They made a homophobic, anti-mask, misogynist the face of their company and then act like victims when decent people decided not to buy their vetbro beer. The punchline: the CEO of Armed Forces Brewing never served. It’s a marketing ploy. $300K from Youngkin wasted. www.whro.org/business-gro...

It's important to be weather aware tomorrow. An intense thunderstorm squall line could come through early to mid-afternoon with heavy rain, strong winds and perhaps a brief tornado or two in the region.
