6:46Now PlayingConservatives are outraged by the statement Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz made on refugees. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you why they’re boycotting. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Starbucks has found itself in the middle of another turbulent tweetstorm.
The coffee giant on Sunday made major news when outgoing CEO Howard Schultz pledged that the company would look to hire 10,000 refugees in its stores worldwide, including some who have helped the U.S. military, in response to President Donald Trump's executive order to bar entry of refugees from several predominantly Muslim countries. The statement from Schultz—who also sought to reassure his employees after Trump's immigration ban—was one of many public statements made by high-profile CEOs.
