On Saturday, Vice President Harris took a break from debate prep to pop into a spice store in Pittsburgh. Her reception was rapturous. (You can watch the viral video of her visit here.)
Trumpsters were so rattled by this event that they immediately started attacking Harris for an alleged inability to relate to people. And everyone in the world who had seen the video said, "Huh?" (Just remember, everything Benedict Donald and his minions say is always, always projection and a confession.)
Since those attacks didn't land, they also went after the spice company itself, Penzeys. (Yep, we checked: They don't use an apostrophe in their name.) Headquartered in Wisconsin, they have 30 stores across the country, and they ship nationwide. They also are not shy about their disdain for what the Republican Party has become. Check out this page on their website for details.
But Penzeys didn't stop there. Owner Bill Penzey sent out an email about Harris's visit and what's happened afterward. (He also promoted a limited-time-only offer on gift boxes.) Here's some of what he said:
"Because of all she is and just who our customers are, the video of [Harris's] visit has been continuously playing on TV news and has received millions and millions of online views ever since. There are good reasons views have spread like wildfire. She's a cook. She cares. And in our store built to celebrate the kindness at the heart of cooking, surrounded by kindred caring cooks, the goodness of the moment went off the charts. Whoosh!
"Never has the media of the right tried as hard to boycott us or 'Bud Light' us as they are trying right now. Lots of angry emails coming my way. Nothing new, just a little more intense than it's been in a while.
"I'm right there with Vice President Harris on it being time to bring America together. Oddly enough, this weekend has me right there with Vice President Dick Cheney as well. But getting the Cheneys on board started with them being honest about today's Republican Party having taken a wrong turn.
"The right wing has amped up their anger at us as a punishment for us welcoming Kamala into our store. They are also doing this in hopes of deterring any other store from doing the same. Not letting them win at this would be a good thing." We cats agree, and we PURR.
