Dear @Groupon — Donald Trump’s recent racist attacks against our president are blatant and grotesque. We ask you to pull your advertising support from @ApprenticeNBC in protest and ask NBC to fire Donald Trump now. Given the recent blowup over your Super Bowl commercials, you are a company that understands better than most how the perception of disrespect and insensitivity can impact your brand. If you do not show yourself to be a company that stands for basic civility and stands against hateful and hurtful rhetoric, I will no longer use your daily deal service.

[note from admin: @groupon spokesperson @julie_mo tweeted a series of tweets starting around 5:30pm ET on Thursday April 28th. I’ve included them below, in chronological order] @DumpDTrump Julie at Groupon here – we are not sponsors of Trump or Apprentice. We place ads on major ad networks that include NBC.com.
@TruthTeller10 You’re right and they haven’t run in weeks. But we’re blocking future ones from running there, just in case. @DCdebbie The ads haven’t run there in weeks. We just confirmed that they’re not running there in the future. @thinkprogress Make it clear that we NEVER sponsored the Apprentice, not that we’re “stopping.” I demand accountability on your end, too. @thinkprogress Advertising on parent network is not the same as sponsoring the show and I’ll argue this indefinitely. It’s about intent. @thinkprogress You have a responsibility to inform people thoroughly on what they’re protesting, and you haven’t done that. Posted 2011-04-28 23:28:40 UTC
