‘Build that Wall’ Cookie Maker Not Sorry
February 4, 2019 2:36PM CST
- A Washington baker is ‘not sorry’ for decorating a ‘build that wall’ valentine’s cookie saying that “people should lighten up.”
- “Am I supposed to be quiet because I can’t write what I want, or I can only write what they want or makes them happy?” baker Ken Bellingham said in a statement to KOMO who reports the baker was ‘unapologizing’ for the incident.
- Bellingham’s statment went on to say those who disagree “can write whatever they want on their own cookie.”
- The cookie, singular, started out as one of many Bellingham keeps in a display case that feature other ‘risque’ phrases. Something he does to be funny.
- Since the backlash, however, Bellingham has started producing ‘build that wall’ cookies for purchase and he says his Edmonds Bakery has been inundated with business.
- But the real kicker is that Bellingham says he doesn’t necessarily support building a wall along the US-Mexico border.
- Do you think people have become way too triggered? What do you think about the unintended consequence of the backlash providing more business for the bakery?
