Rep. Pressley Calls Walgreens Closure Discrimination
2nd February 2024
Walgreens announced the closure of approximately 200 stores nationwide last year due to what the company called “rampant theft.”
In a speech on the House floor Tuesday, Pressley said the “closures are not arbitrary and they are not innocent.”
“They are life-threatening acts of racial and economic discrimination,” she said, according to the Mail. “That is why I joined with [Massachusetts] Senators [Ed] Markey and [Elizabeth] Warren to demand answers from Walgreens’ CEO.”
Apparently it’s racist to impede black people from stealing from drug stores. Who knew?
