“It is clear that dei is divided and it is toxic. The America people don't want it. The American people long for a society where hard work and talent is rewarded, 'Emily Sturge, a student at the University of Florida told Fox News on Tuesday.
The host of Fox & Friends had asked her why – when most Costco customers are national and supporters Trump voters – Costco 'Bud Light' would be himself if they know that American people no longer want dei.

The controversial civil -law activist led 100 members of his national action network via the Harlem Costco to spend their money in a token of gratitude for the decision.
President Trump has already introduced anti-dei initiatives and claims that they are unfair and distracting.
Companies such as Meta Platforms, Amazon.com, JPMorgan Chase and Boeing have changed their initiatives and deleted their goals.
In the meantime, vocal figures on social media, such as Robby Starbuck, have also insisted on boycots of so -called 'gesture' companies.
However, Costco has stood its ground. The company's board had encouraged investors to reject an investigation into whether the dei was damaged the retailer, for example by forcing it to overlook the best candidates.
More than 98 percent of the shareholders voted against it on Thursday.
Costco is banking on his status as a beloved store with loyal customers
The proposal voted for the Costco shareholders' meeting came from the National Center for Public Policy Research.
The conservative activist group was putting pressure on Costo to produce a report in which the potential risks of the dei initiatives are explained – because it says that they are counterproductive and touch the share price.
In its shareholder proposal, the group stated: “Dei clearly forms lawsuits, reputation and financial risks for the company.”
All companies have a duty to avoid practices that harm their share price – because it damages investors.
But the directors of Costco argued That dei policy is an active, no liability.
Executives emphasized that a diverse workforce and supplier base help with attracting top talent, promoting innovation and improving the 'Treasure Hunt' shopping experience that customers appreciate.
Costco also argued that the conservative group that brings the motion has other motives than dei risks for the stock price.
The retailer also said that her customers enjoy diversity that is reflected in his workforce.

Costco is banking on his status as a beloved store with loyal customers who have helped to stay out of political frays in the past.
“They are not the worst of the worst, so they were not my focus,” Starbuck, who successfully put Walmart under pressure to reverse part of the dei policy, said Costco.
Retail expert Neil Saunders told DailyMail.com that Costco believes that the various programs have helped to build a strong company.
“Given the positive results in recent years, it is impossible to claim that Costco Management does not know what it is doing,” said Saunders of Global Data.
'There is an element of those who say we will continue to work. Although some customers may not like the policy, I doubt whether many will go over, because it is not visible or whether the shoppers directly influence. '
It comes after large companies such as Walmart, Ford, John Deere and Tractor Supply Boyweweerden to print and pushed back on their obligations.
In July John Deere made a huge U-turn on his dei practices in the light of opposition and a harmful boycott of farmers and conservatives.
