Liberals, who hate Donald Trump, have lost bigly this year, and are seeking vengeance by punishing his daughter, Ivanka.
In an attempt to ruin her brand, California businesswoman Shannon Coulter and other liberal activists have demanded department stores drop Ivanka’s line of clothing, calling it the #GrabYourWallet movement. Nordstrom announced on Tuesday that they are refusing to give into the boycott.
“We’ve heard from customers, including some who are long time loyal customers, threatening a boycott of Nordstrom if we continue to carry the line,” said the company co-President Pete Nordstrom in an e-mail to employees. “Similarly, we’ve heard from customers who say they will boycott Nordstrom if we stop carrying the brand. This is a sharply divisive subject. No matter what we do, we are going to end up disappointing some of our customers.”
“Every single brand we offer is evaluated on their results—if people don’t buy it, we won’t sell it,” he stated.
Ivanka’s brand, however, apparently sells.
Nordstrom said it plans on being agnostic about politics and treat everyone with respect, a foreign concept to many liberals.
The boycott movement has seen some success, though. Shoes.com and Bellacor announced just days before Nordstrom’s email went out that they would no longer sell any Ivanka Trump products.
#GrabYourWallet is targeting dozens of other businesses to follow in Bellacor’s footsteps including Bloomingdales, Amazon.com, Century 21, and TJ Maxx.
