Hipsters: Budding Republicans

2008 May 21

Urban Outfitters’ Billionaire a Wingnut in Progressive Clothing

“Shopping in Urban makes you feel like you are somewhere radically Left-wing, an antidote to the corporate blandness of The Gap. But Hayne is a stanch conservative who donates money to Republican politicians, not least Rick Santorum, a now failed Senator whose views on homosexuality are both bizarre and old-fashioned. Hayne doesn’t give many interviews precisely because he’s afraid that college slackers who get to know him will suddenly realise that buying his clothes is like giving cash to George Bush.”

Now will everyone please stop supporting this company already? I mean honestly.
