(Roll Call) Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison wants Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos to ask about the website’s sale of white nationalist propaganda and toys.
Ellison, who is running for Minnesota attorney general, sent a letter to Bezos asking about the sale of literature published by organizations billed as “hate groups” by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
“I would like to know whether Amazon is committed to ceasing the sale of all products that promote hateful and racist ideologies,” Ellison’s letter said.
Despite Amazon’s policy of prohibiting the sale of “products that promote or glorify hatred, violence, racial, sexual, or religious intolerance or promote organizations with such views,” there was a “shocking” amount of SPLC-designated hate groups using Amazon, Ellison said.
