The Distilled Spirits Council of America needs to push Chris Swonger out as spokesghoul [View all]

While talking with the CBC he said this:

"We appreciate and recognize President Trump is trying to grapple with some broader issues with the Canadian government and Prime Minister Trudeau, but our industry should not be involved in these tit for tat battles because we're an industry of one. We're an industry that has enjoyed great growth... (and yada yada)"

He is playing "Trump is dealing with problems with Canada." As if Canada is the problem, not Trump. Trump is merely trying to right a wrong.
F him. Maybe if the moron and the stupid states most of his bottlers are in hadn't voted Trump, he wouldn't be in this mess

If I still had facebook, I'd let them know I will never buy American alcohol anywhere, ever again.
I do feel badly for Brough Brothers. Their company is small, and just getting going. He seems like a nice guy. Lost his deal with the New Brunswick Board
