This brewery is a joke. They'll accept threats and crap-talking from the protected classes about hosting the event, but, are 'shocked' whenever the rest of the world (a.k.a. normal people) push back against their decision to cancel the event:

“Our place is super inclusive,” he said. “We are super pro-veteran, super pro-law enforcement. We’re trying to be good people in the community.

Or republicans could use the powers they have to stop this from happening. The govt is basically a corporation of the people of the United States and was designed to allow the citizenry to wield power and stop corporations/industries from destroying everything.
