Oregon GOP Candidate's Campaign Event at Latino-Owned Brewery Sparks Controversy
Xicha Brewing, a Latino-owned business in Oregon, found itself at the center of a controversy when it was discovered that a campaign event for Republican gubernatorial candidate Rep. Ed Diehl was being advertised at their location without their permission. The brewery, which prides itself on its community roots and support for Latino advocacy, was surprised by the negative social media attention it received. The event was initially scheduled for Cinco de Mayo, a significant cultural day for the Latino community. Xicha Brewing's owner, Maggie Antunez, clarified that the brewery had not agreed to host any political events and expressed disappointment over the misunderstanding. Diehl, who supports changes to Oregon's sanctuary law, apologized for the miscommunication and relocated the event to a nearby space.
