Ben & Jerry's customers call for boycott after woke ice cream maker's July 4th message demanding the US return 'stolen indigenous land' starting with Mount Rushmore to the Lakota

Ice cream company Ben & Jerry's sparked outrage with a July 4th tweet calling for the United States to return 'stolen indigenous land' starting with giving Mount Rushmore back to the Lakota Sioux tribe.

The company, which was founded by longtime Bernie Sanders allies Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenwood but has since been sold to British multinational Unilever, tweeted the message to its 494,000 followers.

'This 4th of July, it's high time we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it,' the company's official account wrote.

Outrage was swift on social media following the tweet, with many disgusted by what they saw as anti-American sentiment on a day meant to celebrate the United States.

One commenter compared their statement to Bud Light partnering with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney - which saw the beer giant lose upwards of $20million in sales after causing massive controversy - and using the hashtag #boycottbenandjerrys.

Why the Sioux? They “stole” the land from tribes that were there before them.

A lot of the land was purchased. Complaints should be addressed to those we bought it from.

Since when have socialists been against the confiscation and redistribution of private property?

Häagen-Dazs Butter Pecan is THE BEST and I really hope they keep their mouths shut about politics.

“We are also proud Jews. “>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

No they are not Jews.

They are Bolsheviks.They mean to destroy America by converting our country to socialism and communism.

The Jews are exemplified in America by the Hasidim who are Jews by their conduct and spiritual path. They live by the wisdom o f God,which preserves freedom of the individual as set out in the Bill of Rights of the US Constitution.

THE Bolsheviks who immigrated to the US from Russia are hardly Jews, they are Communists with a materialist outlook far from Judaism.Their God is Karl Marx.They came from a diaspora out of Russia and Ukraine and conducted the Stalinist purges killing millions. And were forced to leave in the aftermath.

Take a look at Bolsheviks Chuck Schumer , Adam Schiff,Jerry Nadler and compare their politics to that of genuine Jew
Benjamin Nethanyahu, who is himself plagued by the Bolsheviks in his own country, and has managed to beat them for now.

We are plagued by these Bolsheviks, they are NOT Jews.

Genuine Jewish People are registering at this site , and many supportr President Trump, something you will never see from these Bolsheviks who we need to rid from the US Body Politic.

“No they are not Jews.”

Unfortunately, they are nominally Jews, but an utter shanda for the goyim. Especially the way they use that as some sort of moral cudgel that only they can wield and only on the causes they favor, no matter how stupid.

Aren’t Ben & Jerry’s mansions on stolen land? They should give up everything they own?

Yeah really--these virtue signaling limousine liberals would have a little more credibility if they'd check their privilege by doing just that.

I still say they are not Jews, They are Commies. And they mean to destroy AMerica using Stalinist methods.

NOminal Jews? IN Judaism you are either Jewish or You are not.

I have a pinch Jewish blood, but I a not a Jew because I do not follow the tenants of Judaism.

THese so called Jews follow the tenants of Stalin.THat disqualifies them as Jews.

”The land was conquered.”

The Sioux took at least part of the Black Hills from the Crow and Arikara. Conquest is only a problem when the white guys do it.

Never was a fan of the hippie ice cream. There are plenty of local farms that make their own. Give me Roundtop any day.
