouldn't have. Hope to see his stock prices drop.

the liberals spent the last 8 years screeching at everyone that they're racist

they lost 930 elected seats over that time

the remedy they have chosen is to double down

now they're having the police stand down while antifa riot and tear down statues

this is not a game anymore

I'll give this posturing liberal fuckstain my money when hell freezes over in sheet of ice 10 feet thick

People who run a business should keep their mouth shut. You are in business to make money, not preach morals or your social opinion.

yes, and they are the title sponsor for NASCAR truck series

Ray Charles can see what that will do for their business

I went to Camping World's "Contact Us Online" http://www.campingworld.com/contact/# and left my comment.
Did the same on Facebook, where they are getting hammered.

Overton's, too. It's a subsidiary or related corporation. I bought water skiing equipment from them, but no more.

Yep - That is a monumentally stupid thing for a CEO to do.

If nothing else, he should be fired for gross incompetence.

Hopefully, the board of directors will have him submit his resignation. Forthwith.

Glad it made it onto Rush's show for National Attention. If we had to rely exclusively on this page of ARFCOM, the story would last about 30 minutes until it disappears. Was reading about Marcus Lemonis on Wiki. It made sense and is the typical stereotype of who the man would or would not vote for.

Sigh, tents are among the items sold by Gander Mountain the sale of which will be continued under the new ownership.

Overton's is Gander Mountains marine supply catalog subsidiary.

Before going tits up, Gander Mountain unsuccessfully tried to sell Overton's off.
