Amazon Staff: Government Ordered Us Not to Sell Confederate Flag Company sales reps say they were "instructed" by feds to ban rebel flag by Paul Joseph Watson |
June 25, 2015
Amazon.com staff are telling irate customers that the company was
ordered by the federal government not to sell items featuring the
Confederate flag in the aftermath of the Charleston shooting.
Amazon made the announcement this
week, along with eBay, Sears and Walmart, that it would no longer sell
products bearing the rebel flag, but according to a conversation posted
on YouTube between a customer and an Amazon sales rep, the decision
could have been made as a result of pressure from the government.
At first the Amazon staffer claims
that the items were banned because they were deemed to be offensive, but
when pressed by the customer, the sales rep tells a different story.
“Is this a political statement by
Amazon.com or is this a directive that you’re following, that the
government said you know we want you guys not to sell these anymore?”
asks the caller.
“The government is not allowing us to sell this Confederate flag,” responds the staffer.
“So the government is not allowing you….to sell it?” asks the caller, to which the sales rep responds, “yes.”
