A public filing shows In-N-Out Burger, California's famous burger chain, donated $25,000 to the Republican party this past week. After journalist Gabe Schneider broke the news, some people immediately called for a boycott of the restaurants.
The Hill reports California Democratic Party chairman Eric Bauman was one of the first to voice his opinion. "Et tu In-N-Out?" he tweeted on Thursday. "Tens of thousands of dollars donated to the California Republican Party... it’s time to #BoycottInNOut - let Trump and his cronies support these creeps... perhaps animal style!"
According to Fortune, this isn't the first time In-N-Out has supported the GOP. They reportedly donated $30,000 to the chain last year, but they also gave $50,000 this calendar year to Californians for Jobs and a Strong Economy, an organization that's supported Democratic candidates in the past.
Plenty support Bauman's call for a boycott:

Their burger wrappers include a verse from the Bible - so yes, I’d expect their values would tend to lean more ‘conservative’ - than toward the God hating, America hating, Democrat side.
I can tell you that currently the IN-N-OUT in Santa Ana, with dual drive thru windows, has lines going around the corner..as usual
Boycotting a company for donating to one of two major political parties in the US is blatantly unamerican.
It shows disdain not only for their opinion but for their first amendment rights to free speech.
This is the Democratic Party - “Our way or die”
And the closest ones are side-by-side:
The In-N-Out places near me always have a long line of cars extending out into the street. Too crowded for me. I don't care much for their burgers but maybe I'll go and support them against a liberal boycott.
Yep. He brought that up.
Used to be that we would patronize a company based on the value they brought us. There are those that want us to patronize businesses based on their alignment with our own religious and political beliefs. My how times have changed.
He is a liberal weenie and racist, but I always thought that scene was pretty funny!
If the liberals knew that there is a Bible verse number printed on the bottom of the In N’ Out soda cups there heads would really explode. The liberals would not recognize it anyway.
Well, I can’t get to California, but I’m thinking about donating the price of an “InAndOut” burger to the company for supporting the GOP.
It’d be nice if conservatives everywhere did that, just to give the “Chick-Fil-A” treatment back at the nutty liberals and lefties.
Better still, build a few of those restaurants here in Georgia, I hear they’re really good, and I enjoy a good burger.
It just incenses liberals to see money go somewhere that they can’t get their grubby hands on.
If there is In-N-Out near you. go pay them a visit.
I don’t care much for their burgers but maybe I’ll go and support them against a liberal boycott.
It’s exactly what I did with Chick-fil-a. And I was obviously not the only one.
If I lived near an In-n-Out Burger outlet I would be eating several meals a day there. 8>)
They didn’t report that they gave more to a Democrat.
As long as they don’t merge with Five Guys. Five Guys In-N-Out would be tacky.
On Sunday evening we load up the van with grandchildren and head for Mass. Afterwards we go out to eat.
We tried McDonalds, Carls Jr., Taco Bell, and Long John Silver. Our experience was universal: They all use Sunday evenings to train their new people. The food and service was unbelievably awful. AND they hardly had any customers.
Then we went to In-N-Out. The place was PACKED, yet we were able to order quickly, the food arrived quickly, and everything was cooked correctly.
Good shakes, too!
The number of Lefties who will boycott, will be dwarfed by the number of people who will go out of their way to eat there in support.
The left is only boycotting because they know they can’t get away with killing them...yet.
We have both stores, side by side a couple miles from my house. Both are always busy (except Sunday, when C-F-A is closed). I do like how In-N-Out has a live person outside in the drive thru line to take your order when it's busy (again, pretty much always). The burgers are pretty darn good for fast food. Let the libs go eat at McDonalds...
