Foreign companies who stand to lose if Trump wins are participating in an election interference boycott.
Should foreign companies be allowed to intervene in an American election? Especially when that election has a potential impact on their bottom line?
Some of the foreign companies that joined the #StopHateForProfit election interference campaign have direct or indirect financial interests that have been affected by Trump's pro-American trade policies.
Lululemon, a Canadian company which got its name because its founder thought it would be funny to have Japanese people try to say it, and who endorsed child labor, claimed that it was, "Actively engaging with Facebook to seek meaningful change." Perhaps it should start engaging with itself instead. The Facebook ad boycott is election interference and while it's bad enough that major American companies like Verizon, Best Buy, Target, and Starbucks are participating in this effort to silence their political opponents, foreign companies joining the election interference boycott is unacceptable.
While Democrats have been clamoring about foreign election interference, the participation of foreign companies in a boycott meant to silence Republicans, has their universal approval and support.
The security of our political system must be protected by taking on this foreign election interference by foreign companies, some of whom may hope to profit from President Trump's defeat, by sanctioning them for their attack on our system.
Any Democrats, who have demanded action against foreign election interference, but block sanctions on those companies should be held accountable for their complicity in foreign election interference.
