An image surfaced online suggesting Republicans have betrayed everything they once stood for.

Apparently, there’s a Vegan BBQ stand at the RNC. Et tu, Republicans?

A reporter from NOTUS snapped a photo of the food stand and posted it on X. NOTUS is a cog in the media machine, and the reporter’s quip that the “RNC is going woke” is likely making fun of conservatives’ anti-woke furor. But he’s unironically got a point.

Who is this for? We see a cut-off sliver of the menu: a vegan BBQ brisket and an $18 Buddah burger.

Two of the items are papered over, presumably meaning they’re sold out. Maybe the red-hatted blonde woman at the front of the line got the last genetically engineered soyslop patty?

I’d like to talk about Big Vegan pandering, but apparently these things are selling like hotcakes (hold the butter, of course.)

This stuff is everywhere today. Go to any hole-in-the-wall bar, and you’re almost certain to see some sort of veggie burger, at least. Meatless chicken tenders, vegan pizzas and Impossible hot dogs are all fairly common as well. But this is the diet of a weak, sniveling left. Maybe it’s just for the press?

Can Republicans dutifully eat our Soylent Green and still have the power to restore traditional American values? The Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves as we eat our vegan brisket. The boys who stormed the beaches of Normandy would never touch a Buddha burger. No, we need a diet of high-protein whole foods if we are to have the energy to take back America.

I’m calling on the RNC to ban all vegan vendors for the rest of the convention. It’s steak and eggs for all.
