"Campbell Soup boss apologizes for VP’s Soros conspiracy tweet", 24 Oct 2018

Campbell Soup’s interim chief executive apologized for a tweet from one of the company’s senior employees that peddled a conspiracy theory about the migrant caravan headed to the US-Mexico border. Kelly Johnston, Campbell’s vice president of government affairs — who had tweeted Monday that billionaire George Soros was deploying “rail cars” to transport a caravan of immigrants trying to enter the US illegally — will leave the company next month as part of a previously planned exit, a Campbell spokesperson said Wednesday... Campbell interim Chief Executive Keith McLoughlin apologized in a letter to Soros’ Open Society Foundation, saying that Johnston’s comments “do not represent the position of Campbell and are inconsistent with how Campbell approaches public debate.”... On Monday, Johnston posted a photo of the caravan from his Twitter account and claimed Open Society was involved....Open Society denied it was funding the effort in a tweet Tuesday. On Tuesday, the foundation’s president, Patrick Gaspard, called on Campbell to “condemn” Johnston’s views.
