York: Anti-Trump fever takes threatening turn

The toxicity of the resistance to President Trump has risen in recent days, with the nation's most respected newspapers publishing rationalizations for denying Trump supporters public accommodation and for doxxing career federal employees, while a journalist found himself under physical attack from the so-called anti-fascist group Antifa, which has stepped up its violent activities since Trump's election.

The justification for denying public accommodation came from the Washington Post in an op-ed by Stephanie Wilkinson, the owner of a farm-to-table restaurant in Lexington, Virginia. Wilkinson became famous in June of last year, when she refused to serve White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders and and told Sanders and her family to leave the restaurant. Wilkinson's staff then followed the Sanders group in protest as they tried to find another place to eat.

Wilkinson later told the press she ejected Sanders because the Trump administration is "inhumane and unethical" and because the Red Hen "has certain standards that I feel it has to uphold, such as honesty, and compassion, and cooperation."

In her new article, Wilkinson discussed the case of The Aviary, a trendy bar in Chicago where a waitress recently spat on Eric Trump, the president's son. Wilkinson wrote that the incident, along with her own decision to oust Sanders, shows that in the age of Trump "new rules apply" in public accommodations: Americans who work for the administration or support the president should stay away.

These crazy liberals should be very careful. Sooner or later their will be a great backlash.

To spit on another human is the act of an uneducated animal that only grunts and never says anything.

The left is beginning to scrape the bottom of the barrel with their uncivil tactics. And Hillary dared call the Trump supporters "deplorable"? If tact, composure, and decency is "deplorable" I am damned proud to be one. Admittedly I don't agree with a lot of Trump's bluster but he is fighting hard to right the ship that has been listing for many years; I will continue to support the conservative agenda.

8:50 I totally agree. Trump gives nothing but respect but never gets it. Poison from the outgoing administration? That’s really where the disrespect began 😉
