Sticker Mule, a printing service company, has gotten blowback from the head of Nightdive Studios supporting former US President Donald Trump after he survived an assassination attempt.
“Donald Trump was shot. I don’t care what your political views are but the hate for Trump and his supporters has gone too far,” Sticker Mule cofounder Anthony Constantino said in a statement sent out to their customers and on social media.
He added, “People are terrified to admit they support Trump. I’ve been scared myself. Americans shouldn’t live in fear. I support Trump. Many at Sticker Mule do. Many at Sticker Mule also support Biden. The political hate needs to stop.”
The head of Nightdive Studios, Stephen Kick, promptly voiced his rejection of their message by announcing he is boycotting the company and likely not using them for their products anymore:
“You’ve lost my business,” Nightdive Studios head Stephen Kick said. “Anyone who supports this monster deserves to go down with him.”
Soon after Sticker Mule sent out that message to their customers and followers the expected wave of death threats came from presumptive Joe Biden supporters, the sole opponent to Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
To combat the onslaught of death threats Sticker Mule announced a $2500 bonus to all 70+ of their support staff, who are currently holding the front line against endless death threats to the company and its staff.
Numerous other notable public figures have unfortunately committed a federal crime by wishing death upon the former US President, like Tenacious D’s co-founder Kyle Gass.
Here’s the full message from Constantino:
Donald Trump was shot. I don’t care what your political views are but the hate for Trump and his supporters has gone too far.
People are terrified to admit they support Trump. I’ve been scared myself. Americans shouldn’t live in fear. I support Trump. Many at Sticker Mule do. Many at Sticker Mule also support Biden. The political hate needs to stop.
Today a bullet almost killed Donald Trump. He’s got 5 kids. One’s still a teenager. No one should have to die and sacrifice the happiness of their family to run for office.
If Donald Trump can risk that, the least the rest of us can do is vocalize our support and help end the hate. The more people realize that kind-hearted, compassionate people support Trump, the sooner the hate will end.
I’m speaking up today and will do more in the future to stop this insane political hate. Awesome people, all over the world, love Trump. Don’t limit your friendships, and diminish your happiness by indulging in political hate. Vocalize your support. Stop the hate.
