Land O'Lakes is facing calls for a boycott because of its donation to Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, who’s been criticized for refusing to delete a retweet of a Nazi sympathizer — and for endorsing a far-right Toronto mayoral candidate.
The dairy company in June gave $2,500 to King's campaign, Federal Election Commission records show.
The donation was condemned by liberals, including former presidential candidate Howard Dean. Former ThinkProgress editor in chief Judd Legum tweeted about it, as well as TV host Soledad O’Brien, who called the organization's donations to King "appalling."
Fast Company reported that Intel, another company that donated to King, has dropped its support for his campaign.
Land O’Lakes’s press representative did not immediately comment on the Twitter furor, first reported by The Washington Post.
