Seriously.
Either Ronald McDonald has some serious beef with the #MAGA crowd, someone on the @McDonaldsCorp Twitter team went rogue, or the McDonald's corporate account was hacked.
As The Hill noted, former Obama press secretary Robert Gibbs happens to be the executive vice president and global chief communications officer at McDonald's.MUNCHIES has reached out to McDonald's for comment, but has yet to hear back.
The post, which was originally pinned to the top of the account's Twitter feed, has since been deleted. @McDonaldsCorp has not commented on the tweet and has continued to respond to customer service tweets directed at the account. Meanwhile, Twitter has pretty much erupted into a frenzy of speculation, jubilation, and rage.
