Twitter Goes Wild Over Racist Tweets From Buffalo Wild Wings: ‘Congrats to Roseanne on Her New Job!’
The Twitter account of Buffalo Wild Wings appears to have been hijacked by a racist.
Sung Min Kim screen-grabbed several tweets sent out by Buffalo Wild Wings, including one that used the N-word, before they were taken down.
