Ice Cream Magnates Ben & Jerry Promote Iran Nuclear
Deal
by Charlie Spiering 19 Aug 2015
Jerry Greenfield and Ben Cohen, the well known founders of Ben &
Jerry’s Ice Cream, have come out
in support of President Obama’s Iran nuclear deal.
In an email to MoveOn.org activists,
the pair encouraged fellow liberals to help campaign for the deal, encouraging
Democrats to support Obama.
“We’re writing today about keeping America out of another
war in the Middle
East,” they write in a message featuring their picture.
The pair has already publicly
endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) 16% for president in
2016 and even provided free ice
cream for one of his political events.
Although Cohen and Greenfield founded Ben and Jerry’s, they sold it to
British-Dutch corporation Unilver for $326 million in 2000.
“Lobbyists and billionaires plan to spend over $40 million
to stop the diplomatic deal with Iran—the one the Obama Administration
negotiated to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons,” they write in their
message. “That’s dangerous, because if too many Democrats listen to the flood
of hawkish, misinformation-ridden TV ads—and if they vote with Republicans—they
could override the president’s agreement in just about a month.”
Calling the agreement “the only peaceful way to keep Iran
from obtaining nuclear weapons,” the pair pledge a “donor strike,” promising
not to donate any money to Democrats who vote against the deal.
