How would you explain the repeal of Net Neutrality? We did it with the Whopper. Watch the video below: pic.twitter.com/9EWjtbenv8

Ouch. BK burned itself on their own attempt at political flame-broiling:

Was Burger King's account hacked, or did someone genuinely think promoting a false narrative on a contentious policy is smart business sense? https://t.co/6GjLJTOhDB

We’re not quite sure what they were thinking.

Please stay out of politics if you don’t want people to stay out of Burger King…btw trying to spin net neutrality as necessary is laughable as the internet worked just fine pre-neutrality. It only existed for a hot second anyway

I'd like to have it my way, @BurgerKing and my way is with cheese, all the way, hold the politics and the lectures. https://t.co/DyjC5R2rA1
