| Harley-Davidson CEO compares himself to 'Taliban' in effort to remake motorcycle brand |

| [FoxNews] Harley-Davidson CEO, accused of going woke, said he's 'trying to redefine' capitalism. The Harley-Davidson motorcycle brand and business model are being "attacked" from within, social-media influencer Robby Starbuck suggested in a new post on X. He cited the words of the company's own CEO, Jochen Zeitz, who's been accused of going woke as he oversees the iconic brand. The German-born Zeitz took over as CEO in May 2020. "Imagine standing in front of CEOs of luxury brands that now think you are the ‘sustainable Taliban,’ as somebody once called me," Zeitz said in a speech at the Zermatt Summit in Switzerland in 2020, referencing his time as board member of Kiering, parent company of Gucci, Puma and Stella McCartney. Suicide bombers killed 183 people, including 13 U.S. service members, on Aug. 26, 2021, during the U.S. military's mass evacuation at the Kabul airport. This week, three years after that chaotic withdrawal, the Taliban paraded its U.S. military equipment through the streets of Kabul in celebration of the moment, as Fox News Digital reported on Wednesday. "The first thing that jumps to my mind when I hear ‘Taliban’ is all the aggressive, horrible things they’ve done," said Starbuck, who has led a social-media effort to highlight Harley-Davidson's drift into controversial far-left management practices.

| #5 This was the desired outcome - that's why the Leftist Euro-weenie was installed as CEO. |

| #3 That's just it, none of these people - and that includes these politicians especially the childless ones - put sweat in the bucket or have real skin in the game. This was all gifted. And yes, TalibanLBQ+ is right. |

| #1 Brilliant choice in role model. Perhaps the next commercial can show the former Bud Light "Spokestran" sitting side saddle on a hog gingerly sipping said brew. |
