California Governor Gavin Newsom has been mocking Donald Trump’s penchant for using social media to amplify cultural debates, much to the outrage of several influential conservative figures. Now, Governor Newsom has decided to take his satire even further by taking credit for things that only tangentially involve him, such as the Cracker Barrel logo change fiasco.
Cracker Barrel recently changed its logo to a bland, and admittedly uninspired, version of its old design. Nearly everyone who felt compelled to comment on the situation suggested that the company should revert to its original logo. But conservative figures, including Donald Trump and his son, took matters further and claimed the change was made to appeal to “woke” sensibilities. The unfavorable press coverage led to a significant stock drop, prompting the company to return to its old logo.
