Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski Call Out FedEx for ‘Propping Up the NRA’ Amid Boycott Efforts

A #BoycottNRA campaign has already gotten several companies to distance themselves from the NRA, and now the hosts of Morning Joe are publicly calling out another such company.

There has been a lot of Twitter pressure being directed at FedEx for their relationship with the NRA Business Alliance:

Hey @FedEx why do you support the NRA?

.@FedEx!

We’re asking you to please sever your ties to the #NRA. Their stronghold on our political system is a threat to our democracy and the safety of the American people.

Warmly,
Alyssa Milano, CA

Hi @FedEx…this young man asked you a question. https://t.co/zQUB7vIHON

And MSNBC hosts Scarborough and Brzezinski tweeted their support for this tonight:

Hey @FedEx, I’ve been a fan of your company from the start. Please do the right thing and stop supporting an organization that attacks America’s heroes who protect us from terror attacks. Please support our law enforcement officers so we can keep supporting you. ??????

I hope @FedEx does the right thing and stops propping up the NRA. They incite violence with their ads and attack America’s law enforcement officers. I support businesses that support our American heroes and will not support businesses who make their jobs harder. #USA

Scarborough applauded Hertz earlier for ending their partnership:

Thank you for supporting America’s law enforcement officers. The NRA’s continued attacks on those brave citizens who protect us every day from terror attacks is shameful.
Our heroes deserve more! ?????? https://t.co/zvqPLqPyzZ
