WFB: Rep. Keith Ellison (D., Minn.) took aim at the world’s largest restaurant chain in a Wednesday interview, labeling McDonald’s a “bad actor” and falsely accusing it of both “clear-cutting forests so they can graze more cattle” and paying its CEO $9,000 an hour.
Ellison’s interview with Truthout, part of its “Interviews for Resistance” series, grabbed headlines for the Democratic National Committee vice chairman’s statement that “maximum wage” laws should be established, a policy claim his interviewer Sarah Jaffe initially thought was a joke.
“No, I didn’t make a joke about maximum wage, I made a statement about maximum wage,” Ellison said before taking aim at McDonald’s.
“The CEO of McDonald’s makes $9,000 an hour and they’re fighting people getting $15 an hour,” Ellison said. “These people, not only are they screwing over workers, they’re screwing over the environment. They’re clear-cutting forests so they can graze more cattle, and we all know that beef production is extremely abusive on the environment. They’re bad actors, you know?” more
mohammedans… is there ANYTHING so wrong with them, that a good CATAPULT can’t fix? 😉
The left hates self sufficient cowboys and girls. If those black angus weren’t grazing the plains, other critters would be, I.e. mule deer, antelope, bison. The herds provides much needed fertilizer for the wild prairie grasses. People on the coasts think they are so smart they really just repeatedly expose their ignorance.
“clear-cutting forests so they can graze more cattle”
ellison, what an idiot !
there hasn’t been any “cattle” in mcdonalds food for years.
will someone get this FN mUSLIM out of the united states…….
Blacks have a native land. It is called “Africa.”
How about a return?
Lincoln had it right the first time.
Just sayin’.
As a retired over the road trucker I drove for a family owned meat packing company in El Paso, TX (around 1980) that bought cattle from Mexico, slaughtered and packaged that beef in El Paso and then shipped it to Golden State Foods in Atlanta, GA. Golden state was (at the time) McDonald’s primary source of everything they needed to stay in business in the Atlanta area (and nation wide) including everything from beef to napkins. BTW… some of those cows I saw could barely stand on their own four legs!
I also picked up boxed frozen meat at the docks in L.A. that was shipped from Australia and went straight to Golden State. Don’t know what was in those boxes but they were labeled ‘Frozen Beef’.
Then I learned through my drag racing experiences that the largest grower of potatoes in America (Larry Minor) supplied both the U.S Army and McDonald’s. Man, that’s a lot of potatoes, no?
It’s been my experience that McDonald’s never grew a potato or raised a single cow. This musleem is a nut but is a classic example of the leadership of the democrat party.
Hunh. I thought Robert Gibbs and CEO Steve Easterbrook were going to make McD’s the very model of progressivism. Time to introduce the Halal Meal, boys. That’ll mollify Imam Ellison.
And he criticized the republicans for their conspiracy theories on Obama’s origins?
Chill man the McRib is also not real.
She, wait what is it’s preferred pronoun?
Has been in office long enough, should
have a couple cash cows going for herself
by now.
Where does he think his fried chicken comes from?
Ellison has muslim spongiform encephalopathy,
also known as mad goat disease.
How much per hour is that hateful clown getting paid?
I’m totally disgusted with anyone who voted for this kind of pox on our country.
I live in the heart of “cow country” (South Central Missouri) and where I buy steaks, &c., there’s a sign claiming that beef can come from mexico and/or canada.
No explanation why we don’t get MO cattle.
Keith Ellison’s a stooge – a stooge of nihilistic totalitarianism – a stooge of izlam – and a stooge of the DC power elite. He will mouth any imbecility he’s told, as long as he gets paid.
izlamo delenda est …
Please don’t tell me anything bad about my beloved sausage McGriddle!!!!!!
Since Ellison did not have the cover of making these statements in the Congressional chamber, can’t McDonalds sue him for libel?
good ques Tony
Yeah I think if I were in McD’s position, I’d sue. Remember what 0prah did to the beef industry and then she got sued over it? They should have destroyed her.
The real crime is paying Keith Ellison anything more than $1.25 an hour…
And here I thought all them MN forests were getting clear-cut so they could farm corn that gets turned into ethanol for cars. At a high congressional subsidy.
