Grandstanding, getting some press to support their corporations, but the over-reaction by the CEO's are short sighted. There is so much that must be done, this racist incident in Charlottesville, Virginia, is more of a distraction from the challenges facing our country.  No one believes that White Supremacists  has any influence in our country, but their incredibly repugnant actions only further marginalize them.  The President never supported these radical groups, from the Right or the Left, and he has made it clear, he has one goal, to make America Great Again and actions like this makes his job a lot harder.  The CEO's are over paid, privileged people who think that by symbolically resigning from their positions, this will endear them to the Left, instead, they will be continued to be demonized by them anyway.
