Coca-Cola deleted mentions of donations the company had made to Black Lives Matter on a web page related to social justice in relation to BLM's "voting education" initiatives.
The removed references were noticed by Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz, who made note of the change on his X account, saying the brand had been "caught red handed."
"CocaCola deletes its support for BLM. One screenshot is of CocaCola's website before BLM supported Hamas parachuting into a concert to kill Israeli civilians. The other is from this morning. Editing your website is not enough. Americans DEMAND an apology," the senator wrote.
