During a weekend podcast, Charlie Kirk called on Conservatives to boycott Burger King over their treatment of accused sexual predator Russell Brand.
Comedian Russell Brand has been supporting right-wing causes for years and has earned the respect of Conservative Americans. After a recent report accusing Brand of numerous incidents of sexual misconduct, many companies looked to cut ties with the comedian. Those in the right-wing media chamber are defending the British personality.
Charlie Kirk is among them. Over the weekend, the Turning Point USA founder tweeted:
"Burger King has pulled its ads from Rumble because the free speech platform refuses to play judge, jury, and executioner of Russell Brand after the UK Governor demanded the platform demonetize him. Reminder, Brand has not been convicted of a single crime. Boycott @BurgerKing. They hate free speech and due process, and their food is poison anyways. Stop eating it."
Responding to a comment on his post, Kirk continued, "Yeah I know no one who eats it. Fast food companies prey on the poor, pumping them full of empty calories that are slowly killing them. America would be better off without Burger King. All the more reason to bankrupt them."
Conservatives have been quick to threaten boycotts for several years with mixed results. It is unlikely that Kirk's calls will have much of an impact on Burger King's bottom line.
