"Skittles Are Candy. Refugees Are People" - Skittles Fire Back After Trump Jr. Tweets White Nationalist Meme


Of course lost on Trump's accident of a son is that White Supremacists are a bigger threat to US safety than crazed Muslim Terrorists. 

If you're keeping score, it's not by much, but just the fact that Trump has unleashed an entity that outdoes Jihadists has made the landscape of America resemble Europe more than any place else these days.

Candy maker Skittles was left sour Monday after being pulled into the mire of the 2016 presidential race by Donald Trump Jr.

The Republican presidential nominee's son tweeted an image Monday that used the popular rainbow-colored candy to make a policy argument against admitting refugees into the United States.

"If I had a bowl of skittles and I told you just three would kill you. Would you take a handful," the image read. Trump added his own commentary on the message, tweeting, "This image says it all. Let's end the politically correct agenda that doesn't put America first. #trump2016."

Skittles parent company Wrigley Americas distanced itself from the tweet with a terse response opposing Trump Jr.'s premise.

"Skittles are candy. Refugees are people. We don't feel it's an appropriate analogy," Vice President of Corporate Affairs Denise Young said in the statement. "We will respectfully refrain from further commentary as anything we say could be misinterpreted as marketing." Cont. (Video)
