Ben & Jerry’s Posts Anti-American Message on July 4th; Critics Blast Their Hypocrisy

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Ben & Jerry’s ice cream posted an anti-American message on social media as the nation celebrated its 247th birthday Tuesday.

“Ah, the Fourth of July,” the company claimed in a statement. “Who doesn’t love a good parade, some tasty barbecue, and a stirring fireworks display? The only problem with all that, though, is that it can distract from an essential truth about this nation’s birth: The US was founded on stolen Indigenous land.”

“The U.S. exists on stolen land,” the statement later added. “We have to acknowledge that—today and every day.” . . .

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) tweeted: “Ben & Jerry’s, your once-good ice cream now sucks. You just guaranteed that I (a once-loyal customer) will never again consume a single pint of it.”

“When you suggest ‘returning’ the land on which our country has been built for centuries, what exactly do you imagine?” he continued. “Expungement of property rights? Repatriation of most Americans to Europe?” (Read more from “Ben & Jerry’s Posts Anti-American Message on July 4th; Critics Blast Their Hypocrisy” HERE)

Two States Looking At Banning Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream

/0 Comments/in , , /by

At least two Republican-led states are now considering banning Ben & Jerry’s ice cream after the company announced on Monday that it would no longer sell its ice cream in “occupied Palestinian territory.”

Both Texas and Florida officials have come out against Ben & Jerry’s, threatening to invoke state laws to punish companies that advocate or act to boycott, divest, or sanction Israel. America’s strongest ally has decried the ice cream giant’s move as anti-Israel and antisemitic.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Texas State Comptroller Glenn Hegar are threatening to add Ben & Jerry’s and its parent company, Unilever, to a blacklist of organizations that boycott Israel. That would make both companies ineligible for investments from the states’ pension funds. Florida passed an anti-BDS law in 2016 that limited interaction with companies that boycott Israel. DeSantis has formally requested that the Florida Board of Administration place the ice cream company and Unilver on a “continued examination” list.

“Should the State Board of Administration affirmatively place Unilever and its corporate entities on the Scrutinized Companies List and these companies do not cease the boycott of Israel as required by Florida law, the Board must refrain from acquiring any and all Unilever assets consistent with the law,” DeSantis noted in a letter.

Ben and Jerry’s Welcomes Refugees on Ice Cream

It’s hard to keep track these days of the myriad instances of left-wing messaging that are pushed and promoted through our pop culture.

In an effort to justify their own hysteria during the presidency of Donald J. Trump, liberal influencers have made their creations and words more blatantly political, and even aggressive, toward those with whom they don’t see eye to eye . . .

Take Ben & Jerry’s, for example.

The company has not only put out multiple anti-Trump statements through its website and other public statements — it’s even produced packaging for some of its ice cream with a graphic that clearly reads, “Refugees Welcome.”

That’s right. Just as you’re looking to unwind from the day’s political frenzy and grab yourself a treat, you’re faced with yet another example of personal politics and platform pushing. (Read more from “Ben and Jerry’s Welcomes Refugees on Ice Cream” HERE)
