Maine brewery cancels Trump campaign event, saying it was misled over details

[RandySF]

A veteran-owned Freeport brewery canceled a Wednesday campaign event for President Donald Trump that was to be headlined by the president’s daughter-in-law after an owner said he was misled by the campaign about the scope of the event.

Brad and Nancy Nadeau, the owners of Stars and Stripes Brewing, reached out to the Bangor Daily News on Tuesday after an article posted on Monday night cited a Trump campaign news release saying the brewery as the first stop of a “Women For Trump” bus tour on Wednesday evening. The tour is scheduled to end on Thursday in New Hampshire.

The Nadeaus said on Tuesday they had initially been told that some members of the campaign were going to come in for a beer while getting pizza from an adjacent restaurant. Brad Nadeau said he was told late Monday that Lara Trump, the Republican president’s daughter-in-law, would be there and reporters may come as well, but he did not know it would be a formal event.

Then, the Nadeaus said they were surprised to see their brewery in online Trump event listings and deluged by negative comments after news of the event spread. Spokespeople for the Trump campaign in Maine did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment, but Brad Nadeau said he called the campaign to cancel the event on Tuesday morning.

2. normal/formal/shmnormal

what's the difference?

Looks like they got s lot of negative comments and are trying to cut their losses.

BTW why do these shmucks always latch onto the patriotic bullshit? "Stars and Stripes" beer. for instance?

4. Trump is putting inordinate focus on NH ISN'T he?

If he really needs their paltry electoral votes, I think it indicates Game Over for him.

[RhodeIslandOne]

6. He's insane if he thinks he can win New Hampshire

He didn't win there last time, it ain't happening now.

[CaptYossarian]

22. He wants all the SIX Dixville Notch votes.

Think bigly.

[Lonestarblue]

14. Maybe part of it is to support the Republican running against Jeanne Shaheen.

If I can believe the daily emails I get from the Shaheen campaign, the race is really close. I’m not sure what his role is, but Corey Lewandowski is often mentioned in the emails. Dems cannot afford to lose that Senate seat.
