The L Brands CEO had previously condemned Donald Trump’s response to Charlottesville in a speech to employees.

Ohio billionaire and longtime Republican donor Les Wexner says he is officially done with the party, and was prompted to leave after former President Barack Obama visited the state.

Wexner, the CEO of retail conglomerate L Brands, which owns Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works, announced at a leadership summit in Columbus on Thursday that he “won’t support this nonsense in the Republican Party” anymore.
===============================================
Wexner was seriously bothered by Trump's luke-warm response to Charlottesville. As a result he has left the Republican party.

“How hard is it to say Nazis are bad?” Obama said.

Much to difficult for far to many.
US Politics has sunk below the level of the gutter.
Look at this POS

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/9/21/17886430/brett-kavanaugh-news-ed-whelan-trump
On Thursday night, conservative legal operative Ed Whelan sent a series of tweets suggesting that the sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh were likely a case of mistaken identity. His evidence was that a high school classmate of Kavanaugh’s kind of looked like him, and lived in a childhood home that sounded similar to the home where Kavanaugh’s accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, described the assault taking place.

This thin evidence was quickly torn apart. Political observers from across the aisle blasted Whelan for posting the classmate’s name and photograph and strongly implying, without evidence, that he committed sexual assault. It turns out the classmate, a middle school teacher whose name I don’t want to disseminate, was someone Ford knew; she told the Washington Post that “there is zero chance that I would confuse them.”

Not a word from Kavanaugh condemning this naming another as having perpetrated the assault. NOT A WORD
 
American politics has finally found the lowest common denominator & his name is Trump. I'm afraid we will all come to regret his coming but hope to rejoice at his going.

Cool.

Another Globalist leaves the Republican Party. Now...if we could just be sure he'll stop giving money to Republicans things will be good.
