Allstate Shredded For Response To Terrorist Attack

Allstate Pulls a Bud light Moment, Backfires INSTANTLY

Allstate, which sponsored the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, was slammed on social media over its response to the terror attack in New Orleans that left at least 15 people dead and dozens more wounded.

Early on the morning of New Year’s Day, 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar — an American citizen and Army veteran who pledged allegiance to ISIS — drove a pickup truck through a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing at least 15 people who were celebrating the New Year.

The Sugar Bowl was scheduled for later that day, but was rescheduled to the following afternoon because of the terror attack.

While sane individuals condemned the attack and called out Islamic terror as the cause, apparently Allstate CEO Thomas Wilson thinks differently. In a video played by ESPN just before the Sugar Bowl kicked off, Wilson offered condolences to the victims’ loved ones, then proceeded to blame the attack on the American people — calling on Americans 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,” Wilson added in the short video. “Together, we win.”

Turning Point USA spokeswoman Isabel Brown shared the Allstate CEO’s video on social media, where it quickly went viral and prompted massive backlash.

“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’??!!! You’re JOKING,” Brown wrote in the video’s caption.

Other social media users quickly jumped to criticize Allstate for refusing to condemn terrorism and for lecturing the American people about “acceptance.”

“Insane move @Allstate. How about condemning terrorism? Fire all your PR people,” Outkick founder Clay Travis wrote.

“This is crazy by Allstate. Maybe — and hear me out here — we should all agree that terrorism will not be tolerated in the United States,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) wrote.

“Only major companies somehow get this out of touch with society,” conservative activist Robby Starbuck argued. “To normal people this sounds like @Allstate giving cover to an ISIS terrorist as if he wouldn’t have killed those people if we all accepted his backwards ideology. This is the definition of suicidal empathy.”

Former NBC NFL reporter Michele Tafoya quipped that Allstate probably “wishes it had a mulligan.”

“Yikes. Bad decision. Silly message. Platitudes about acceptance, and nothing about rejecting terror in all its forms,” she added.

This statement was not particularly shocking, as Allstate — which has been a longtime sponsor of college football and has sponsored the Sugar Bowl since 2007 — has gone fully woke over the years, completely endorsing the radical left’s “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) initiatives and deeming them a “core value.”
