And a handful went ahead with a private VIP screening of the First Lady’s documentary at the White House. On Saturday, hours after federal agents killed Pretti, a group of CEOs opted to spend Saturday night at a private White House screening of the Amazon MGM Studios-produced “Melania” documentary about the first lady. Of course, those “iconoclasts” seem to find themselves increasingly out of step with their customer base of the American buying public. Many CEOs use the principles of liberalism when it suits them and ignore them when it doesn’t. “Things like that have to be tried — it’s existential.”And that’s what makes things like Cook’s MLK quote ring a little hollow.
