Penzeys, a Wisconsin-based spice retailer, has accused the Republican Party of embracing racism for backing Donald Trump.

Penzeys operates dozens of retail outlets in 29 states – along with a popular mail order business. And many of their customers were outraged by the insinuation that people who voted for Trump are racist.
