Ben & Jerry’s has called on the US to give back “stolen Indigenous land” including Mount Rushmore — and now a Native American chief in Vermont said he’d like to talk about the land that’s under the ice cream maker’s headquarters.
The “Chunky Monkey” maker — which previously has waded into controversies around Israel and Palestine — divided customers this week with a July 4 tweet that said: “The United States was founded on stolen indigenous land. This Fourth of July, let’s commit to returning it.”
Ben & Jerry’s added that the US should “start with Mount Rushmore,” writing, “The faces on Mount Rushmore are the faces of men who actively worked to destroy Indigenous cultures and ways of life.” On Friday, Don Stevens — chief of the Nulhegan Band of The Coosuk Abenaki Nation, one of four tribes descended from the Abenaki that are recognized in Vermont — told The Post in an interview that he “looks forward to any kind of correspondence with the brand to see how they can better benefit Indigenous people.”

Whoops! Liberals always want to start with other people’s money, land, lifestyle, rights. I hate to say it, but Ben & Jerry’s may be facing a rocky road from this point forward.
Bahahahahahahahahahaha
That’s hilarious these brain dead libtards preach down to others after they stole Indian land
What a couple of turds
Walmart’s $2.57 flavors in 48oz cartons are just fine for me.
There is always the question of who the injuns conquered to get the said land...
Like looking into a mirror that is reflected in a mirror that is reflected by a mirror, etc... etc...
Vermont is a tiny Communist country, all to itself. Build a wall around Vermont.
The company I am working for has its corporate hq on tribal lands in AZ. I guess the company pays the tribe money , and they are ok with us, as long as we don’t move our chemical labs out here.
Payback is a female dog.
Give them both guns and whiskey and let God sort it out.
What are you getting at? What’s the scoop? I don’t understand either your primary or secondairy pints!
Chunky Monkey sounds like ice cream with monkey turds in it
When I was a young man such an incident would be handled thusly...
You let your mouth overload your a**, didn't you.
Palefaces hoisted by their own petard.
Well Ben and Jerry, you shot off your mouths now pony up and give back your headquarters.
“Well Ben and Jerry, you shot off your mouths now pony up and give back your headquarters.”
But...but... but...
that’s different!
🙋I take offense to your comment . Its obvious you know nothing about Vermont.
You only see & hear what you want to.
There are very,very many upstanding, hardworking citizens here who dont run all over town and run their collective mouths about their conservative views
and values.
Its a unique state. Its not like anywhere else and has a small population.
Because of the small population we have the privilege of having Town Meeting Days with diverse opinions.
Life in Vermont is great🌞👍
Always is. I’m betting we don’t hear another peep from them.
These are the people who said there was no safe limit for dioxin and wanted to shut down the U.S. economy - while they were quietly selling ice cream with dioxin in it.
That little crusade of theirs seems to have gone away.
It’s mirrors, all the way down.
We just got back from Walmart. I consider myself a connoisseur of inexpensive ice cream/milk. The Walmart “Great Value” Cookie Dough ice cream is much better in my opinion than the Kroger “Deluxe”. But it makes a big difference if your freezer is either too cold or too warm.
As far as I am concerned, while Ben and Jerry's, or Haugen Daz are typically a little tastier, they cost several times as much and leave an oily film in the back of your mouth because they are so rich and high in fat.
