| In-N-Out burger chain receives invitation from Alabama lawmaker |
| 2018-09-02 |
| [FOXNEWS] An Alabama state senator has invited the California-based In-N-Out hamburger chain to his state after some California Democrats called for a boycott of the chain over donations made to the state's GOP. State Sen. Phil Williams, a Republican from Rainbow City, Ala., tweeted his invitation Thursday night. "Hey #InNOutBurger c'mon to Alabama! We love burgers, and we love #Republicans! #alpolitics," Williams tweeted. Hey #InNOutBurger c'mon to Alabama! We love burgers, and we love #Republicans! #alpoliticshttps://t.co/DAruwg2uCh — Sen. Phil Williams (@SenPhilWilliams) August 31, 2018 In-N-Out reportedly donated $25,000 to the California Republican Party earlier this week, and the revelation has caused many who identify as Democrats — or just not Republican — to demand a boycott of the chain. "Tens of thousands of dollars donated to the California Republican Party ... it's time to #BoycottInNOut - let Trump and his cronies support these creeps... perhaps animal style!" Eric Bauman, chairman of the California Democratic Party, tweeted Thursday. Et tu In-N-Out? Tens of thousands of dollars donated to the California Republican Party... it’s time to #BoycottInNOut - let Trump and his cronies support these creeps... perhaps animal style!https://t.co/9zkdFaG5CJ — EricBauman (@EricBauman) August 30, 2018 This is not the first time In-N-Out has donated to the GOP. In 2016 and 2017, the company donated $30,000 to the Republican Party for general expenses, Los Angeles magazine reported. But the fast-food restaurant has also given thousands of dollars to support the Democratic PAC "Californians for Jobs and a Strong Economy," a pro-business group created by Democrat David Townsend in 2009. In-N-Out was founded in Baldwin Park, Calif., in 1948. Its headquarters is currently in Irvine, Calif. It operates restaurants in six states: California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Texas and Utah. |

| #4 In my town they are next to one another. Always both busy, except Sunday, when Chick-Fil-A is closed |

| #3 They could put them next to Chick-Fil-A's, thereby creating two adjacent traffic jams. Me, I'll stick with WhataBurger. |

| #2 Tens of thousands of dollars donated to the California Republican Party... it’s time to #BoycottInNOut Did SPLC proclaim the Republican Party a hate group, and we didn't notice? |
