Howard Dean is looking to punish Toyota because commercial whaling has returned to Japan:

Makes me a lot less likely to buy a Toyota. https://t.co/TQpRh50Vlx — Howard Dean (@GovHowardDean) July 3, 2019

Um, WTF?

Toyotas are made from whales? !-) — Tony Keyes (@tonykeyesjapan) July 3, 2019

Or maybe he thinks it would be a good idea for Japanese consumers to boycott Vermont products like Ben & Jerry’s if they don’t like America’s policies?

Does Toyota make the boats? Should Japanese consumers boycott Ben and Jerry’s to protest migrant detention? — The Bringer of Jollity (@davidabenner) July 3, 2019

And what about Toyotas made in America?

Keep in mind that many if not most Toyotas sold in the US are BUILT in the United States. — Virginia Lady (@VirginiaLady16) July 3, 2019

Howard Dean hates Kentucky!

Yes, whaling is awful. But Toyota? Seriously? Those cars are made in Kentucky, dude. Try again. — NothingOfWater (@nothingofwater) July 3, 2019

And all of the Midwest, really:

Even the ones built in the Midwest? — KZ AfterHours (@KZ_AfterHours) July 3, 2019
