Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield have always been communist sympathizers like their idol Bernie Sanders. So their pathetic July 4th bashing American being on stolen land wasn’t exactly much a surprise. They have Bud Lighted themselves a ton of times in the past with no consequences. But something is different this time. Communists Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield sold out their crappy ice cream corproation to Europe company Unilever back in 2000, but they are still the faces of the crappy ice cream. Since bashing America on the 4th of July, Unilever market cap is down about $2.5 billion, as hopefully it’s just the start of this companies’ crushing Bud Light like crash.
Ben & Jerry’s parent company has lost roughly $2.5 billion in market cap amid calls to boycott the Vermont-based ice cream maker over a July 4 tweet condemning the US for existing on “stolen Indigenous land.”
Shares of Unilever, the Anglo-Dutch multinational firm, slid as much as 1% at Thursday’s opening bell after closing down .5% the previous day.
The company’s stock price has fallen to roughly $51 after closing at $52.28 during Monday’s shortened trading — and the day before Ben & Jerry’s posted its unpatriotic tweet.
The result has seen its market cap drop to $131 billion from the roughly $133.5 billion on Monday.
Ben & Jerry’s, which was acquired by Unilever but whose board remains independent in voicing its views on political issues, said the July 4 celebrations can “distract from an essential truth about this nation’s birth.”
