Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE: MRK) CEO Ken Frazier is the second business leader to resign from the President’s American Manufacturing Council.
Frazier announced his resignation from the council on Monday, citing President Donald Trump’s failure to explicitly condemn white supremacists and Nazi sympathizers during weekend unrest in Charlottesville, Virginia.
“America’s leaders must honor our fundamental values by clearly rejecting expressions of hatred, bigotry and group supremacy,” Frazier says in his statement. “I feel a responsibility to take a stand against intolerance and extremism.”
Frazier departs two and a half months after Elon Musk, visionary CEO of Tesla ( TSLA) and SpaceX, departed the council, as well as Trump’s economic advisory board, on June 1 after Trump announced the U.S. would be leaving the Paris Climate Accord.
