South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem laid into uber-woke ice cream brand Ben & Jerry's over the company's infamous July 4th tweet in which it called for Mount Rushmore to be returned to Native Americans.
Noem, a Republican, called the Ben & Jerry's bosses a 'bunch of liberal Vermont businessmen' who 'haven't studied our history' and think that they 'know everything about this country,' during an interview with Fox News on Thursday.
The governor went on to call Mount Rushmore 'the greatest symbol of our freedom.'
Since sending out the message on Tuesday, Unilever, which has owned Ben & Jerry's since 2000, has lost $2.6 billion in market capital. Those shares were down .5 percent on Wednesday and down 1 percent at the start of trading on Thursday.
At the time of writing, the company's market capital is down to $131 billion from $133.5 billion.
'We can learn from the men on that mountain. We can do better, but boy did they lead us through some challenging times,' Noem added in her Fox interview in an apparent reference to the face that adorn the monument, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.
'We should be proud of America and knock off what Ben & Jerry's is doing. They don't have any idea what they're doing,' the governor added.
Noem had been touted by some as a potential 2024 nominee for the Republican party having recently seen her state pass multiple populist right-wing bills including a ban on gender-affirming care for minors and sales tax cut.

unilever owns talenti
Kristy you almost got it right. Liberal NYC business men who think they know everything after invading VT.
They sold the company Gov Noemi
Hellman and Best Foods was one company originally.
it’s krap ice cream ... always has been, even b4 unilever ... full of artificial thickeners so they can cheap-out on expensive cream content, as well as various other chemical additives ... compare B&J ice creams with Haagen Daz 5-ingredient ice creams ...
apparently, because people thought that hippies made B&J ice cream, it MUST be good ... NOT! ...
I hesitate to say this, but B&J learned to make ice cream at the Penn State University College of Dairy Science. That is why the quality is high. Lousy politics; great ice cream.
They were originally known as Lever Brothers Company.
I am a bit confused here. Why would you boycott an ice cream brand these guys have sold to a multinational company or that company’s other products?
Dioxin in ice cream sold for children to eat.
No safe limit and all that.
They may still have the stuff in there.

“GOP’s Kristi Noem slams owners as ‘liberal Vermont businessmen who think they know everything’”
Ben and Jerry are Rosenberg wannabes.
I bought a ice cream machine last year and will never go back to store bought.
Kristi, Ben and Jerry sold out. Like most leftist they sold out to Globalists
Add that to Proctor and Gamble stuff and it doesn’t leave much to buy.
