Tech CEO calls out Donald Trump in full-page New York Times ad
Josh Tetrick, CEO of plant-based food technology company Hampton Creek, bought a full-page ad in yesterday’s New York Times Sunday newspaper to criticize Donald Trump ahead of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
Dear Donald
According to the Washington Post, the ad appeared on page A5 of the Sunday New York Times as well as Cleveland newspaper the Plain Dealer.
The ad, which begins with the words “Dear Donald” and can also be found at dear-donald.org, addresses the Republican candidate by stating that “Americans are frustrated and angry and scared. You’ve channeled this into your nomination.”
Tetrick concludes his letter by telling Trump that his campaign “feels un-American.”
This isn’t the first time Tetrick has bought an ad in the New York Times. He has purchased similar letter-style ads in the past on behalf of his company, most of which relate to the food industry.
