A Washington state baker is apologizing for a politically charged Valentine’s Day cookie that generated an uproar on social media.
KING-TV reports that Ken Bellingham, who owns Edmonds Bakery, has gotten phone calls from frustrated customers about the heart-shaped cookie with “Build that Wall” in frosting letters. The wall refers to President Donald Trump’s signature campaign promise to build a southern-border wall.
The cookie was one of several decorated with messages.
Bellingham says the cookie was a joke and not meant as a political statement.
A woman, Ana Carrera, posted a photo of the cookie on Facebook, saying that as a person with Mexican heritage it felt personal.
Bellingham says someone taped a sign to the shop calling for a boycott.

Why should he be shut up for expressing political views? So what if you disagree with building a wall. I would still endorse a business regardless of whether the owner was for or against a wall, regardless which side of the fence (pun intended) I was on. That’s just my opinion.
Nancy palosi lives in a “gated community” i think its insensitive and therefore we need to ban palosi until she moves iut from that “gated” community!!
