I asked for two cites and you can't even provide one. Prove your claim or retract.

Now WTH are you whining about? The Sanders tweet is from her official account, not her personal one. The Shaub tweet is from the former director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics.

I am happy with this. It expose the hypocrisy of the left, IMO.

Don't you think business owners have a right to refuse service to anyone they choose unless such refusal is a discriminatory violation of the law?

no Open to public means everyone welcome.

Um, no. A politician isn't covered under discrimination rulings. If the person kicked her out because she was doing the Rosary at the table, then you'd have something. Religion is free from discrimination, but it also can't be used to discriminate against others. You can't deny someone the same service you give everyone else, just because you don't like something about their existence. So skin color, sexual orientation, gender, etc, are all protected under anti-discrimination. Those laws were created back when bigots didn't want to serve colored people. Believe it or not, but the rule protects white people as well. A Black person, has to serve a white person. Of course you rarely have this as being an issue.

So now an owner can refuse service to someone; because they don't like their pants sagging, or the color of the clothes they wear, or any number of other reasons.

Thanks

Don't you find it strange that liberals seem to have assumed that a restaurateur who closed on Tuesday for decades was racist because the Secret Service didn't give him a chance to offer to open up especially for Obama?

I find it strange that you keep posting such monstrous bullshit.

August 2nd, 2013: Liberals assumed that Obama was denied service in a restaurant because of racism and were poutraged.


Doug Bradshaw answered the phone.

"Bea's Restaurant," he said. "Good afternoon." It was the U.S. Secret Service.

In 1950, Bradshaw's grandparents opened the Dodds Avenue restaurant that's become so beloved that, like Luther, it goes by only one name: Bea's. People eat there, for decades. A few summers ago, one couple flew in from Colorado ... just for lunch.

It's iconic. It's homegrown. Folks sop it up.

It's the perfect place for a visiting president to eat.

Cue the Secret Service phone call.

"They said the president was coming here on a Tuesday," Bradshaw said, "and wanted to know if the president could come eat lunch."

"I would have done it," said Bradshaw.

But?

"We are closed Monday and Tuesday," he said.

And that's just what he told the Secret Service.

Closed Tuesdays, every Tuesday, since 1964.

Then, as quickly as it began, the phone call ended. The Secret Service hung up.

"If it had been Wednesday, we would have loved for him to come," Bradshaw said.

End of story.

Right?

The phone call ended, but like heartburn, trouble followed. Word got out. People started chewing on assumptions and rumors, and with a little help from Internet gossip and Facebook, the story suddenly turned into this:

Bea's wouldn't serve lunch to the president.

"That's ridiculous," Bradshaw said.

In these awful days of social division, where we assume and predict the worst about one another, Bradshaw found himself in a hot mess of accusations: racist, political and more.

"It's not political and it's not racial," Bradshaw said. "It wasn't a refusal."

The Secret Service never asked if Bea's would open on Tuesday; like some jittery preteen, the agent hung up before Bradshaw could even suggest it.

"Bullshit", DEMOCRAT?

Loser.

:rofl2:
 
Very classy move on the part of Sanders and the other guests (who were told that they were welcome to stay...after all, they had already been served)...and they even offered to pay....)
Let's see where this teeny overpriced but "inspired Shenandoah cuisine" is three months from now...they can always rent the place out as an apartment if things start to go downhill...
