Leftists Boycott L.L. Bean For Daring to Donate to Trump PAC

Buycott L.L. Bean!

A leftist group that targeted Ivanka Trump’s fashion line in the fall is now targeting the L.L. Bean clothing and equipment company because one of its 50 co-owners dared to donate $60,000 to a pro-Donald Trump political action committee (PAC).

The donor in question, according to the Daily Mail, is “Linda Bean, one of 50 co-owners and a member of the founding Bean family.” Her donation was sent to Making America Great Again LLC, according to the Associated Press, and came to light because the Federal Election Commission (FEC) complained the contribution was 12 times higher than the maximum allowable $5,000 individual limit. (PACs are subject to limits; super PACs are not, but may not coordinate politically with campaigns.)

Making America Great Again LLC chair David Jones said that he had been unaware of a letter from the FEC, and that the PAC was taking steps to convert to a super PAC.

The story, however, was enough to catch the attention of the “#GrabYourWallet” campaign, which has added L.L. Bean to its list of “Additional Entities to Consider Boycotting,” on the grounds that “Company leader raised funds for Trump PAC.”

Besides, a company specializing in work boots and out door stuff has little to fear from a herd of snowflakes!

LOL! :-D

As an aside, I was unfamiliar with Chik-Fil-A restaurants years ago.

Now I specifically visit there when traveling and need quick meal while driving.

Same here. These leftist boycotts almost always FAIL.

Was in the shoe department of the REI in Albuquerque a few years ago.

There were a couple of women there who seemed to fall into the category of “fond of each other”.

What were they shopping for?

Overhearing the conversation ... “dress shoes”.

Oh, brother. The Seattle REI was a ‘special’ place all it’s own.
