The co-founders of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream on Thursday endorsed Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairmanship.
“Ellison is an authentic champion of working families and he’s ready to bring that energy and mindset to the Democratic Party,” Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield said in a joint U.S. News op-ed published Thursday.
While the ice cream company has released flavors named after public figures, including comedian Stephen Colbert and musicians Dave Matthews and Jerry Garcia, the pair don't announce plans for an Ellison-themed flavor in their op-ed. Instead, they pitch the Minnesota politician as part of the party's "next generation" of leaders.
“The Democratic Party now faces a critical choice: seek out new, young leadership to electrify the next generation so they can take back the state houses, take back the governor’s mansions, take back Congress and take back the White House in order to usher in a new age of good government and social justice,” they added. "Or stick to business-as-usual that the people have already rejected at the ballot box. Let’s try something new.”
Ellison is one of the two leading candidates in the race ahead of a late February vote, a favorite of the party's Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) wing who is facing off against former Labor secretary and Obama administration favorite Tom Perez.
Cohen and Greenfield said 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s loss to now-President Trump is evidence that the party should abandon its old-guard politicians.

[ Have they named an ice cream flavor for him yet? ]
“Sharia Strawberry Surprise”
“Kafir Krispy Krunch”
“Fruity Gumdrop Munch”
“Death to Americreme”
Ellison personifies the DNC and should be made the head ASAP.
Yes
Someone even less qualified than the clueless DWS.
In support or Ellison they are coming out with “Sharia Sherbet” as they have done for other causes.
Any infidel (non-Muslim or wrong type of Muslim) who eats it should have their hands and tongue cut off the first time and be stoned to death the second offense.
Muslim women can only eat it in the presence of their husband or another close family male and should be punished with beheading (honor killing) if they are found in violation.
It will come in many flavors but they cannot be combined since the combo may look like “rainbow sherbet” and mistaking for a pro-homosexual dessert. Anyone combining flavors should be thrown off a building.
I was until Ben and Jerry's posted support for BLM late last year.
Just as with Target and Starbucks, we have so many choices that it's easy breezy to avoid socially corrosive "progressive" businesses.

TWO courses of action FOR US here...
1.. Petition AGAINST him pointing out how ‘bad’ he really is.
D’s will support him.
2.. Petition FOR him pointing out how ‘good’ he really is.
D’s will can him in nano second.
Mine too. Want to rub it in with Bill nelson
I do when Publix does 2 for 1
IIRC, Ben & Jerry’s is owned now by Unilever. And Unilever gets up to a lot of mischief.
Worthless waste, YUCK!
I'm 100% for it.
Go forward gentlemen and save common sense Americans any further hassle by making yourselves irrelevant.
I am also backing Ellison to head the Democrat Party. As long as they have people like him as the voice of the party, they will continue to lose power.
Ellison, should he become DNC chairman, will help to insure the destruction of the Dem. Party.
So...go Ellison!
And in other news, Ben & Jerry’s is changing the name of their “Everything But The . . . .” ice cream flavor to “Everything But the Jews”
Frozen party head.....what flavor?
These nitwits also support cop killer Mumia Abu Jamal
Good grief, this is the best candidates the democrats have to offer? We are very lucky.
