    Democrats Call for In-N-Out Boycott Over Donation to GOP

    The wildly popular fast food chain, In-N-Out Burger, has donated $25,000 to the GOP sparking controversy. The openly Christian, west coast food chain reportedly donated a large sum of money to the GOP this week causing Washington, D.C.-based journalist Gabe Schneider, to respond on Twitter, Wednesday.

    Schneider posted a screenshot of the company's contribution and captioned it, "In-N-Out added a new item to their secret menu."

    This tweet gained the attention of thousands of people receiving 1,522 retweets and 2,497 likes.

    On Thursday, Eric Bauman, the chairman of the California Democratic Party, also spoke out about this on Twitter calling for Californians to boycott the resturant. Bauman said, "Et tu In-N-Out? Tens of thousands of dollars donated to the California Republican Party... it's time to #BoycottInNOut – Let Trump and his cronies support these creeps... perhaps animal style!"

    According to CBS News, In-N-Out executive vice president Arnie Wensinger responded to this call to action on Twitter saying, "For years, In-N-Out Burger has supported lawmakers who, regardless of political affiliation, promote policies that strengthen California and allow us to continue operating with the values of providing strong pay and great benefits for our Associates."

    He continued, "While it is unfortunate that our contributions to support both political parties in California has caused concern with some groups, we believe that bipartisan support is a fair and consistent approach that best serves the interests of our company and all of our Customers,"

    This year In-N-Out also donated money to a political action committee known as Californians for Jobs and a Strong Economy which was founded by David Townsend, a political operative who identifies as a democrat. The company donated $50,000 to the PAC.

    California Democrats Boycott Of In-N-Out Backfires Spectacularly

    A call from the head of the California Democratic Party to boycott In-N-Out Burger over its $25,000 donation to the GOP, appears to have backfired rather spectacularly according to the Los Angeles Times. Take Anthony Grigore, a true-blue Democrat. But as he waited Thursday at an In-N-Out Burger in El Segundo for his meal, Grigore made it clear party loyalty would only go so far.

    Just hours earlier, the head of the California Democratic Party called for a boycott of the famed burger chain after a public filing revealed that the company had recently donated $25,000 to the state's Republican Party.

    "Eating at In-N-Out is such a standard thing to do across California," Grigore told the LA Times dismissing the boycott idea as a bit silly.

    On Wednesday, Journalist Gabe Schneider tweeted a filing from the burger joint showing the $25,000 donation (while failing to note the $80,000 In-N-Out has donated to a liberal PAC over two years). ...






    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...
    (Ephesians 4:17-18)

    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...
    (Psalm 1)

    I drive by their headquarters sometimes. All of their restaurants stay packed.
    As liberal as it is here, I think this one will backfire. Believe it or not, we have a strong bible believing, church going Hispanic community here. Even though they are almost exclusively Democrat, they are very strong on traditional family values as are the orientals, Indians, Muslims, we have a huge community of Ethiopians and they are very Christian & conservative yet Democrat. Not sure what they think of Nancy Pelosi though lol

    we were talking about this sort of thing today.

    when the left decides they're unhappy they come up with cracked brain ideas and want to get everyone involved.
    they usually don't take into account how much the right, even if there's not a lot of press on it, does their own thing.

    So, the left says "boycott X" and the right goes all out to support whoever the target is

    When the right decides to "boycott X" they just do it and then talk about it. Like minds etc.
