Someone needs to punch this spokesperson in the face. It's one thing to lie, but lying in such a smug, smarmy way to paint critics as overreacting and ignorant makes it so much more infuriating.
You know spokespeople don't come up with what needs to be communicated? They just word the announcement. Someone tells them what to say and they just write it.
Yeah yeah. More outsourcing so nobody can be held responsible for anything. What do you think the purpose of a spokesperson is? They speak for the company.
You know what we used to call Nazi sympathizers, back in the day? Nazis.
I mean, everyone involved works or contacts for Amazon here. The spokesman is just paid to say the words they tell him to.
It was some other asshole in the company that said, "tell the spokesman to say we'll never use them for anything other than safety and get me America's Funniest Home Videos on the line. Are they still a thing? You know what, on second thought just call the internet, tell them I'm going to have some good clips for them soon."
