Senator Aric Nesbitt, a member of the Michigan State Senate, posted a series of tweets on August 21, 2025, expressing criticism toward unspecified actions and companies.

In his first post at 13:51 UTC, Nesbitt stated, "They have no idea what they are doing." Later that day at 14:23 UTC, he commented specifically on Cracker Barrel with the message, "Don’t touch Cracker Barrel." In a subsequent tweet at 14:56 UTC, Nesbitt wrote, "Go woke, go BROKE."

Nesbitt is known for his conservative positions in the Michigan legislature. The phrase "go woke, go broke" has been used by some politicians and commentators to criticize companies perceived as adopting progressive social policies or marketing strategies. While Nesbitt's tweets do not specify particular incidents or policy changes related to Cracker Barrel or other entities mentioned indirectly, such statements often follow public debates about corporate responses to social issues.

Cracker Barrel has previously faced both support and backlash over its business decisions and public stances on cultural topics. Public figures frequently use social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) to comment on these developments and influence public discourse.
