The liberal Massachusetts mayor of Somerville just triggered himself into a boycott after reading that the co-founder of Sam Adams, a Boston beer, was at a dinner with Trump and was appreciative of the tax cuts passed by Republicans this year.
First, here’s what Jim Koch from Sam Adams said:
KOCH: When I started Sam Adams, American beer was a joke, and it pissed me off. And now, American brewers make the best beer in the world. And the tax reform was a very big deal for all of us, because 85 percent of the beer made in the United States is owned by foreign companies.
TRUMP: That’s right.
KOCH: I mean, Americans — I’m the largest American-owned brewery at 2 percent market share. We were paying 38 percent taxes —
TRUMP: Wow. But you’ve done a great job. Great job.
KOCH: — and competing against people who were paying 20. And now we have a level playing field, and we’re going to kick their ass.
TRUMP: Yeah. That’s good. We’ve done that. That was a very unfair situation. That’s right. Good job. That’s a really good job. (Applause.)
That might sound very reasonable to ye of common sense, but to liberals like the Somerville mayor who counts himself among the Trump resistance, it’s BLASPHEMY!
Sam Adams beer founder dined with Trump, thanked him for tax cut. Guess we resistors aren't Sam Adams beer drinkers. Just saying…https://t.co/L9oBpHYZTS

Even Coors is looking better than Sam Adams now. Shocks me that any Board Chair of a public company would make a political statement that's offensive to a large block of customers & stockholders. There's plenty of competition.

What a liberal buffon. How is that an offensive political statement? He’s talking about his business being able to compete better and thus grow, which is good for the American worker – some of which are at the brewery in Boston.
You know Barri, I hear there are plenty of psychiatrists these days that specialize in TDS that might be able to help you. You should give one of them a call.
