A “progressive” Texas baker and “Food Network” star has received harsh backlash, hateful comments and death threats over cookies she was selling bearing the face of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
Haley Popp launched the blue-frosted sugar cookies which featured the Democratic Vice Presidential candidate’s likeness at her Hive Bakery ahead of Tuesday’s Vice Presidential Debate between Walz and Sen. JD Vance.
“We only have a few dozen! Order online or come see us!! Who’s ready for the VP beats tonight?!,” the bakery wrote on Facebook alongside the cookie with a smiling Walz.
Eight hours after sharing the post, Popp revealed that the bakery had received hateful messages and phone calls because of her “liberal cookies.”
“Here’s the thing. I don’t give a f--- if you don’t want to buy a cake from me because I put out Tim Walz cookies,” Popp wrote. “I couldn’t care less what your opinion of me is, nor do I think twice about your unsolicited advice on how I should run my business. You don’t like me? Don’t come here. You don’t like that I post political shit? Unfollow. You are irrelevant.”
“We’ve built a business with grit, tenacity, authenticity and one that has a real voice. We stand for something. No one will ever take that from us,” she added. “Save your harassment for someone else. With such hateful rhetoric, we never wanted you in our shop to begin with.
The bakery shared screenshots of the comments it had received, which ranged from calling Popp “disgusting” to threatening her life.
Popp, who describes herself as a “progressive, female business owner,” says she has reported the harassment to the Flower Mound Police Department in the past, but it “persists.”

Cough…Masterpiece Cakeshop…cough.

What a horrible, unprofessional business woman. Terrible public language, rejecting half the population, i.e. potential customers. Hope little Timmy was worth it lady.
She says she doesn’t give a F#$K…………which is all you need to know about her, AND I say she is making this whole thing up to get attention!!!
I suspect the threats are fake.
Typical Democrat woman....ugh.
“I suspect the threats are fake.”
Agree.
No one gives a &^%$ about that little loser, and there are other bakeries.
I wish they would trace the origins of the death threats. I think they would find that most, if not all, do not come from true MAGA supporters. Death threats are just not our style.
This would be similar to the perpetrators of the vast majority, if not all, of the hate crime graffiti smeared on doors in college campuses, etc.,
investigations show that they are mostly done by someone in the category attacked.
It is also just lime J6 being an instigated false flag, this nation has gone into the abyss, if they steal this election I don’t know what the hell we are going to do!!
I agree, why would anyone care (other than a rat) if you’re selling cookies with a candidate’s face? It’s their business they should do what they want.
Tatted up dude in drag. Seeing that pedo’s face on food would make most people puke.
“I say she is making this whole thing up to get attention!!!”
Business was probably slumping, and ratings for her crappy show were probably dropping. Those “threats” were probably from family and friends to stir up a buzz.
rather yucky it is

I discovered this website while looking to see what the bullies and haters are doing against me and my husband and I found this website and all the horrable things you all have been saying just because Gordon Ramsay lies about me. None of you have ever even been to my restarant before and never even tasted my food. YOU NEVER DID SO WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BULLY AND HATE? MY FOOD IS NOT FROZEN! GORDON NEVER EVEN TRIED MY CAKE! WHY AM I AN EVIL WITCH??? WHO ARE YOU TO THINK YOU CAN GO ON THE INTERNET AND SAY THINGS ABOUT MY RESTAURANT LIKE THAT? WE STAND STRONG AGAINST ONLINE HATERS AND BULLIES!!! GOD IS ON OUR SIDE WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN!! WE WILL STAND STRONG AND WE WILL OVERCOME!!!
Death threats? Attacks?
In the past, I would have declared BS on this, and noted this sort of thing was usually an attention-getting device.
Over the past five or six years, both sides of the aisle have reached an equilibrium of loonies and flakes. Today - yes, I can see some people making death threats over frigging cookies.
