Back in 2012, the current White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany sent out a Tweet suggesting that Domino’s had the best pizza in New York City.
FUN FACT: @dominos is wayyyy better than any NYC pizza

Fast forward to 8 years later, and a political consultant named Rick Wilson (who hates Donald Trump – fair enough) dug up Domino’s response to Kayleigh where they thanked her for the compliment, and then tried to start a massive backlash to have Domino’s ‘cancelled’ over it:
You just killed your brand. #ETTD https://t.co/NdGee87xvH

Um, did they Rick? Did Domino’s really ‘kill their brand’ because they Tweeted ‘thank you’ at Trump’s press secretary back in 2012 when nobody knew who she was? Seems like just a little bit of a stretch.
As is usually the case with these spineless companies, Domino’s Tweeted a full apology. JUST KIDDING – they responded by basically saying they have zero time for this cancel culture nonsense:
Welp. It’s unfortunate that thanking a customer for a compliment back in 2012 would be viewed as political. Guess that’s 2020 for ya.

Great stuff from Domino’s and it looks like people are loving the response from a company that refuses to bend over for the outrage brigade. No apology, no snarky clap back, just a Tweet basically saying “we couldn’t care less”. Don’t you dare involve Domino’s and their delicious pizza with your political BS ever again.
P.S. Just wait till the Twitter mob gets a load of this old Domino’s advert:
Lol.
