Ben and Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen has a meltdown on Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. before being thrown out of the hearing room

… A pint of Ben & Jerry's Milk & Cookies ice cream has 1130 calories, 97 grams of sugar, 117 grams of carbs, and 67 grams of total fat.

Buffoon.

The man seems to have gone a bit erratic all of a sudden.
Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen tells Tucker Carlson: ‘I love Jesus’
From a week ago.
[JewishChronicle] Ben Cohen, the Jewish co-founder of ice cream brand Ben & Jerry’s who is known for supporting progressive causes, has told controversial conservative talk show host Tucker Carlson that he “loves Jesus” and that Israel is committing “genocide”.

Cohen, 73, whose parents were both Jewish, attracted media attention four years ago when he co-authored an op ed in the New York Times backing the ice cream maker's decision to stop selling its products in the West Bank.

Speaking to Carlson – who has been accused of platforming Holocaust revisionism – Cohen also questioned Israel’s influence over US foreign policy.

“In terms of a spiritual belief, I mean, I don’t practise a religion,” Cohen said. “I was born a Jew. I love Jesus Christ. I think the words that he said are wonderful, are amazing. And, you know, I’m kind of distressed that a lot of organised Christian religions are not really, I don’t know, abiding by the words of Jesus Christ

#1 Ben follows no religion but is concerned that Christians imperfectly follow Christ. If Tucker gives him more air time, I’m skipping that episode. Long form leftism is torturous.

#2 Should have been "thrown out" of the country.

Ben & Jerry’s has not been a Main Stream Voter, or Israel supporter since the early 2000's.


EG. "Ben & Jerry's decision was welcomed by Palestinian activists behind the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which calls for a complete boycott of Israel ...".

We have not purchased anything B&J since early 2000's. Like we do with any commercial firm that continues selling Politics over Customer Service and Product Quality. See, Food giant Unilever, B&J owners, supported political causes as an examples.

Get a half gallon of pistachio and chocolate every month. Their quarts costs the same as a pint of B&J

So he's not selling this stuff in the West Bank anymore? Sounds like they'll be a lot healthier without it.

#9 Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream is overpriced slop. There are other premium ice creams in any large market area that taste just as good and much, much more affordable.

#10 But Ben & Jerry's uses pure smug extract.

#11 I worked with Haagen-Dazs at Grand Met corporate. Snickering here because the pot head Ben and Ferries is a corn sugar ice cream.

Leftist selling schit food protesting at a MAHA hearing. Irony to the core.
