UGH. Ben & Jerry’s continues to disappoint. I may never eat Peanut Butter Fudge Core ever again. (Eh– I’m on a Magnum “crackable” kick anyway.)
Ben & Jerry’s just named an ice cream after radical leftist candidate Ammar Campa-Najjar.
“Ammar-etto American Dream”

The new flavor will be called “Ammar-etto American Dream,” referring to his background as a first-generation American, the son of a Palestinian father and Mexican-American mother. Recently, Campa-Najjar’s background has come under closer scrutiny. His paternal grandfather was a Palestinian terrorist leader, and though the candidate has denounced his grandfather’s actions, Campa-Najjar called him a “legend” and a “public servant” in 2015.
Yep. Nothing to see here. Nothing at all. His grandfather was totes a “legend” but also LOLZ SRY he was a terrorist.
PS– he gives and receives money from creeptastic radical Muslim groups, so there’s that.
Ben & Jerry’s named Campa-Najjar one of the seven “best progressive candidates,” adding: “We need a Democratic majority to check President Trump’s unrestrained power. And we also need to send progressive champions to Congress who will fight for health care as a human right, protect clean air and water, and get big money out of politics.”
“His platform also includes Medicare for All, passing a clean Dream Act, investing in renewable energy, and overturning Citizens United,” the company added.
Disappointing, but not surprising.
