1. K&R for exposure. He needs those sacrificial workers in the meat-packing plants.

[Hekate]

2. Ew. Link, though?

5. Here:

The first fast-food franchisee to advise Trump on reopening restaurants has donated more than $400,000 to the president's reelection — including $200,000 in March

6. Thank you!

[Cha]

13. TY dalton.. I don't go to fast food joints but if I did..

that would be enough to make me stop at this point in history.

Damn him.. damn them.

[greenjar_01]

3. I mean, you shouldn't be eating at those places anyway

[Squidly]

4. Agreed

Just sayin...
😉

[Hermit-The-Prog]

7. Wouldn't eat at one of those places if I was starving -- they would kill for their money.

[Xolodno]

8. Bullshit.

Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut are owned by Yum Brands...and you haven't provided a link the CEO of YUM Brands donating.

Wendy's is still an independent company traded on the NASDAQ.

[Blue_playwright]

19. Yup. Franchisee.

[AllyCat]

30. We called them Kentacohuts in college because all 3 would be present in one building

[Duppers]

32. Yum Brands CEO donated his salary...

Yum! Brands announced Monday that CEO David Gibbs will forego his salary and donate the money in the form of bonuses for managers and to an employee relief fund.

Thanks, Xolodno!

9. he's not actually the CEO of those companies, but rather the CEO of a company that runs franchises

Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut are all owned by the same company (Yum! Brands). Wendy's is owned separately.

The guy who donated 400k is James Bodenstadt, who is the CEO of Muy Cos, which operates hundreds of franchises including Wendy's Pizza Huts, and Taco Bells.

[Duppers]

33. Yup, he's a "franchisee."

Bought franchises but is not part of the Yum Brands Corporation.

Thanks, fishwax.

[TreasonousBastard]

10. Been all over the news tonight, but he's only a big franchiser...

not corporate:

[Squidly]

11. Thanks for clearing that up

[diva77]

12. YUM brands has a PAC and they gave to Rethugs of Kentucky & McTurtle 2020

https://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/pac2pac.php?cmte=C00329474&cycle=2020

$14.5K to rethugs
$3.5K to Dems

[rockfordfile]

29. lets see if this yum ups the donating to Democrats

[Celerity]

14. here is a map of the franchises Muy! (the CEO of which donated to Rump) operates

https://muycompanies.com/locations/

go to the link for interactivity

[Roland99]

16. Seems to be in more conservative areas outside cities

Lexington and Cincinnati areas and NW of Atlanta, for example

[Celerity]

17. look at the NYC (Taco Bells), seems to also be outside the core areas

https://muytacos.com/locations/

[Midnight Writer]

21. Thank you. I appreciate this map. Saves me a bunch of looking up.

[Celerity]

22. yw

[yellowdogintexas]

28. Muy has no Taco Bells or Pizza Huts in Fort Worth but a couple of Wendy's

However I think this guy owns every Pizza Hut in Houston!!

[Roland99]

15. INCORRECT title. It's the CEO of a large franchisee (Muy Cos.)

Would be nice to know which franchises he runs

[Tipperary]

18. I never eat at any of those places.

Yuck.

[In It to Win It]

20. Their food is disgusting anyway

I don’t eat at any of those places

[Midnight Writer]

23. I love this thread. This is the difference between liberals and conservatives.

Here, a misleading headline is logically corrected, with additional information and details.

You leave here knowing more than when you walked in.

In Right Wing World, they snap at the headline like a hungry dog, and no amount of facts or information will dissuade them.

[quakerboy]

24. Misleading

The guy who donated the money is CEO of a company that owns a bunch of franchises of these restaurants. He is not the CEO of these brands, but of a second company that runs some of their locations, apparently all east of the rockies.

25. For those who work there (and who are under 18)......

Don't wait till you're 18. Get the hell out of that place while you're still young!! Not sure if CEO of McDonald's also donated to Trump's relection campaign...... I don't work at those places. Let' say if I work at Wendy's and I found out that the CEOs donated to Trump's campaign, I would rage hard and quit my job for good and go on strike!!

[yellowdogintexas]

26. We have two Wendy's near us. One is on the Muy map

but the other isn't

I have not eaten at a Wendy's for years but it is nice to know that we have some local ones that don't belong to him .

[smirkymonkey]

27. I never eat that garbage anyway.

But keep on clogging the arteries of all those Trump supporters! Including the big guy, himself. I'm all for it.

[donkeypoofed]

31. I will really miss Wendy's, but never going again!

I don't eat at those other places and never will now. We have to make these restaurants pay by not paying!

[mr_lebowski]

35. No reason to penalize Wendy's except the particular stores this asshat owns ...

Wendy's isn't even owned by the same corporation as the other three, either.

[mr_lebowski]

34. So, this clown's company is named Muy, eh?

How clever ... yum spelled backwards

[Baltimike]

36. The OP title should change. It is untrue as it stands. nt

[Squidly]

37. Done!

Thanks for the heads up!
