Chilli’s Bar & Grill weighs in on NC election fraud allegations (Yes, you read that correctly)

They say culture is upstream of politics, but reasonably priced restaurant chains seems to be downstream of all of it. For some reason, maybe in recognition of the fact that people will all be talking about Chilli’s, their Twitter handler thought it wise to weigh in on election fraud storms raging in North Carolina’s 9th District.

“It’s a sentence that might perfectly sum up the state of politics in 2018: Chili’s Bar & Grill has weighed in on allegations of election fraud in a North Carolina Congressional race.

“Don’t repeat calls for rewarding election fraud and you can have the time of your life at your local Chili’s,” the company tweeted before adding a caveat that it had no intentions of getting political.”

‘We don’t mean to get political but…[proceeds to get political]’

Democratic candidate Dan McCready was quick to exploit what essentially amounted to a special election campaign endorsement:
