Starbucks gave a donation to the RNC, which means they support the crazy ideas of MAGA.

Starbucks is not sponsoring the RNC in this way, but rather supporting the first responders at RNC venues. Starbucks provided coffee and other beverages to first responders through a partnership with the Milwaukee 2024 Host Committee. The company also had a similar partnership with the Chicago 2024 Host Committee for the DNC as well. It is not providing a cash sponsorship of any kind.

This is a really solid answer. I like how you explain the truths of this situation and provide a counterclaim of sorts! Of course also providing the link to your article is necessary, which you did!
