The Soda CONTROVERSY! Conservative Creators BUSTED Trying To DESTROY RFK & Trump In BOMBSHELL Report
What would you believe if I told you that some of the very same influencers in the conservative space who were previously embroiled in “binder gate” and caught plagiarizing tweets, who also pushed out pre-written messages from the White House, have now been caught in a massive Federal Trade Commission scandal? They didn’t just fail to disclose, and also broke X’s terms of service, by shilling for big soda, they actively took money to promote big soda’s agenda to undermine the narrative that aims to make America healthy by limiting soda purchases with SNAP benefits.
This isn’t just about a simple promotional tweet, which, let’s be honest, happens. This is about being told, “hey, tweet this exact message” in exchange for money, and then failing to disclose that. Last week, it was hard to ignore when about half a dozen really big conservative influencers all tweeted out the exact same thing. You might have seen posts from figures like Clown World Eric, doy not Jerome Powell, Ian Miles Cheong, and Chad Prather – who, let’s be real, is a total fraud.
The wild part is, if you want to get paid to tweet, fine, just disclose it! Be willing to sell out, if that’s your choice, but the lack of disclosure in this situation is particularly outrageous because these individuals often positioned themselves as Pro-“Mega”. Nick Sorter and others deserve credit for exposing these individuals, and frankly, their credibility is in tatters. Don’t think deleting those tweets after getting caught absolves them – it doesn’t.
The company behind this, expose influenceable, reportedly cut big checks to these influencers on behalf of big soda. Over the past 48 hours, numerous supposedly “Mega”-aligned influencers posted nearly identical talking points fed directly to them. These talking points aimed to convince you that efforts to restrict soda purchases with food stamps were out of line. Some even disgustingly used President Trump’s name and his Diet Coke button as a manipulative tactic. Not a single one of them disclosed they were paid for these posts, leading people to believe these were their genuine opinions on a potential soda ban.
Let me be clear: if you do an undisclosed ad, I’m going to assume every tweet you make from now on is paid for. The sad truth is, many on X don’t seem to care. We saw a dozen of these losers tweeting things like, “the government wants to ban soda purchases for Americans on SNAP,” echoing the time New York City tried this and it completely backfired. They’d even throw in the “President Trump probably had a Diet Coke button” line, calling it ridiculous government overreach and demanding we “let the people decide for themselves”.
Now, let’s talk about the heart of this controversy: SNAP, which most of us remember as food stamps. There are two sides to this, and while some argue against controlling what people buy with food stamps, my stance is clear: why should taxpayer money be used for non-essential items like soda? Food stamps are meant to help people get by, and soda is a luxury, not a necessity. If you want a Mountain Dew, get a job.
While some have raised nuances, like the idea of military personnel or veterans on SNAP, and the human element of someone going through a tough time finding a small comfort in a soda, these are exceptions, not the rule. We, as taxpayers, contribute significantly, and why should our money go towards cupcakes and soda when it should be for essential items?.
The truly disturbing part is the report that up to 25% of Coca-Cola’s income comes from SNAP food stamps. I don’t believe that supporting food stamps for those who need them means we should fund their soda habits. Food stamps should cover protein, vegetables, fruit, rice – the essentials. Most people on food stamps also have some additional funds, so buying soda with their own money is an option if they choose. I’m not looking down on those who need assistance, but taxpayers have a right to question where their money is going. We see reports of lobster and shrimp being purchased with SNAP – this isn’t what the program is for. SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, should be focused on nutrition, and soda is the opposite of that; it’s junk food.
It’s alleged that big soda funded this influencer campaign, providing them with a guide titled “Soda bans and government overreach” and even an image of Trump with Diet Coke, telling them exactly what to say – and they did. These influencers, who claim to push back against government overreach and defend personal choice, conveniently ignored that SNAP is about supplemental nutrition. The way these influencers operate is becoming clear: cozy up to lobbying firms connected to soda companies and other massive corporations, who then pay handsomely to push their agenda.
Look at Chad Prather – he hasn’t even deleted his tweet, framing it as “Another War on soda: How bureaucratic overreach threatens Trump’s working class Coalition”. He’s literally creating a false narrative of a soda ban. Others like Ian Miles Cheong and Clown World Eric Doy (who later admitted it was “dumb” and a “massive egg on my face,” but still didn’t disclose it was an ad) also participated.
This lack of disclosure is unforgivable. Jenna Ellis was also among those who did this. Let me know what you think in the comments. This is a serious issue of trust and transparency, and these influencers have some serious explaining to do.
