Campbell Soup executive steps down after false tweet stating George Soros planned migrant caravans
Campbell Soup Co. said the companyâs former vice president of government affairs has left his role ahead of his planned early-November departure after he tweeted falsely that George Sorosâs Open Society Foundations was behind the migrant caravan heading north through Central America.
â@OpenSociety planned and is executing this, including where they defecate,â Kelly Johnston tweeted last Monday, in response to a tweet that includes a photo of the caravan.
A check on Johnstonâs Twitter handle on Monday morning shows the account has been taken down.
In response to the tweet, Open Society Foundations President Patrick Gaspard sent a letter to Campbell Soupâs CPB, +2.78% Chair Les Vinney and Interim Chief Executive Keith McLaughlin saying he was âappalledâ that Johnston was âout on social media promoting lies about the organization.â
Gaspard wrote that the âOpen Society Foundations support the historic U.S. commitment to welcoming people fleeing oppression and violence in their home countries,â however, neither the Foundations or Soros are funding the migrant caravans. Moreover, he adds, the group does not support âopen borders.â
âItâs not enough to say, as your spokesperson has, that the âopinions Mr. Johnston expresses on Twitter are his individual viewsâ when those âviewsâ add to a toxicity in our communities and contribute to inciting hate and quite possibly violence,â Gaspard wrote.

Interesting to note that some jackass soup boi makes a TWEET that is a lie, and that in turn allows those on the right aka Trumpians to get their panties all up in a crack, maybe even go out bombing folks & killing Jews.
Who would have thought lying is so difficult?
