Wendy's, Fearing Boycott, Lies Online About Owner Peltz's Pro-Trump Ties

Nelson Peltz, Owner of Wendy's

Check This Out: Wendy’s Billionaire Owner Has Held Trump’s Priciest Fundraiser to Date

Farmworkers with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, students, and faith and community leaders held a five-day fast in front of hedge fund billionaire Nelson Peltz's offices to demand that Wendy's join the Fair Food Program and help end sexual violence in the fields. Peltz is Wendy's board chairman and largest shareholder.

Wendy's board chairman and larger shareholder hosted a giantic fundraiser for Trump recently, which led activists online to call to #BoycottWendys since they support Trump.

We refuse to spend money in a place that donates to Trump.

Other activists had already called for a boycott against Wendy's policies.

Wendy's responded to me directly online on Twitter and lied about their support for Trump:

The response occurred in real time from an official Wendy's account. They lied when they said this was "fake news" spread by a competitor. They told me to "do you research". I did and found out that the owner of Wendy's, Nelson Peltz, had just hosted an enormous fundraiser for Trump. He's given for years to right-wing causes. 

I used to like Wendy's, but I will never go there again.

Please join me in Boycotting Wendy's.
