Campbell Soup Co. is distancing itself from a tweet sent by one of its executives that knocked Open Society, a group backed by investor George Soros.

Kelly Johnston, Campbell’s vice president of government affairs since 2002, sent a tweet this week that said Open Society had “planned and is executing” the migrant caravan that is heading to the U.S. Johnston, 62, is a former secretary of the U.S. Senate and a Republican.
