Tarlov: Ben & Jerry’s 4th of July Statement Is What the First Amendment Is All About

EXCERPT:

TARLOV: "This is the thing that they do. It’s not surprising. Everyone who eats Ben & Jerry's, who knows about this, has said that they don’t care. Most people don’t know about this story, I think, and it wouldn’t really affect them. But this is also what the First Amendment is all about. We had this conversation around Colin Kaepernick taking the knee, and there were tons of veterans organizations who said, 'We support his right to do this. We go overseas and we shed blood to make sure that you have the rights at home to say whatever you want about your country, your government, and whatever it is.' And Ben & Jerry’s has made it through lots of statements like this, their support for the BDS movement, which I find completely appalling. It’s not going to change who is taking Chubby Hubby — that wasn’t about an actual husband. It was just a flavor that I ended up picking."
