Are we really heading to a place as a nation where people of opposing views can’t share a restaurant?
Last week, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was protested out of a restaurant in DC, and over the weekend White House Press SecretarySarah Huckabee Sanders was asked to leave The Red Hen restaurant in Virginia.
As I noted on Twitter: “Last week: Anthony Bourdain was amazing because he taught us about breaking bread with different kinds of people and getting to know each other over food. This week: But not you.”
“Anthony Bourdain would have never served Nazis” came thousands of replies. It seemed pointless for me to respond that Sanders isn’t a Nazi.
Sanders also doesn’t make policy. The owner of the Red Hen said she asked Sanders to leave because she “publicly defended the president’s cruelest policies, and that that could not stand.” What about talking heads or opinion columnists who defend his policies, are they now barred from the Red Hen, too? What about those of us who generally disagree with the administration but sometimes find ourselves on the same side? Are we only welcome on alternate weeks?

ANTIFA Wicomico includes Jamaad Gould, James Yamakawa, Amber Green, Jake Day, Jake Burdett, Jared Schablein, Earle Hatton, Michele Gregory, Michael Feldman, Josh Hastings, Dan O'Hare and quite a few others. These are the ones that are dangerous because they are trying to take over county politics. They all support violence and have been making threats. They are big supporters of Maxine Waters and Ben Jealous. They have also promised to attack any Democrats that don't support their Progressive movement.
They are going after known Trump supporters and conservatives running for office.
