“If there’s one thing I agree with Trump on,” Ben Cohen told me on the show.
*Record scratch*
Eh? Ben of Ben & Jerry’s agrees with Trump on an issue? The same Ben who made two exclusive flavors of his famous ice cream for Bernie Sanders’ White House bids? The same Ben who built peace and social justice, as he notes in our chat, into the very fabric of one of the world’s most popular brands?
Yep. There’s an item of agreement, even if Cohen is very clear-eyed and candid about the authoritarian moves by Trump, the damage being done across the nation and the need to stand up for American values and our Constitutional bedrock.
