The co-founder of Home Depot, Bernie Marcus, has dropped a serious truth bomb on liberal opponents of the GOP tax initiative. Nancy Pelosi said it just tossed “crumbs” to the working class, and other Dems have slammed the tax cut bill in their own ways, but Marcus went nuclear in his defense of the benefits of the bill:

He sure didn’t mince any words.
Marcus predicts Dems will lose next election b/c of complete disconnect w Middle Class as evidenced by clueless Pelosi comments. https://t.co/BcuAMdl0sz

Yea, I think these folks need to see this video too: @TheDemocrats @CNNnewsroom @MSNBC @NBCNews @CBSNews @abcnews @nytimes @WSJ @washingtonpost, maybe they'll "use their brains" like Bernie suggests (they probably won't though!) ? https://t.co/abfQm8FArm

There was, however, a massive triggering among opponents of the GOP tax cut bill:

And the co-founder of @HomeDepot believes it's a good idea to go public with such nonsense? As a building contractor, these fools get more than $200,000 worth of business from me annually. Not anymore, Mr. Bernie Marcus. https://t.co/hoWRE7YdRS

I will never shop at Home Depot again. Calling an entire group of people "stupid," whether politicians or civilians, is terrible.

The actual effect of #Resistance backlash to Marcus’ comments on Home Depot’s bottom line, if any, remains to be seen.
