After a federal judge in Hawaii blocked President Trump’s revised travel ban Wednesday, Trump supporters took to Twitter to call for a boycott of all things Hawaii.
Many local folks, however, seem to think it’s Trump supporters’ loss. Even Sen. Brian Schatz had something to say about the hashtag.
We compiled some of the top responses from both sides, so you don’t have to weather the tweetstorm yourself:

Anyone who wants to #BoycottHawaii can slide those plane tickets right over here. Hotel reservations, too.

#BoycottHawaii is trending. Then it'll be #BoycottMaryland b/c of 2nd court decision. Soon only place folks can go is Steve King's district.
