[K9Buck]

It's about time the spotlight is shown on CNN'S evil, anti-American masters.

While I don't disagree with the sentiment, I don't think it's appropriate for the President to be calling for a boycott of an American company.

Any more than I would think it appropriate for a President Biden or Harris to call for a boycott of Chick Fila

[K9Buck]

AT&T has been engaging in politics for YEARS and have been going after poor and working-class Americans with their support of open borders and unlimited immigration.  The money that Americans spend with AT&T help to fuel their anti-American ambitions.  

How about Planned Parenthood?  Should they be boycotted?

[Alabuckeye]

The office of the President should not be calling for boycotting any American company. IMO that's mixing business and politics and it's a bad trend and direction.

Yes, PP should be boycotted. By citizens and by any citizen that values human life.

[K9Buck]

Business and politics has been mixed forever. CNN spews its lies and rhetoric at the behest of AT&T. Boycott them.

[Erhino]

I am continuing my life long boycott of PP.

Trump has set the bar high on saying inappropriate things as President.

This.

Double This.  That said, no one (in the msm) bats an eye when Obama essentially declared that he was going to destroy the coal industry, or when he attacked cops, etc...    The media acts as if Trump is unprecedented when he's not even declaring that he's gonna wipe out AT&T

I assume you realize the entire existence of lobbying is based on mixing business and politics, and has been going on for as long as there have been politicians.

American states and cities ran by Democrats have been boycotting other American states and cities for years.

[lrrps21]

If Governments - San Antonio, Chicago, etc. - can target Chick-Fil-A, President Trump can target AT&T.

This.  Time and again, we see libtard local & state governments banning travel to other states who dare to pass non-libtard legislation.  So political economic boycotting has been a proactively-used weapon of the Dems for quite some time.

The boycott tactic is used by all sides, usually ineffectively, but there are enough examples where it changed behaviors to cause it to be sustained as a general tactic.

My take on large companies is that they have a large PR department and will spend money to shape opinion about them. I saw some commercial by Exxon yesterday about carbon capture. What a silly idea. Just plants trees and then bury them deep. That's more effective than any synthetic process.
