South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem laid into uber-woke ice cream brand Ben & Jerry's over the company's infamous July 4th tweet in which it called for Mount Rushmore to be returned to Native Americans.
Noem, a Republican, called the Ben & Jerry's bosses a 'bunch of liberal Vermont businessmen' who 'haven't studied our history' and think that they 'know everything about this country,' during an interview with Fox News on Thursday.
The governor went on to call Mount Rushmore 'the greatest symbol of our freedom.'
Since sending out the message on Tuesday, Unilever, which has owned Ben & Jerry's since 2000, has lost $2.6 billion in market capital. Those shares were down .5 percent on Wednesday and down 1 percent at the start of trading on Thursday.
At the time of writing, the company's market capital is down to $131 billion from $133.5 billion.
'We can learn from the men on that mountain. We can do better, but boy did they lead us through some challenging times,' Noem added in her Fox interview in an apparent reference to the face that adorn the monument, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.
'We should be proud of America and knock off what Ben & Jerry's is doing. They don't have any idea what they're doing,' the governor added.
Noem had been touted by some as a potential 2024 nominee for the Republican party having recently seen her state pass multiple populist right-wing bills including a ban on gender-affirming care for minors and sales tax cut.

The woke clowns deceive themselves into believing they are in the majority until they get a swift kick in their back financial pocketbook.
Ben and Jerry are BOTH New Yorkers...like Howard Dean and Bernie Sanders.
There was a list in another post. Let me go find it.
This YouTuber listed Benny and Jerry’s tweets.
I found a company worse than Bud Light
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AGXGD4JOm0
Found it. Dawn dish soap is only thing I’m familiar with.
Ben and Jerry should remember whose children stormed the beach in Normandy, fought in Europe and rescued people from the concentration camps. Their anti-Americanism takes a lot of gall.
Kristi, dear...Ben and Jerry are NEW YORK communists.
Look on the back of products and you will see a giant U then their name. It looks like this:
https://www.unilever.com/our-company/the-logo/
I’d post the photo but I don’t know how to post images anymore could someone here please do me the honors?
Ben & Jerry’s offer summer ice cream floats with Bud Lite what will go wrong.
Market cap means nothing unless sales decline. Drop in stock means investors believe that will happen. Should sales remain steady the stock will rise.
Yep, I haven’t bought any in many years. Sad thing is, the actual ice cream is very good, high in butter fat, low in air content (overrun), making it creamy and dense. I just buy Talenti Gelato or Haagen Dazs, but I think B & J is actually a little better quality.
Noem is gearing up for VP.
Now that they've been kicked in the balls I'm expecting them to lash out at Trump and MAGA. Trump should proudly take full credit for all damage to their brand.
any company that funds the LEFTIST legacy media is funding tyranny
the LEFTIST legacy media props up the corrupt deep state
all of the national name brands are funding the destruction of the Republic
stop funding them to save the Republic
