Some conservatives say they'll boycott Carhartt after it doubled down on its vaccine mandate.
The company is requiring workers get the jab even though the Supreme Court blocked Biden's mandate.
"Went from 'Buy Carhartt' to 'Bye Carhartt' real quick!" Ashley St. Clair tweeted.
The spokesperson told the Post that the company was aware that not all staff supported the vaccine mandate. "However, we stand behind our decision because we believe vaccines are necessary to protect our workforce," they said.
After copies of Valade's email were shared on social media, the news quickly went viral, and some opponents of vaccine mandates have threatened to boycott the company.
"Went from 'Buy Carhartt' to 'Bye Carhartt' real quick!" Ashley St. Clair, a right-wing author and former Turning Point brand ambassador, tweeted. She also tweeted "#cancelcarhartt" and said the company's vaccine mandate amounted to "medical tyranny."
Dana Loesch, a right-wing radio and TV host, former National Rifle Association spokesperson, and former Breitbart News writer, questioned Carhartt's mandate and said in a tweet that the vaccine "doesn't prevent transmissions."

(70,483 posts)How quickly do you think Carhartt will fill those jobs? Good pay, benefits, health care, 401 K,
and no dying from C-19.

Read 'em and weep Dana. You will have a difficult time keeping up with the companies you are trying to boycott, and this list has certainly grown in the last several months since this story hit cyberspace.

My company is still not mandating vaccines BUT the bi-weekly health insurance that comes out of your check for the anti-vaxxer increases a bunch.
