Why would you accuse FReepers of “virtue signalling”?

Some of us may actually BE virtuous, and apparently some of us may actually be trolls attempting to stop speech they disagree with by labeling it....

Robert Gibbs is the communications director at McDonald’s. I hit Twitter this morning raising hell about it; I found the twitter account to the group of McD franchisees in my area of the state and told them I would be letting everyone know about how they have lost my business for their behavior. Consider I live in TN so I expect it is registering with them since 65% of people here support Trump. They way you get back at them is thru their franchisees bc the Corp HQ listens to their concerns.

Twice I have stated he was right, there was NO APOLOGY.

Go pound sand, if stating twice, I was wrong is not good enough for you.

My guess is that Gibbs got drunk and let his feelings go. He probably has a personal twitter account and accidentally posted this on the corporate account.

That's actually the best explanation I've heard from anybody.

They (McDonald's) have filmed ads (and prepared foods) aimed almost exclusively at "Amish" epicureans for a couple decades now.

"We gut a Mac fuh dat!"

Feel me? LOL!

The founder, Ray Croc, was NOT an anti capitalist, not sure what you mean by "movie". He was an innovative businessman, and spread capitalism all over the world through McDonald's franchises. Read the bio, he was a great guy:

Is that just a campaign photo-op or did he really eat it?

Yeah but they hired former OBotulism Press Secretary Robert Gibbs as an executive! This move looks like something that this arrogant jerk would do.

Yeah I believe this was likely an inside job. The Left has been so unhinged they think everyone except the lowliest of life forms agree with them. McDonald’s needs to handle this better than they have so far.

The link does not exist. Deal with it.

I cannot provide a link to something that does not exist.

I told him he was right, and you’re not satisfied.

The suits at McDonalds are terrified of alienating minororities (as evidenced by all of their commercials in the last decade or so).

They’re about to discover that alienating everyone else has a much bigger effect on the bottom line.

I personally rarely have anything other than their coffee anymore.
I wasn’t a anti-Mcds neither.
More times than not i would eat at one of their joints and get the craps.
Different chains make no difference.
I have given them many more chances than they deserved.
This morning was the last time i eat their food.
Even now i have to use the can.

Reading thru the responses it's apparent many read the headline and responded ... read the article before going off half-cocked.
McDonalds was hacked ... by some Obama loving snowflake type ... no corporate entity is that stupid.
There are way to many 'deplorables' out there in fly over country that eat at McDonalds at least every now and then ... even Trump likes the occasional 'Big Mac'.

Yeah, I can’t imagine any CEO thinking that this, in any way, benefits shareholders - to whom they are accountable.

I think this has to be a hack. If, due to some strange mental episode, was in fact done by the corp leadership deliberately it’s just suicide.

They certainly can’t let this go if it’s a hack, they need to respond immediately.
