Good news! Tiki torches were not designed to promote Nazism. After their torches were used by white supremacists protesting and marching in Charlottesville over the weekend, Tiki Brand made sure to denounce the horrifying events. "Our products are designed to enhance backyard gatherings and to help family and friends connect with each other at home in their yard," the company said in a statement. Doc Thompson and Kris Cruz talk about Tiki Brand’s statement and why people are so sensitive these days.
