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

Buycott L.L. Bean!
http://www.llbean.com/

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.”

I’m almost 100% certain L.L. Bean will be just fine, even with LefTards boycotting them.

There was a news story on a few weeks back leading up to Christmas that they couldn’t keep up with DEMAND for their classic rubber boots.

It’s a privately held company. This boycott is as silly as we Conservatives boycotting Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream. We wouldn’t buy it on a bet in the FIRST place, so L.L. Bean isn’t going to lose any business over this, because those Leftys are amazing ZEALOTS about NOT spending their money on things that, ‘hurt dare widdow feewings’ already. :)

So what. Starbucks would go out of business if they boycotted them for just a week.

Our local (Seattle) TV stations all wear Bean outerwear when doing remotes. (one station even calls itself “home of the yellow jackets”)

It will be interesting to see if the commie left here demands they change to Patagonia or North Face.
