State Sen. Phil Williams appeared on Fox & Friends Tuesday morning to discuss his now-viral tweet inviting the California hamburger chain In & Out to Alabama.
California democrats threatened to boycott the chain when it was discovered the company’s CEO donated to the Republican Party. Williams tweeted “Hey #InNOutBurger c’mon to Alabama! We love burgers, and we love #Republicans! #alpolitics”
That tweet went viral and caught the attention of Fox News. Watch Williams appearance on the show below.
