These people who are saying #BoycottHomeDepot should do some research.
1. The co-founders (Bernie, Arthur, & Ken) have generally split between political parties. Arthur gives more to Dems.
2. Bernie Marcus is retired and no longer the CEO.
(See thread below.)

3. Both Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank have been amazing to the city of Atlanta.
4. They created hundreds of thousands of jobs for people around the entire country....

5. Hundreds, if not thousands, of employees & stockholders became millionaires. 3,000 became MULTImillionaires. Those people were able to pursue the American Dream...

6. Working for The Home Depot under Bernie Marcus as CEO & later w/ Arthur Blank as CEO was highlight of my pre-political professional career. It was diverse environment w/ employees who cared about everyone on their team. Isn’t that what liberals want?

7. Atlanta would not have a world class aquarium without Bernie & Billi Marcus’ $250M donation.
8. They donated $50M to Grady Hospital.
9. The list of their philanthropy is very long.

10. And these #BoycottHomeDepot people are angry about $7M to help President Trump’s re-election?! Why aren’t they celebrating that he’s donating 90% of his wealth?!
News flash: you are not hurting a retired co-founder, you are hurting those currently employed there.
