"Senator Lee Boycotts Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Over July 4 Tweet"

TL;DR Summary
Utah Senator Mike Lee has vowed to never eat Ben & Jerry's ice cream again after the company tweeted on July 4th, calling for the return of land to the Sioux Nation. The tweet linked to a blog post discussing the history of Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills, urging support for the "Land Back movement." Senator Lee criticized the call to action and questioned the implications of returning land, suggesting it would involve expunging property rights or repatriating Americans to Europe. He endorsed Utah-based Brooker's Ice Cream as an alternative. Ben & Jerry's has a history of using its platform for various social campaigns.
