At the end of last week, as many were readying for a long Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend, Penzey's Spices CEO Bill Penzey Jr. sent a spicy promotional email to customers. Although the email sent waves of outrage through the Fox News ecosystem, this is not the first time the CEO has used the company's platform to make social and political statements. For decades since their inception in the 80s, Penzey's has made products and flyers that comment on the American political landscape. The aforementioned email sent by Penzey Jr. also encourages customers to partake in the special, with the intent to "cheese off racists for free". Penzey Jr. is undoubtedly adamant about his view that Republicans are racists; the company sent a follow-up promotional email on Jan. 20 with the subject line "Republicans' Racism Isn't a Victimless Crime."
