[CA Dem Party chair Bauman] Et tu In-N-Out? 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!

In an August 30 statement to SF's KPIX-TV, In-N-Out Burger Exec. VP Arnie Wensinger responded:

[In-N-Out VP Wensinger] In 2018, In-N-Out Burger has made equal contributions to both Democratic and Republican Political Action Committees in the State of California. For years, In-N-Out Burger has supported lawmakers who, regardless of political affiliation, promote policies that strengthen California and allow us to continue operating with the values of providing strong pay and great benefits for our Associates.

It is actually far more important to In-N-Out and our Foundations to support our communities by contributing millions of dollars to hundreds of organizations in California to prevent child abuse, human trafficking and substance addiction.

We have been fortunate to do business in this great state for almost 70 years. While it is unfortunate that our contributions to support both political parties in California has caused concern with some groups, we believe that bipartisan support is a fair and consistent approach that best serves the interests of our company and all of our Customers.

Arnie Wensinger, Executive Vice President
In-N-Out Burger

So...will the CA Dem Party chair's stance cause you to vote with your pocketbook (pro or con)? And will you be more or less inclined to vote to elect/advance to higher office a LB elected official if he/she publicly supports the boycott?
