The Gateway Pundit reported that Hims and Hers CEO Andrew Dudum sparked outrage when he praised anti-Israel protestors and encouraged them to apply to his company, claiming that companies would want to hire them for their “moral courage.”
Dudum posted on X, “Moral courage > College degree. “If you’re currently protesting against the genocide of the Palestinian people & for your university’s divestment from Israel, keep going. It’s working.”
He continued, “There are plenty of companies & CEOs eager to hire you, regardless of university discipline.”
X users were confused and angry upon seeing this tone-deaf post, with many threatening to boycott the company.
