Secret Service Bought Cupcakes To Thank Baker For Turning Down Biden

Secret Service officers associated with Vice President Joe Biden bought a pile of cupcakes from the baker who refused to host Biden at his shop — and they did so out of gratitude.
It’s a startling news nugget at the bottom of a local report. “[S]hortly after Crumb and Get It told Biden’s advance people ‘no’ — the secret service walked in and told [owner] Chris McMurray ”Thanks for standing up and saying ‘no’ — then they bought a whole bunch of cookies and cupcakes,” according to the Valley Reporter (Va.).

They are used to picking out the good guys.

"The Secret Service’s purchase proved to be a herald of things to come, as Virginia locals rewarded McMurray with a rush of business this morning. The bakery ran out of food by 1:15 pm."

Bravo!

Way to go! Stand up for your principles and don't back down or sell out to the pressure. God smiled down on you. God bless those agents for stepping up to the plate..that's courage and the American way. And while I'm at it, thank God for all the navy seals who did what none of us could have ever done. They deserve and earned all of our respect.

Well, there goes four or five Secret Service positions. They'll probably be guarding the front door of Civic Ceneter next year...
