Tolerant Left Not So Tolerant After Yuengling Brewery Owner Says He Supports Trump
The current owner of the D.G. Yuengling & Son Brewery, Richard ���Dick��� Yuengling, hosted Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump���s son Eric during a visit the younger Trump made to the facility in Pottsville, Pennsylvania this past Tuesday.
Not only did Mr. Yuengling give Eric Trump the grand tour, he also reportedly told him, ���Our guys are behind your father. We need him in there.���
Well, THAT did it.
The tolerant left���which is, of course, anything BUT tolerant���went bananas.
According to Fox News, the following day, a Pennsylvania state legislator, Brian Sims, who happens to be gay, took to Facebook to criticize Yuengling, writing, ���D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. believes that an agenda that is anti-woman, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBT, anti-racial minority and anti-equality is best for them and that tells me all I need to know about what they think is best for their own customers.���
Oh, brother.
Additionally, and of course, there has been the predictable general backlash on social media, with people expressing their ���outrage������because I���m sure they���re really outraged���over Mr. Yuengling���s choice for president. Here is a sample from Twitter:
���Regularly drive 90 mile from KY to OH to get @Yuengling_Beerbut supporting racist, misogynist nut-job Trump is the end of the line for me���
���Will sadly never drink another @Yuengling_Beer, as they support a bigoted, misogynistic, neo-fascist demagogue for pres #boycottYuengling���
���As a fan of the oldest American brewery (my home state of PA) Im ashamed @Yuengling_Beer publicly endorsed Donald. Time to #BoycottYuengling���
By the way, the three Twitter accounts associated with those tweets, all together, have 201 followers at this writing.
Devastating.
As for me, I bought a twelve-pack of Yuengling tonight. Perhaps you should do the same. Oh, you certainly don���t need to drink it, if you prefer not to do so. Just buy it.
Help Mr. Yuengling beat back the efforts of the progressive fascists who think that if you publicly prefer the Republican nominee for president, you deserve to lose your livelihood.
