I was surprised that Chick Fi La backed down.....but it is what it is.....I doubt this will change moving forward....Twitter is a sewer.

The fast-food chain is currently facing backlash on social media after it was reported that James Bodenstedt, the CEO of a company that franchises hundreds of Wendy’s, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell locations, had donated over $440,000 to President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign.

Bodenstedt’s donations were reported by Business Insider back in May, ahead of a roundtable discussion between members of the White House and members of the restaurant industry regarding coronavirus relief efforts. Bodenstedt, the CEO of Muy! Companies, was reportedly the first fast-food franchise operator to participate in such discussions. The White House meeting also took place after Bodenstedt had donated more than $440,000 to Trump’s reelection campaign, the latest being a $200,000 donation to the Trump Victory PAC in March, according to Business Insider.

I would never vandalize or destroy any properties. But I will never again stop by Wendy’s, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell locations (Not a big loss, they all suck any ways! And I doubt they will miss me, I don't do fast food.)But. To me, anyone that supports Trump is Un-American and should be boycotted.

Thumbs up to a peaceful non violent protest. Well done.

Comcast donates heavily to democrats, so I'm just gonna stop paying my bills. If dims wanna go low and play dirty, we can do that all week long. This is a game most dims can't win at because they can't pay their bills anyways, the tax payers do, so they have very little say in how "their" monies are spent. I on the other hand, have 100% control over where I shop and who my money is spent supporting.


I never cared much for Wendy's before, but it looks like I will be giving them a try again soon

So people who support the President of the United States are Un-American?? More Bizzaro World.

Just curious....do you think that Americans who support the president of their country are worse than low-class scumbags who loot stores, set cars on fire, and throw bricks at people’s heads?

I don't base my buying choices on whatever a business does with its money. Seems very childish to me. If you talk about where you invest your money that is different. But if I feel like a Wendy's burger which I do about once a month I am going to get one because I enjoy it.

Well, I'll have to counteract your boycott by going more often to Wendy's and Taco Bell. I can do without Pizza Hut.

And to counteract your loss, I will now patronize these restaurants more.

Comcast held Biden's high dollar campaign kick off fund raiser and are financial blunders and backers of his. They did the same for Obama and Hillary. Brian Roberts the CEO is a HUGE Democrat supporter and close friend of Obama's and Biden's. ALL the executives are leftist Democrat and big donors. The entire company donates to Democrats only.

Comcast also owns far left NBC and MSNBC yet some here don't think they are Leftist Democrats and Activists. Sad they delude themselves because they don't LIKE the truth.
