The owners of a Chicago music store are being forced out of business because of their support for President Trump. Suzanne Monk and Alexander Duvel say they were "outed" online after attending a campaign rally last summer, and have been inundated with threats and calls to boycott the store. Even longtime customers have "decided we're white supremacists, we're xenophobes," Monk said.
