Left-Leaning Fast Food Fans Lose Appetite After In-N-Out Burger Donates To CA GOP

The late CEO, Rich Snyder, was an evangelical Christian and supporter of Republican candidates, and current president Lynsi Snyder is also devout. Like cult chain Chick-fil-A, In-N-Out doesn’t make its founders’ Christian values a secret, per se. Customers just might be so focused on their Animal Style burgers that they don’t notice the references to Bible quotes printed on the wrappers.

However, it’s not clear that the company’s current leadership is nearly as aligned with the Republicans as that of Chick-fil-A, a company that has publicly come out against LGBT rights. According to campaign finance filings, In-N-Out Burger also donated $30,000 last year and $50,000 this year to Californians for Jobs and a Strong Economy, a political action committee that supports business-friendly Democratic candidates.

In-N-Out’s reputation for fantastic burgers is bolstered by its policy of paying more than minimum wage and offering competitive benefits for fast food workers. While the simple menu offers only burgers, fries and shakes, the chain’s secret menu is legendary. Founded in 1948 and still family-owned, In-N-Out only operates in six western states—Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon, Texas and Utah—but has Colorado in its sights.

Who cares if the current leadership isn't aligned with Republicans, The Founders is all that matters!

Boycott all you want. No doubt your absence will cause the burger chain to collapse, just as the gay protests destroyed Chick Fil A.

In the past, at least, In-n-out has also donated to pro-life groups.

In any case, I kinda doubt In-n-out is sweating over this threatened boycott. It's a family-owned business that basically prints money. If a few libs stop eating there, well, good. Maybe the drive-thru line won't be so long.

“Chick-fil-A, a company that has publicly come out against LGBT rights.”

Big Media lies. It’s who they are, and what they do.

In-N-Out doesn’t serve soy burgers, so the left never went there to begin with.

Those are no In-N-Out cups! In-N-Out cups have red palm trees and if you search, you’ll find bible verses on the bottom and sides.

If Chic-Fil-A is any indication, we all may want to pick up some In-N-Out Burger stock immediately.

Look at this quote:
"Like cult chain Chick-fil-A, In-N-Out …"

I'm gobsmacked, they really printed that! Is that sort of the the cult chain Starbucks?

Fortune, huh? I guess now that's just another leftists butt wipe.

How dare they actually donate money to a political party other than the official state religion...err I mean official party of the state of california. There needs to be a test for any business in California to make sure they swear alligence, donate to and and only serve dems.
