Wendy’s to Donate $500G in Support of Black Communities After Backlash

Wendy's is receiving backlash over a donation one of their CEO's made to Donald Trump's reelection campaign.

James Bodenstedt is the CEO of a company that franchises hundreds of Wendy's, Pizza Hut's and Taco Bell's.

He donated more than $440,000.

It started a trend on Twitter #WendysIsOverParty in an effort to "cancel" Wendy's.

Wendy's released a series of tweets, In the coming days we'll be using our Twitter account to amplify Black voices because what's the point of this big platform if we don't use it for what matters during times like these.

In their second tweet they wrote in part, our employees and customers have spoken loud and clear.

In their third tweet they wrote in part, our voice would be nothing without Black culture.

Wendy's will be donating $500,000 to show their commitment in supporting the Black community.

Is Wendy's "cancelled?"
