Ted Cruz reveals Coca-Cola’s silent removal of BLM support after pro-Hamas post.
Ted Cruz Exposes Woke Coca-Cola’s Quiet Deletion of BLM Support from Website Over Pro-Hamas Post
Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas is demanding an apology from Coca-Cola for its prior support of the Black Lives Matter movement after the group supported Hamas’ terror attacks against Israeli civilians earlier this month.
Coca-Cola’s support page for the group has been altered in recent days and no longer mentions Black Lives Matter by name.
The company joined in on supporting the neo-Marxist group in the spring and summer of 2020 along with much of corporate America.
Numerous Black Lives Matter pages put their full support behind Hamas following the murders, rapes and kidnappings of Israelis on Oct. 7.
In a since-deleted post on X, BLM Chicago shared a graphic of a Hamas militant presumably parachuting to butcher Jewish civilians. The image was captioned “I STAND WITH PALESTINE” and the group wrote, “That is all that it is!”
CAUGHT RED-HANDED. @CocaCola deletes its support for BLM.

The other is from this morning.

On Monday, Cruz called out Coca-Cola not only for stealth editing its social justice page but also demanded an apology from the company.
“CAUGHT RED-HANDED. @CocaCola deletes its support for BLM,” the Texas Republican posted.
“One screenshot is of @CocaCola’s website before BLM supported Hamas parachuting into a concert to kill Israeli civilians. The other is from this morning,” he continued.
Cruz concluded, “Editing your website is not enough. Americans DEMAND an apology.”
Prior to the attacks against Israel and to Black Lives Matter’s support online of them, Coca-Cola explicitly mentioned the group on its website.
An excerpt on one page for its charitable contributions read:
“In the summer of 2020, Sprite launched ‘The Give Back’ program to support the Black community in the fight against racial injustice and the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The brand also donated $500,000 to the Black Lives Matter Global Network to support the group’s voting education efforts and their February 2021 Black Future Month.”
That excerpt now simply reads:
“In the summer of 2020, Sprite launched ‘The Give Back’ program to support the Black community in the fight against racial injustice and the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Coca-Cola has not publicly commented on the deletion of the line nor its prior donation to Black Lives Matter.

How does the support of Hamas by Black Lives Matter raise questions about the values and principles of the movement?
Es Matter. However, it is clear that the company has quietly removed any direct mention of the group from its website in light of their support for Hamas.
The support of Hamas by Black Lives Matter is deeply troubling and raises serious questions about the values and principles of the movement. Hamas is recognized as a terrorist organization by the United States and many other countries around the world. They have a long history of violence, including suicide bombings, rocket attacks, and kidnapping of Israeli civilians.
For Black Lives Matter to align themselves with such a group is not only morally reprehensible but also undermines their credibility and legitimacy as a social justice movement. It is important to remember that the Black Lives Matter movement started with noble intentions – to fight against systemic racism and police brutality. However, their support for Hamas tarnishes those intentions and raises doubts about their true agenda.
Ted Cruz, in calling out Coca-Cola and demanding an apology, is standing up for the values of justice and accountability. By deleting their support for Black Lives Matter from their website, Coca-Cola is attempting to erase their previous endorsement of a group that supports terrorism. However, as Cruz rightly points out, editing a website is not enough. An apology is necessary to acknowledge the mistake and the harm it has caused.
It is important for companies like Coca-Cola to be held accountable for their actions and the values they promote. Supporting a group that endorses violence against innocent civilians is not acceptable and goes against the principles of justice and equality. If Coca-Cola wants to maintain the trust and support of its customers, it must address this issue and take responsibility for its association with Black Lives Matter.
In conclusion, Ted Cruz’s call for an apology from Coca-Cola is justified and necessary. The deletion of their support for Black Lives Matter from their website is a clear acknowledgment that the group’s support for Hamas is indefensible. Companies must be held accountable for the values they promote and the associations they make. It is important for the public to demand transparency and integrity from corporations like Coca-Cola.
