Papa John's pizza has a new customer, the alt-right.
In the days following a rant by Papa John's CEO and Louisville resident John Schnatter where he blamed the NFL and anthem protests for low sales, a white-supremacist publication claimed it as their official pizza.
In a blog post at the Daily Stormer, a photo of pizza with pepperonis arranged in a swastika has a caption that reads "Papa John: Official pizza of the alt-right?"
"This might be the first time ever in modern history that a major institution is going to be completely destroyed explicitly because of public outrage over their anti-White agenda," Daily Stormer writer Adrian Sol said, describing the backlash against the NFL.
Peter Collins, the senior director of public relations at Papa Johns, said the company was taken off-guard by the endorsement.
We condemn racism in all forms and any and all hate groups that support it," Collins told Courier Journal. "We do not want these individuals or groups to buy our pizza.

of shitty corporate employers...there's that... or maybe the official pizza of the Gopers that want to take your health care away...I can come up with more if I sit and think about it. John Schnatter is such a d-bag that the possibilities are endless.

and nasty garlic dipping sauce. Most any local independent pizzeria is better
Oh well, if the RWers get tired of Chick Fil A they can have their official alt-right pizza.

I eat at a chain all the time and it has 99% less Nazis and at least 50% more philanthropy.
