Coca-Cola Blasted By Billboards Over Support of 'Genocide' Olympics
In just a few weeks’ time, much of the world will have their eyes on Beijing. No, not on account of the misinformation that they spread about the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, nor their forceful takeover of Tibet. We won’t be keeping a keen eye on the CCP over the Hong Kong hostage situation, or their repeated advances on the sovereign nation of Taiwan.
Nope. We’ll all be watching young men and women cruising around on ice skates and skis, as opposed to having a serious conversation about the literal genocide that China has been involved in over the course of the last several years.
Now, international mega-corporation Coca-Cola is taking some serious heat over their continued support of what’s become known as “The Genocide Olympics”.
A conservative media watchdog group launched a billboard campaign Thursday outside Coca-Cola’s Atlanta headquarters, calling on the soft drink giant to explain its sponsorship of the upcoming Beijing Olympics in light of China‘s human rights abuses.
Accuracy in Media accused the company of hypocrisy with a billboard displaying the phrase: “Why does Coke support genocide?”
And it’s not as though Coke remains apolitical…not in the least.
The group notes that Coke condemned its home state of Georgia for implementing a new Republican-authored voting law and supported Major League Baseball’s decision to strip Atlanta of the All-Star Game because of the law — yet the multinational remains a major sponsor of the Beijing Games, “despite the fact that China is the greatest source of evil in our world.”
The billboards were soon making the rounds on social media.
When @CocaCola supports the #Beijing2022 Olympics, they support genocide. @AccuracyInMedia took a trip to Coke headquarters to call out their blatant hypocrisy. pic.twitter.com/Q2IZL5Po07
