White House former White House adviser Stephen Miller defends President Trump’s tweet calling for a boycott of Goodyear after an employee at a factory in Topeka, Kan., Said the company’s Make America Great Again company hats off as an “unacceptable” accessory for employees in the workplace.
“DO NOT BUY GOODYEAR TIRES – They Announced A BAN ON MAGA HATS. Get better tires for much less!” Trump tweeted Wednesday.

“To that tweet, I say amen,” Miller told FOX Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo in a Thursday interview. “It is time for traditional Americans to stand up for their values, stand up for their faith and not be bullied by the radical left.”
The controversy began this week after the Goodyear employee shared a slide he said came from the company’s corporate office in Akron, Ohio. The slide, reported by WIBW, showed two categories: “Acceptable” and “Acceptable.”
Under “Acceptable” were Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride (LGBT).

Under “Acceptable” were Blue Lives Matter, All Lives Matter, MAGA and politically affiliated slogans as material.
“This idea that you can go to a workplace in America and express support for radical Marxist movements, express support for anti-police movements, and you can not express support for Donald Trump or the police and legislation? The left is trying to make a two-tiered system of free speech in this country, “Miller said. “A system in which left-wing thinking is completely protected, sacrosanct, can not criticize it, but if you express traditional, mainstream American views like ‘I love cops’, that is somehow hate speech and you should be punished.”

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany urged Goodyear to “clarify its policies.”
The company said Wednesday in a statement that it “supports both equality and law enforcement” and that “the visuals in question were not made or disseminated by Goodyear corporate, nor were they part of a diversity training class.”
