The Vice President of the United States sent a very clear political message during a recent stop at a spice store.

The store in question, Penzeys Spices has a rich history of hating Republicans. They are quite explicitly anti-GOP and anti-Trump and aren’t afraid of parading it in public. (This doesn’t stop them from taking money from Republicans, per their “About Republicans” section on their site.)
The hosts of “Outnumbered” discussed the optics of someone running to be a president of all Americans choosing to spend her time in a store that proudly announces its hatred for half the country.
“That spice shop is known for slamming Republicans,” Emily Compagno points out. “Their website has an entire “About Republicans” page, with a staggering 842-word essay bashing the party. Part of it, written by the CEO, reads. ‘Going forward, we would still be glad to have you as customers, but we’re done pretending the Republican Party’s embrace of cruelty, racism, Covid lies, climate change denial, and threats to democracy are anything other than the risks they legitimately are.'”
“Harris, is this — side note — is this the president that would be president for every American? Because it seems like by shopping there you’re only sending a message you want to be the president for half the country,” she said, throwing it to Harris Faulkner.
“So did you Google that to find that that shop, like Google spice and politics and hate Republicans, all in one thing — and it’s got an address, let’s go there to shoot our promo,” Faulkner joked. “Because that’s what that was. That was promotional value for her. That wasn’t like a real press opportunity or interview. I’m really, really lost on why she can’t just hold a news conference.”
“And the irony, Mollie, that she’s preaching about divisiveness, the spice shop that specifically puts that on,” Compagno said.
“Not like this is a new thing. Penzeys has been bigoted against Republicans and really hateful and intolerant for so long for many, many years,” Mollie Hemmingway explained. “So this was an intentional thing going to for her, a safe space to speak against divisiveness while being at one of the most notoriously hateful companies in America!”
“OOF!” Faulkner responded.
