Moonbats flocking to the attack.

It only took 10 minutes before the Uncle Loui’s Cafe Facebook page was bombarded with comments.
The owners had just announced they would be hosting Fox & Friends on Thursday for their morning news segment.
“There were people that were congratulating us and then there were some people that were very angry,” said Matt Berthiaume, the general manager of the cafe. “There were some regulars that come in and now don’t want to eat here anymore, which is unfortunate.”
Berthiaume said hosting the morning news segment is an attempt to increase exposure for the restaurant. Instead, the simple business decision turned their Facebook page into a brouhaha of invective being hurled back and forth.
“We’ll see what happens. There were negative comments and people who had never been in here before were slandering the cleanliness of this restaurant,” Berthiaume said.
Coinciding with President Donald Trump’s visit to Duluth on Wednesday, the network called the local eatery last week hoping to broadcast from the restaurant the day after the rally. Berthiaume said he thinks his mother and Uncle Loui’s owner, Debra Strop, didn’t fully realize how some people would perceive the decision.
“My mom’s so apolitical — she just wants to feed people,” Berthiaume said. “She just wants people to come in. It’s great exposure for our restaurant, which I can’t blame her for. If it wasn’t us, it’d be somebody else.”
Berthiaume and Strop wanted to grow their restaurant’s brand, but instead have spent much of the past few days in damage control mode.
In one instance, Berthiaume said he messaged a man who was saying rude things to people, including his step-grandmother who was supporting the restaurant online.
“That’s the worst part. People just assume,” he said. “No one asks questions like ‘Hey, what’s up?’ or ‘Are you supporting this?’”
