Hell! Ben & Jerrys a Foreign corporation influencing our election??
Ben & Jerrys is no Mom & Pop shop, but owned by the worlds' biggest ice cream maker, Unilever, with billions in annual sales, mostly outside the us.

They are an Anglo-Dutch corporation.

This has me wondering what they're resisting, and if this represents undue foreign influence in an American election. Surely got 10000 times more press than those few Russian troll posts about Jesus in the 2016 election campaign period.

What say you? Is this a case of foreign influence meddling in an election? Should they be prosecuted?

Opinions, please! I didn't know until reading it on twitter and doing a little research online. Don't take my word for it. Just look up Unilever Ben & Jerrys and it's all there, on your favorite search engine.

Would greatly appreciate a pin to learn if others knew, and I was the only one in the dark on this.

I did know, I guess & didn't care - it was quite a while ago by now.

You bring up an excellent point about foreign corporate meddling.

Google/YouTube, also not an American company, but protecting us from 'fake election news'.

I like this angle OP. A lot.

Darn! Had a poll attached to this and it didn't show.

Thanks for the feedback, fret whiz.

Someone email Judicial Watch. Talk about foreign election meddling :) I am sure it is already among the 50k indictments.

Yes, but when they time the release of this new 'RESIST' flavor right before the election & it becomes a 'news story', is it meddling by a foreign influence?

The "Resist" Ice Creams is clearly timed to influence the election. Like Google and Facebook's censoring, a clear attempt to offer an undisclosed contribution to the democrats.

This time is different, though. It's not an American but an Angle-Dutch conglomerate, Unilever, that is doing it.

Time to get out the DOJ and hit them with some serious fines.
