MS-SEN: San Francisco Giants Owner Donated To Cindy Hyde-Smith

SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) — A Bay Area civil rights attorney is calling for a boycott of the San Francisco Giants after their principal owner Charles Johnson made donations to the campaign of a controversial U.S. Senate candidate in Mississippi.

President Trump announced that he will be traveling to Mississippi on Monday to endorse Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith. In a tweet, Trump called her “an outstanding person.”

Hyde-Smith has been at the center of controversy for making a recent joke about public hanging.

It was reported that she also wore a Confederate hat while visiting a museum for Confederate president Jefferson Davis.

Johnson, who lives in Florida, had previously apologized a few months ago after supporting a Republican Super PAC which was proven to be making racist radio ads. At the time, Johnson said he didn’t realize that’s what the group was doing.

John Burris, a civil rights attorney, says he is a huge fan, but that it’s time for Giants fans to withdraw their support for the Johnson and team amid the controversy.

1. Looks like Charles Johnson(San Francisco Giants owner)

just can't help himself from veering towards supporting Racism.

How fucking ironic.

2. Agreed.

Charles Johnson is a racist redumbliCON bastard that should not be allowed to own a professional baseball team. Perhaps the San Francisco Giants players should take a knee to protest their racist boss's behavior!

3. I'm a fan

This bothers me. Why do business owners do this shit? Once you pick a side in politics, you can lose half of your support. Here in SF you can lose big time if you go right.

4. I was born in SF and have been a fan since the team arrived.

This BS won't go over well in the bay area.
Anyone have a link to write to Johnson?
