Wait a pancake-flippin minute, IHOP!
What just happened?!?
Based on a Tweet that’s gone viral, the breakfast-themed restaurant just slammed the heck out of millions of Hillary Clinton voters.
What did the chain say/do on social media to give this strong impression? And how is it trying to finagle its way out of this scandal?
Read on. Find out!
Good Morning… and Eff You!
Excuse us, IHOP? This controversy started after the chain’s official Twitter account very clearly re-Tweeted a message from someone who thinks Clinton fans need to shut up, get over their bitter feelings and pretty much try do their part to #MAGA.
Prepare for That Pink Slip!
As proven here (and in the messages below), this re-Tweet did not go unnoticed.
We Were Hacked!
Yes, IHOP used the old “We were hacked!” excuse. We’d love to meet the hacker who decided that it would be worthwhile to break into IHOP’s Twitter account, only to re-Tweet a single anti-Hillary message.
Can You Smell It, Twitterverse?
Smells like some prime BS, doesn’t it?
We Have So Many Questions
Or, really, just one question.
The Cover-Up is Always Worse Than the Crime
Someday, people may understand this.
Probably Saved Your Family a Bad Meal
We’re just sayin.
Really, This is the Most Likely Explanation for What Happened
Why not just say that, fire the employee and move on?

You’ve hit a new low, IHOP.
Things Are Turning Political
And hilarious!
IHOP Issued an Actual Statement to the Media in Response
Sigh. They could have handled this is much better fashion.
Apologize. Say You Let the Employee Go. Offer Free Pancakes for a Day.
BOOM! You’ve turned a PR disaster into a PR win. Must we do everything for you, IHOP?
