CEO of Victoria's Secret parent L Brands quits the Republican Party after Obama visit
Source: Marketwatch
Leslie Wexner, chief executive of Victoria's Secret parent L Brands Inc. LB, -0.76% , has quit the Republican Party after a visit last week from former President Barack Obama, according to a report by the Columbus Dispatch. "I just decided I'm no longer a Republican," he said at a panel discussion. "I won't support this nonsense in the Republican Party."
Wexner was the richest Republican donor in Ohio, according to the Dispatch. Wexner now says he's an independent. Obama made a stop in the Ohio capital before going to a rally to support Democrat Richard Cordray's campaign for governor. In late 2017, Wexner donated $300,000 to a bipartisan PAC, With Honor, that supports military veterans who are running for office and pledge to conduct themselves with civility. His wife, Abigail Wexler, donated $2.5 million to the PAC in February.
