Norfolk, Virginia, approves military-themed brewery despite some community pushback
Norfolk City Council voted 6-1 Tuesday to approve a Armed Forces Brewing Company’s taproom and distribution facility, near the the largest U.S. Navy base.
You're viewing a single thread.
Kendall Almerico, an attorney for the brewery, disagreed.
“Our company is made up of 9,500 people that are white, Black, Hispanic,” Almerico said, referring to the number of shareholders. “We have gay couples, lesbian couples. We have every single — anything you can imagine — in this company. Just like the United States military does.”
That language use not only sounds like bogus justification for thinly veiled bigotry, but it sounds like a disjointed sentence trump would mutter..
"every kind of mixture—I have a Black. I have a woman, two Jews and a cripple."
James Watt said it first
Damn, that is so similar..
Thanks for the TIL.
Yeah, I read that and thought 'wow, we've progressed exactly, well, not at all'.
