Land O’Lakes will no longer support Steve King, citing 'company's values'
The Hill ^ | October 30, 2018

Dairy company Land O'Lakes will no longer make financial contributions to Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), the company said Tuesday.

"The Land O’Lakes, Inc. PAC has traditionally contributed to lawmakers of both parties that represent the communities where our members and employees live and work and are also on committees that oversee policies that directly impact our farmer owners," Land O'Lakes said in a statement.

"We take our civic responsibility seriously, want our contributions to be a positive force for good and also seek to ensure that recipients of our contributions uphold our company’s values. On that basis, we have determined that our PAC will no longer support Rep. Steve King moving forward," the company added.

No more buying their butter. Plenty of other brands on the shelf.

Another instance where a marketing department filled with Millenial female social media addicts who got degrees from Liberal brainwashing colleges convinced the CEO that the business was going under based on 15 angry Tweets.

Kerrygold butter is much better, and you can even get it at Walmart these days.

We eat Kerrygold Irish butter now anyway. No problem. I am surprised at how many companies are throwing 50% of their clients under the bus.

Who needs them as long as Kerrygold is available?

Yep. Same here. Won’t buy their products any more. What did King do that was so egregious? Be a Republican?

“No more buying their butter. Plenty of other brands on the shelf.”

Talk about unforced errors. These people are stupid to bend over backwards to hurt their businesses.

I still find the Land O' Lakes boob trick funny though. It's been funny for 40 years.
