IKEA, the Swedish ready-to-assemble furniture company known for its affordable furniture and cafeteria-style meal offerings, is distancing itself from a planned political rally in New England.
“We’re aware that our New Haven (CT) store parking lot is being promoted as a meeting location for a MAGA event this Saturday. We ask those who plan to gather at IKEA New Haven to understand they are not authorized to use the property as a meeting location,” the company said in a statement Friday.
The company added, “We’re working in close partnership with local law enforcement to ensure we provide a safe environment for our customers and co-workers. IKEA has no political affiliation.”
Social media posts by pro-Trump supporters identify the parking lot as a planned meeting location for a “Drag the Interstate” event in which participants would head as a group towards the Hartford State Capitol building in Downtown Hartford via Interstate 91 North.
