    After Charlottesville, Trump's business buddies have no excuse to stick around

    In the wake of the Charlottesville attacks, Donald Trump failed to condemn the neo-Nazis and white supremacists responsible for three deaths and dozens of injuries--blaming "both sides" for days. But now, three high-profile CEOs say they aren't having it--and have cut ties with the President's Manufacturing Jobs Council in protest.

    In under 24 hours, the CEO of pharmaceutical giant Merck & Co, Under Armour, and Intel, have resigned from Trump's council, denouncing "intolerance and extremism" and "hate-spawned violence."

    Now, their resignation is putting renewed pressure on the rest of Trump's council members, like the CEOs of Campbell Soup Company, PepsiCo, and Johnson & Johnson. This is exactly the momentum we need to force these big names to cut ties with Trump--putting us closer to stopping Trump and his neo-Nazi-approved agenda.
