Here’s a story the liberal media won’t cover: Leftist soda giant Coca-Cola seems to have made it clear where its political loyalties lie for the 2024 election, and it may have violated federal election law in the process.

When MRC researchers attempted to customize a “Personalized 12 fl oz. Can of Coca-Cola” on the company’s website at 2:04 p.m. on Sept. 25, the phrase “President Harris” was permitted as an acceptable prompt for a can. However, when MRC researchers entered “President Trump,” the company auto-denied the request and left an eye-opening message: “Looks like the name you requested is not approved. Names and phrases may not be approved if they are trademarked, political in nature, names of countries, celebrities, religious figures, as well as anything that could be considered offensive for other reasons.” Apparently “President Harris” didn’t fall into any of these categories. 

Is that right, Coca-Cola? Is “President Harris” not considered “political in nature” by the Coca-Cola website algorithm as opposed to “President Trump,” or is Coke just preventing Trump because he’s a celebrity and a politician, which would be convenient if the company was trying to give one campaign a boost before the November elections? 

MRC also found that the company tentatively allowed “Harris Walz 2024” as an acceptable prompt at 12:40 p.m. but auto-denied “Trump Vance 2024.” MRC Business immediately reached out to Coca-Cola for an explanation on the discrepancy in political treatment of “Harris Walz 2024” vs. “Trump Vance 2024.” After reaching out, MRC Business then attempted to buy the “Harris Walz 2024” can but was met with an update that the order was “Canceled.” In addition, the “Harris Walz 2024” prompt was subsequently auto-denied. Is this perhaps because the company got caught? 

.@CocaCola's custom can website allows you to use "Harris Walz 2024" but restricts you from using "Trump 2024" because it's "political in nature" or "offensive."

Unlike “Harris Walz 2024,” “President Harris” didn’t have a “pending review” watermark over the can, which means it was permitted for purchase. MRC Business ordered the “President Harris” can, and was met with an emailed response of “Approved!”

“There are serious questions about potential in-kind contribution law violations that Coca-Cola needs to answer here,” MRC Business Vice President Dan Schneider, a lawyer, said in a statement. “Under federal election law, corporations are forbidden from direct contributions to political campaigns and must disclose the value of expenditures advocating for or against the elections of political candidates.”

MRC Business explored other prompts that made the case on Coca-Cola’s leftist political bias even more damning, such as when it allowed “Biden Harris 2024” to be entered “pending review.” In addition, Coca-Cola auto-denied “Trump Won” or “Go Trump” for its cans but tentatively allowed “Harris Won,” “Go Harris” and “Trump Lost.” Even more shocking is that  the website tentatively permitted “Kill Trump” to appear on its can. But it doesn’t stop there. The website permitted — “pending review” — grossly anti-American phrases like “Allah Bless Iran” and “God Bless China” but auto-denied “God Bless America.” MRC recorded snapshots of all prompts used and all website's responses in this report.

For a woke company that once held a training seminar in which its employees were told to “try to be less white,” going all-in for Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 campaign and allowing anti-American bile appears par for the course. What makes Coca-Cola’s potential election interference even more chilling is that it was considered in 2020 to be the sixth most powerful company in the world, and the media aren’t going to cover it.

We know that the media won’t cover this story because they haven’t even bothered to properly cover Harris’s policy positions to inform voters of her radical views. A new Media Research Center poll of 1,200 people found that large majorities of registered Democrats and Independents who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 are mostly unaware of the numerous controversial and radical positions Harris has taken—and that’s precisely because the media are covering it up.

The Coca-Cola Company did not respond to MRC’s inquiries as of the publication of this report.
