Red Bull Purges Wokesters from U.S. Division
by John Nolte
Red Bull’s Austrian parent company fired a bunch of “woke” executives and managers from its U.S. division, including the CEO.
This is how it’s done. Cut out the cancer before it metastasizes.
The firings were not without cause. According to two reports, this was not Red Bull doing what the left is doing – firing people over the ideas they hold or what they do in their own private lives. This was not the left’s neo-McCarthyism.
No, the Red Bull firings were over damaging leaks, pressure to embrace Black Lives Matter, and an obvious lack of focus on the things that should matter to a sane corporation.
In other words, these freaks deserved to be fired, and other corporations might want to stand up and take notice before they become the New York Times, before concession after concession is made to the Woke Taliban — and before you know it, you’ve sold your soul.

The maker of Red Bull energy drinks has replaced its top U.S. executives amid internal tensions over the closely held company’s response to the Black Lives Matter movement.
Red Bull GmbH, the Austrian company that makes the drink, said Stefan Kozak, its North America chief executive, and Amy Taylor, its North America president and chief marketing officer, have left the company. It named other executives to temporarily fill the roles.

Ms. Taylor had been working on diversity and inclusion efforts within the company with Mr. Kozak’s support for several years but was met with opposition when she began advocating for Red Bull to be more overt in its support of racial justice in the last month, according to people familiar with the matter.
Some U.S. employees had recently raised concerns about what they considered the company’s inaction on the Black Lives Matter movement and about a racist slide that was in a presentation given at a company event in February.
