Chip and Joanna Gaines are no strangers to the Twitter mob. Not only has the couple been criticized for their faith, they are now being targeted for donating to Shannon Braun’s campaign for the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District (GCISD) School Board in Texas. The Gaines’ donated $1,000 to Braun, who is running on a platform focused on removing critical race theory from schools.
The Gaines are hard-working entrepreneurs and the loving parents of five. Their home goods, food and construction company Magnolia was founded in Waco, Texas in 2003. Since then they have only grown in popularity, along with their show on HGTV, Fixer Upper. Viewers and consumers love the couple, but they draw more than their share of hate, predominantly from left-wingers who despise their unashamedly Christian and traditional American values.
