Snoopy Weekly, a now-deleted popular X account unaffiliated with the “Peanuts” comic, got backlash for a post that endorsed former President Donald Trump in the election next month.
The account, which had more than 19,000 followers, was among several Snoopy fan pages on social media that have amassed large audiences in the last few years amid the beagle’s resurgence in meme culture.
The animated pup, who is primarily known as Charlie Brown's best pal, debuted in comic form in October 1950. But in recent years, he has garnered the love of a new generation of fans, made up of Gen Zers, who post everything from fan edits to memes about him across X, TikTok and Instagram.
"Snoopy hates you btw," a fan of the cartoon wrote in response to the Snoopy Weekly endorsement, sharing a screenshot of the now-removed post.
