My "unsubscribe" reason given to their persistent e-mails:

"Your CEO's comments about supporters of the U.S. President have made it simple. You'll never get another dime from me."

He is the guy who bought Gander Mountain too. I do not think he understands the customer base (.... and this is coming from a very much -not Trump guy).

When are CEOs going to learn to keep their nose out of politics?

When are CEOs going to learn to keep their nose out of politics?

Half past never.

When governments have as much control over markets as they do now, playing politics is MANDATORY for a CEO.

They just seem to need more skill in understanding the different politics of different constituencies.

End of the linked article says Martin backed down.

UPDATE: Mark Martin regrets his statement

An hour after this post was published, Mark Martin has updated his statement on Camping World.

Mark Martin has spoken with the Camping World CEO. Since the call, his original tweet has been deleted and he’s updated his stance.

Mark Martin via twitter, “After a call from Marcus Lemonis today regret my tweet yesterday. I believe many articles about his statement were misrepresented.”

During the call the two of them found a common ground. The division isn’t needed.

Martin stated, “Marcus Lemonis and I agree we are both sick of the fighting in our country.”

It doesn't say whether he reinstated the order or not.

I won't "reinstate" my former customer status with them. There are a lot of other suppliers. And I'm really pissed that I didn't hear about Lemonis' posturing on Trump earlier; I would not have made some previous purchases. Eff. Mr. Lemonis.
