US coffee shop introduces 'punch hole in Trump's head' cards

March 30, 2017 21:27

A US coffee shop is brewing controversy with its loyalty cards that are designed in a manner that when punched it looks like a shot in the head of

conservatives, including President Donald Trump.

Black Forge Coffee house in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has issued the loyalty cards that have typical 10-count with its logo to punch, but on the back they have pictures of 10 people management does not like.

Those whose pictures have been printed on the cards are Trump, Rick Santorum, Ann Coulter, Mike Pence, Martin Shkreli, Pat Robertson, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz.

The coffee shop co-owner Nick Miller was quoted by Fox News as saying that the cards are designed to look like a shot in the head when the card is punched.

Co-owner Ashley Corts said she has had the loyalty cards since 2015 and recently updated the cards to include US President Trump. She said it was meant to poke fun at the president.

"We're not threatening the president. We don't want to physically hurt him, we do not condone any sort of hate. It's completely against who we are," Corts said.
