Democratic Congressman: ‘Say No to Oreo’

Democratic Congressman Says ‘Say No to Oreo’ (The Free Beacon)

A Pennsylvania Democrat denounced the manufacturer of Oreo cookies on the House floor Thursday for closing a plant in his district, standing next to a sign saying “Say No To Oreo” and repeating the phrase himself to close his statement.

Representative Brendan F. Boyle of Pennsylvania, a Democrat, lambasted Mondelez, the makers of the chocolate cookie and its cream filling, on Thursday for closing a plant in his home district and laying off 300 workers.

“The company that makes Oreo cookies and Ritz Crackers, two very well-known American brands, decided that for the first time in 60 years they would close their legendary Philadelphia plant in the heart of my district,” he said, while standing next to a “Say No to Oreo” placard that featured two cookies with a red line across them.
