Allstate CEO and board chairman Tom Wilson had a message for viewers of yesterday’s Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. Referring to the Bourbon Street terrorist attack, Wilson seemed to have taken our measure and found us wanting: “We also need to be stronger together by overcoming an addiction to divisiveness and negativity. Join Allstate, working in local communities all across America to amplify the positive, increase trust, and accept people’s imperfections and differences.”
What you mean “we,” kemo sabe? He’s not talking about himself. I think he’s talking about “you.” He’s lecturing us. What have “we” done? “We” have done something wrong.
Turned on the Notre Dame – Georgia game for it to start with this ridiculous propaganda from @Allstate on yesterday’s terrorist attack:
“We need to overcome an addiction to divisiveness and negativity… & accept people’s imperfections and differences”??!!!

As Wilson’s statement attracted a certain backlash, Allstate responded to a request from Fox News Digital for a comment. Allstate framed its comment as a clarification: “To be clear, Allstate CEO Tom Wilson unequivocally condemns this heinous act of terrorism and violence in all forms. We stand with the families of the victims, their loved ones and the community of New Orleans. The reference to overcoming divisiveness and negativity reflects a broader commitment to fostering trust and positivity in communities across the nation.”
Allstate presents as yet another example of woke corporate stupidity and cowardice. It’s not in good hands.
