As Twitchy told you, earlier this week, Ben & Jerry’s announced a new anti-Trump ice cream flavor, “Pecan Resist,” in partnership with such luminaries as the Women’s March.
This tweeter was one of many who pointed out the legitimately problematic nature of Ben & Jerry’s relationship with the Women’s March, and, by extension, Linda Sarsour:

Interesting. Thanks for the reply.

Hope that you’ll help get the word out. While it seems like a cool concept to some, this ice cream is tainted with hate. ?

Hard to argue with that assessment. But Ben & Jerry’s is trying anyway:
Thanks for the feedback. We may not agree on everything, but the work that Linda has done to promote women’s rights is undeniably important and we are proud to join her in that effort.

Yeah, who cares that she espouses vicious anti-Semitism, not to mention fiery hatred of women like Ayaan Hirsi Ali? She’s anti-Trump and that’s all that matters.
“Women’s Rights”? “Proud to join her”? Wow.

Yeah. "undeniably important" the work Linda Sarsour has done to "promote women's rights."

Anti-Semitism is just a mild disagreement https://t.co/Yks1DlHZQp

A little anti-Semitism here and there is just fine so long as she registers some people to vote, I guess? https://t.co/kEHmjW744W

Sharia law, female genital mutilation, and anti-semitism are pro female rights? Who knew? What's next? Synagogue Shooter Sherbet?

Tastes like a big mistake.
Should have known something was up when Ben & Jerry's debuted "Pepe's Pistachio: (((You))) will love it."

But seriously. Ben & Jerry’s, you’re pathetic.
COME THE HELL ON GUYS.

Gross.

You’re disgraceful

I would say that your support of Linda Sarsour in any way disqualifies you from ever being eaten by me or my family. So thanks for that at least. I know now we can say the hell with Ben and Jerry's.
For shame.
