Dunkin’ Donuts Faces Boycott Over Alleged Right-Wing Discrimination.
A major controversy is brewing for Dunkin’ Donuts as supporters of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement have called for a boycott of the popular coffee chain. The uproar stems from recent accusations that Dunkin’ refused to collaborate with an influencer due to his right-wing connections, according to a Yahoo News report.
Why Is Dunkin’ Donuts Facing a Boycott?
The backlash against Dunkin’ Donuts began after claims surfaced that the company allegedly denied working with an influencer because of his conservative affiliations. This has sparked outrage among conservatives and MAGA supporters, who view the decision as discriminatory.
The controversy escalated when Chris Pavlovski, CEO of the video-sharing platform Rumble, alleged that Dunkin’ Donuts pressured them to drop Steven Crowder, a right-wing commentator, as a show host. Pavlovski claimed that Dunkin’ also urged Rumble to distance itself from “right-wing culture,” raising further concerns among conservative circles.
Emails reportedly revealed that Dunkin’ Donuts expressed reluctance to associate with Rumble, citing concerns that the platform’s content was “too polarizing” and could harm the brand’s image.
Rumble Supporters Rally Against Dunkin’
In response to Dunkin’ Donuts’ refusal to engage with Rumble, many of the platform’s supporters have voiced their discontent and are organizing a boycott against the coffee chain. They accuse Dunkin’ of promoting discriminatory practices by refusing to appear on Rumble.
Despite the growing calls for a boycott, Dunkin’ Donuts has not issued any official statements regarding the accusations circulating on social media. The company has also remained silent on Pavlovski’s comments on the social media platform X.
As the situation unfolds, the potential impact on Dunkin’ Donuts remains to be seen, but the controversy has certainly stirred up strong emotions on both sides.
