Pub deletes and re-uploads Trudeau pics after massive blowback

A pub that Trudeau visited for a PR stunt deleted photos of him from their social media after realizing that association with him was hurting their business.
Immediately after the restaurant’s Instagram account posted photos with Trudeau posing with staff, the negative comments came flooding in by the thousands.
“So within a few hours, we had thousands of comments, we were getting hundreds of private messages, we are now getting phone calls to the brewery, and all of these comments are extremely negative, vulgar, there is a lot of profanity being used, sexualizing our staff,” said business co-owner Jared Murphy in an interview with CBC News.
“To see a group of individuals, who have never even visited our establishment, who are taking a political stance, to make threats against our brewery, to say that they are going to take us down, that they are going to wait until we declare bankruptcy until they finish with us, that was really hard for our staff to see.”
