Too bad innocent employees are probably going to get hurt, but I would never work for people comfortable expressing that level of stupidity and hate out loud or in public. They would have had my resignation and a letter of intent to speak to all media outlets about the character (or total lack thereof) of the owners and management of the company.

Hi, I'm Dave Bergen, owner and president of Furniture Connection.
Today, a comment was made on social media by my wife Joy regarding the protests in Minneapolis, Minnesota
She is not involved in furniture connection, but I understand her words reflected on me and our company
What was said was wrong and it does not represent my beliefs or the values of furniture connection.
