The rush to judgment by users of social media is illustrated by the fact that within days of the contentious remarks by Senator David Perdue (R-GA) there were online calls for a boycott of Perdue Farms brands.
The company was forced to issue statements that the company has no connection with the Senator. Social media can be powerful in both a positive and a negative direction.
Senator David Perdue is in fact the first cousin of Dr. Sonny Perdue, Secretary of Agriculture, born George Ervin Perdue III.
