While most of you likely celebrated Independence Day with a cold, non-Budweiser beer and a hot dog, ice cream giant “Ben & Jerry’s” instead decided to shoot off a tweet condemning not only Independence Day, but the country as a whole.

According to Ben & Jerry’s, the Fourth of July isn’t fit for celebration because our country was birthed on “stolen land.”

Ah the old, “this land was stolen” bit. How original.

It’s odd though because I have yet to see Ben and Jerry’s give up even a square inch of the “stolen land” their ice cream joints cover…

Ice cream company Ben & Jerry's sparked outrage with a July 4th tweet calling for the United States to return 'stolen indigenous land' starting with giving Mount Rushmore back to the Lakota Sioux tribe.

This 4th of July, it's high time we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it,' the company's official account wrote before suggesting Mount Rushmore should be handed back to its original owners

The tweet sparked immediate outrage on social media, with many disgusted customers using the #boycottbenandjerrys hashtag to slam the message as anti-American sentiment on a day meant to celebrate the United States

The ice cream giant, now owned by British multinational Unilever, has long supported far left causes, often with dedicated ice cream flavors

Looks like Ben & Jerry's following the path of Bud Light and risking go broke. The slogan says: Go woke go broke!

I wonder why on earth companies such as Bud Light or Ben & Jerry's, and perhaps other, are getting into politics when they try to sell their products knowing this could cause a reaction and their sales are likely to drop.

These companies have no business telling customers what to think, what to do, what to say, what to believe, or engage in politics trying to push political messages or agendas. They are there to sell their product and that's all.

I sincerely hope their sales drop as a result of this.

Of course, Americans don't want to be reminded of their past sins.

Being good at conquering inferior nations is not a sin.
Lazy ass natives should have trained better.

If you go woke then you go broke..
There should be more consequences when companies decide to push woke stuff instead of selling their products to customers.
