Bay Area candy store facing calls for boycott after owner seen at Trump rally
SF Gate ^ | January 8, 2021 | by Andrew Chamings

A candy store in Menlo Park is getting trashed online and facing calls for a boycott after the owner was photographed at the Trump rally in Washington, D.C., that led to a mob rampaging through the U.S. Capitol.

Sugar Shack owner Suzi Tinsley's appearance at the pro-Trump rally has caused such a backlash in the community that the store closed early on Thursday, reports ABC7.

In a written statement, Tinsley stated that she attended the protest, which turned deadly after a Trump supporter was shot inside the Capitol, "for a peaceful march."

Tinsley said that she herself was physically floored amid the chaos on Pennsylvania Avenue and took no part in the breach of the Capitol building.

After Sugar Shack's Yelp reviews bombed from four stars to one and a half overnight, and photos on the site were changed to that of Tinsley at the rally, Yelp disabled the posting of content on the page, stating, "This business recently received increased public attention, which often means people come to this page to post their views on the news rather than actual consumer experiences with the business."

Turnabout is fair play. I plan on boycotting all establishments that support liberal causes, from corporations to box stores to liberal owned mom and pop stores. We’ve already hit the sports industry and Hollywood but need to continue to dump them. I’m getting rid of Amazon prime as well.

This is why American patriots need to get out of Communist-dominated areas, if at all possible. More and more, and I think it’s going to ramp up rapidly, it is going to become impossible for patriots to coexist with Communists, unless they hide their identity and beliefs.

I think we only have months, not years, to separate, which should begin a secessionist movement. It that happens, we will have all of the “breadbasket” states, and almost all of the oil reserves and production, plus virtually all of the refineries. Texas, South Carolina, Florida, and the gulf states will give us plenty of ports. Finally, I vote that we get Lockheed Martin (I know, California - just need to lure them to Texas, plus if Georgia comes along then they’re already headquartered there). Boeing would likely go to the Communist motherland, but they suck badly these days anyway.
