Ice Cream Meltdown
Ben and Jerry, the co-founders of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, came out in support of the Iran nuclear deal on Wednesday in an email to MoveOn.org activists, encouraging members to sign a petition supporting a donor strike - a pledge not to donate money to Democrats who are working to encourage the failure of the vote on the deal in Congress.The ice cream moguls stated that Democrats working against the deal, which is a victory for American national security, are going to lead the United States to revisit an Iraq-like war.
The pair claim that this deal is “the only peaceful way to keep Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons,” and have signed the petition "not to contribute a dime to any Democrats who put us on a path to war."

They may know how to make ice cream, but they don't have any clue about the real world outside of Vermont. Joe Smiga
Indeed, they make some really great cream!
If they were smart business folks, they'd avoid political stances that potentially alienate ice cream eaters like us.
