The idiot who sent that needs to be fired and the company needs to apologize and convince the public its not the corporate position, or they are going to suffer finacially.

They have pinpointed a minority employee who supposedly hacked the account. The tweet was deleted and the apologized.

It did not sound professional and I’m believing them. They had nothing to gain by tweeting that.

Problem for McD’s is that they’ve been going against the people who have the same values as President Trump for years. We’re not even close to their target demographics.

They better get in the damage control mode ASAP.

Oh, Please!

Freepers, stop with the ‘virtue signalling’ !

“I never eat at McDonalds!”
“I never shop at Walmart!”
“I never watch **** sport!”

This Tweet was obviously either a hack or a disgruntled (soon-to-be-former) employee.

Very few people in corporate management, let alone of a business that depends on the goodwill of ‘flyover’ country, would post something like that.

Think, people, think!

Insanity Is The New Sanity.

At least for libtards.

McD’s better hope they can make it financially without the half of the potential customer base they just drove off.

Provide link they apologized. All they’ve said is Twitter compromised and they are investigating. No distancing from actual comments or clarifying they are apolitical. You think if the tweet dropped an N bomb they wouldn’t apologize and clarify no matter if they were hacked?

I don’t disagree that this is a result of a hack, but the fact that it was done so easily concerning to anyone but me?

See post 70 (I think). Twitter notified McD's that their account was hacked and they put out a statement. Forbes, Justin Beiber, and hundreds of other accounts were hacked this morn.

And thank gawd! I don't know if I could go through with a boycott of McD's breakfast.

THIS shows the degree which PC has taken over for THINKING. These asses feel they are on the side of the angels and CANNOT see any other possibility.

And I like their big mac.

Let’s face it, there is nothing to gain for a huge corporation to do that.

And the wording was infantile.

Millennial snowflake at the twitter field helm. Hopefully they’ve been sacked. McDonalds still is not great, regardless.

They need to look at Target’s stock price before they introduce bathroom politics.

I wonder if the account was hacked by a disgruntled a$$hole employee.

Maybe this one:

"Former Obama press secretary Robert Gibbs is the executive vice
president and global chief communications officer at McDonald's."

There is no reason for a huge corp to do that. initially, I was furious and said so. But if your account was hacked, even your account here, I would prefer to believe you, not the hacker.

While I would ordinarily agree with you that this smells of hacking I can’t get over how absolutely clumsy the left has gotten in their bitterness.

There is a difference between a bully and a warrior. Leftists are bullies, which is why when their first intimidation fails, they have to "improvise" the second, or they run away, or fall into a heap of tears.

The problem for them is that, since Reagan, we haven't been led by a warrior, until now, so the first intimidations have always succeeded, and are still causing angst in the ranks of the GOP establishment. The more we are able to remove the establishment players over the next few years, the more successful Trump's agenda will become.
