Departing Starbucks CEO Schultz Refuses to Admit Support for Clinton Was a Mistake

SCHULTZ: "I don't think at any level that the brand or what we represent is at odds with the President-elect or his supporters. 90 million customers a week are going through Starbucks and I assume many of them voted for Donald Trump. We feel very strongly as a company that our role and responsibility, in addition to making money and building shareholder value, as you know, is to demonstrate a level of social impact in the communities that we serve. We as a company, the board, me personally, Kevin, have been deeply concerned about a number of issues, social issues, that for the most part have not been addressed by the Republican administrations in the past and hopefully will be addressed by the President-elect. I think that as we go forward we will have an active voice in demonstrating what I've said before - the moral courage to address things that we think are important to the promise of America and the American dream."
