That is absolutely right. When celebrities (or others) make the choice to be spokespeople, their reputation and actions become linked with the company they represent. Obviously her endorsement deals are of less importance to her than her ability to make such political commentary. That is a choice entirely on her head not the Republicans (or others) who are offended by her actions/statements. Just as she has a right to say what she wants they have a right to respond. Whether that response is in the form of letters, emails, advertisements, or spending is irrelevant.
