Pepsi Pushes Back Against Boycott Over Donation To Texas GOP

(Undated) — Pepsi is pushing back against boycott calls on social media because the company reportedly donated to Texas Republicans who supported the state’s pro-life law.

Popular Information, a left-leaning online news outlet, claims Pepsi gave 15-thousand-dollars to the Texas GOP in August 2021. Pepsi says it made the donation in August 2020, long before the law was enacted, and it was to support the costs of political conventions, not individual candidates’ campaigns.

The company also points out it donated $25,000 to the Democrats.
