Well, that didn’t last long.
So the apology yesterday meant nothing. Noted. https://t.co/L1QbqcrFEL

Just a day after apologizing for alienating a huge chunk of his fan base by pledging half of “COVFEFE AF” hat profits to Planned Parenthood, the guy behind the wildly popular WeRateDogs Twitter account decided to respond to the latest Paris Climate Accord news:
This is Zoey. She really likes the planet. Would hate to see willful ignorance and the denial of fairly elemental science destroy it. 13/10 pic.twitter.com/T1xlgaPujm

If this is how he’s decided to reach out to a wider audience, he’s doing it wrong.
didn’t you just say you weren’t going to be political anymore?
— Amelia (@AmeliaHammy) June 1, 2017
That’s what it sounded like. Guess he changed his mind.
I see they deleted yesterday's statement and are going in a different direction. https://t.co/nCb1pcSA2Z

Noticeably different:
You really can't avoid the political commentary, can you? Stick to just commenting. on dogs

Stick to fucking off
— WeRateDogs™ (@dog_rates) June 1, 2017
Alrighty then.
don't apologize to the climate deniers too, please
— Melanie (@suchwowmanynice) June 1, 2017
I learned my lesson
— WeRateDogs™ (@dog_rates) June 1, 2017
Seems like he didn’t, though.
Not saying you shouldn't go political, that's your right, but it was really nice when this account wasn't political.

why you gotta be political when all I wanna see is some cute dogs.

Really enjoyed @dog_rates. Sad to see your decision to start politicizing pupper posts. Your page. Your choice. Really sorry to unfollow.

Business 101 : alienating 1/2 your market = not good for business. Thought you handled the ppact thing well, but must have been a fluke. Bye

Can we please just have one safe happy place without all the political hatred and divisiveness. You were doing such a good thing.

Disappointed that this fun escape of an account has to be political now too

I learned a lesson yesterday. Saving my "brand" has never crossed my mind. That's my account & those are my thoughts *kisses middle finger*
