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.”
