Armed Forces Brewery, a military themed beer company, moved from Maryland to Virginia, hoping to cash in on the more military oriented (and right leaning) population, Heck, even Governor “I wear vests” Glenn Youngkin publicly supported them, giving them $300,000 in tax incentives!
To really lure the crowds, they leaned into the MAGA triple crown of social media: misogyny, homophobia and transphobia!
Alas, it did not work. And now they are going bye bye.
The company blamed the “local woke mob,” but WHRO reports that “legal filings show a company in deep financial distress dating back years.”
Now, the CEO continues to deny this, saying that the company could not “profitably operate” because the local woke mob have “no love for the traditional American values we hold as a company.”
What “values” are those? RACISM? MISOGYNY? HOMOPHOBIA? TRANSPHOBIA? Those are only values of one party.
Oh, and to add more craziness – the public face of the company is Robert O’Neill, a sometimes FOX news commentator and former Navy Seal who claims he was the SOLE person to shoot Osama Bin Laden. O’Neill is super right wing, bashing drag queens and insinuating that “members of the LGBTQ+ community are “pedophiles.” He was also kicked off a Delta flight into 2020 for refusing to put a mask on. Maskhole.
