YES!!!!!!! They boycotted them.

That was the hope.

Gillette, Starbucks, Dicks are skewered for their 'liberal' policies by the conservatives.

There's something fishy about all of this.

During a pandemic a guy complains about lost sales because of a woman who claimed she would post on Facebook --- but none of us can find the 'viral' posts and somehow this then caused people to step up and buy more pizzas in support.

So this article suggests there was never a call for a boycott post that anybody can produce. The woman just said she wouldn't be spending her money at the place.

SHe posted in a mom-centric facebook page she is administrator for --- definitely NOT a Facebook job.....any of us can set up a page on Facebook and give us the title of administrator.

The guy only found out because folks texted him about this local facebook page and the woman posting she wouldn't spend her money there.

There was no massive left leaning campaign.

It was all hyped for your viewing pleasure.

trump even tweeted about it. I'm sure the guy will get quite the boost from the local MAGAts.

The woman claims she didn't call for a boycott but that she did post about the flag on Facebook. I haven't seen the actual posts.

My point.

Nobody can produce a post calling for a boycott because it doesn't exist.

The woman ranted on the page about the flag and that she wouldn't spend her money there. It wasn't a calle for some campaign....just saying.

BUt conservative pundit media has taken this as some kind of sweeping liberal policy to destroy conservative businesses....

MASSIVE FAIL....and fake news.

This must be more of that FAKE NEWS that Trump and many of his supporters are always talking about and perpetuating.

He opened the door to politics why is anyone surprised it's fair game that someone would complain about it. Maybe he did this to get his business free advertising if that is true he is smart guy. Trump does the same thing keeps his name on the front pages of every news media website daily.
