CBS News: “Costco has reportedly stopped selling Palmetto Cheese after the owner of the pimento cheese brand called Black Lives Matter a ‘terror organization.’ The warehouse club pulled Palmetto Cheese, which had been sold in more than 120 of its stores, after Brian Henry, the founder of Palmetto Cheese and mayor of Pawleys Island, South Carolina, drew criticism for writing in a Facebook post on August 25 that he was ‘sickened by the senseless killings in Georgetown,’ according to news reports.”
“Screenshots of Henry’s post, which has since been deleted, made the rounds on social media and prompted calls for a boycott of Palmetto Cheese. The controversial Facebook post followed the deaths of two white people in Georgetown, South Carolina, in August, with a Black man accused of killing them in a dispute over a car crash, according to a local news station.”
