The popular California-based fast-food chain that was targeted by yet another of the left’s outrageous cyberbullying campaigns is fighting back.
In-N-Out Burger joined the long list of corporations that have been attacked by authoritarians using weaponized social media platforms after oppo researchers who are all but certainly linked to the Democratic party dug up filings that they made a donation to the state Republican party and immediately took to Twitter to rally the hate mobs.

Via The Sacramento Bee, “‘Stop eating In-N-Out like yesterday.’ California Democrats call for boycott”:
California Democratic Party Chairman Eric Bauman is calling for a boycott of In-N-Out Burger after the Irvine-based fast-food chain this week donated $25,000 to help Republicans this November.
“Et tu In-N-Out? Tens of thousands of dollars donated to the California Republican Party,” Bauman wrote on Twitter. “It’s time to #BoycottInNOut — let Trump and his cronies support these creeps…perhaps animal style!”
The burger chain started in Southern California decades ago by a Christian family, whose granddaughter Lynsi Snyder still owns the company. It proudly displays its religious views — there’s a Bible verse on some packaging — and has in recent years contributed to Republicans and pro-business causes.
Then something unusual happened.
Unlike the gutless national corporations whose executives’ backbones turned into jelly at the slightest suggestion that far-left bullies like David Hogg would single them out, the leadership at In-N-Out dared to defy the mob by not only refusing to buckle but defending the company’s record.

Via The Daily Wire, “‘In-N Out-Burger’ Defends Their GOP Donations In Strong Statement”:
Soon after, the hashtag #BoycottInNOut began trending on Twitter with the same fire and fury as seen during the Chick-fil-A controversy when CEO Dan Cathy revealed his support for traditional marriage. Even California Democratic Party Chair Eric Bauman joined in on the boycott. Fortunately, like Chick-fil-A, the burger chain has decided not to cave to the pressure.
In a statement, In-N-Out Burger executive vice president Arnie Wensinger defended the company’s donations, noting that the company has given to both parties.
The entire statement from In-N-Out Burger:
In 2018, In-N-Out Burger has made equal contributions to both Democratic and Republican Political Action Committees in the State of California. 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.
It is actually far more important to In-N-Out and our Foundations to support our communities by contributing millions of dollars to hundreds of organizations in California to prevent child abuse, human trafficking and substance addiction.
We have been fortunate to do business in this great state for almost 70 years. 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.
Arnie Wensinger, Executive Vice President

Yes, that’s right! In-N-Out Burger also donated to Democrats and liberal causes but like goons named Mao, Lenin, and Stalin, the totalitarian party wants it ALL.
The preferred tactic of the angry socialist left has been to utilize technology to engage in organized social media pogroms to intimidate corporations that they disagree with into caving to their demands. The proper term for this should be “economic terrorism” and any future regulation of big tech should address those who use Twitter and Facebook to bully, dox and otherwise coerce victims into surrendering as they are little better than extortionists and should be treated as such.
Three cheers for In-N-Out Burger but this is what’s at stake in the next two elections folks.
If the socialist extremists gain political power then they will make your choices for you. Where to eat, what to read, what to watch, what to think etc.
It’s going to take a major effort to roll back this menace but all patriotic Americans should look to In-N-Out Burger for inspiration.
