Restaurant manager fired after refusing to serve customer wearing MAGA hat

The manager of a popular restaurant in Vancouver, Canada, was fired after he told a customer to remove his “Make America Great Again” cap or he would refuse to serve him.

Darin Hodge, the former manager of the Teahouse in Stanley Park, told Global News he stood by his decision to ask the man to take off the cap saying the hat represented “racism, bigotry, Islamophobia, misogyny, white supremacy, (and) homophobia.”

“As a person with a strong moral backbone, I had to take a stand against this guest’s choice of headwear while in my former place of work. Absolutely no regrets,” he said in a written statement to Global News.

The hats were made popular during Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

Man, I have collected caps for many years. Never had one that meant all that. I may have some bad a-s caps (offensive) and don't know it. Maybe I'll get a liberal to approve the one's I should keep or throw out.

My only question is "Who wouldn't want to make America great again?"

Exactly, nor can they provide any examples of such imaginary behaviour, because there are none. Keep slinging crap until somebody believes your false rhetoric. Some people don't have the good sense to be ashamed of themselves. SMH

It's just amazing to see how the Dem narrative has poisoned even those in Canada.

This is stupid and it has to stop.

Where has civil discourse gone? I bet that if that person had not been wearing that hat, those people would have been able to get along, have a beer together, and find out that they are more in common than they are different.

We demonize the opposition, BOTH SIDES, we paint pictures of them that just are not true or accurate. This madness MUST stop.

We should hash out ideas in the market place of ideas and let the best ones flush themselves out... to demonize each other never gets us anywhere. This needs to stop. Someone needs to be the example, the "bigger person" as it were.

Good move owner! Anyone who tries to harm a owner's business, for any reason, deserves to be fired. If that idiot manager thinks MAGA stands for "racism, bigotry, Islamophobia, misogyny, white supremacy, (and) homophobia", then he drinks from the cup of Mad Maxine Waters. And if he thinks that, then he thinks the same thing of at least the half of America that voted for DJT. I hope our border crossing doesn't let that idiot visit our country.

I would never walk into a restaurant wearing a MAGA hat, no telling what might end up in your food.

How irrational is somebody that would lose their job promoting hate for the President of a country that isn't even his? I won't call all democrats deplorables, but many of them have become downright unhinged at America (that's right Americans) electing DJT as our president. If you think the dems all were cheating in the last election, with all their illegal and unqualified voters (both dead and alive), with Hillary's fix on the election, and Obama's illegal election tampering, you haven't seen anything yet. Just wait for the next general election. The next step for democrats is violence in the elections. If they can't fix elections anymore, they are going to use force to get their desired outcome. The democratic process is their enemy, and they will stop at nothing in their quest for socialism. Progressive now stands for progressively more rude and violent.

The Lower Shore Progressive Caucus has been attacking anyone that supports President Trump and Sarah Sanders about the Red Hen incident. They are members of ANTIFA Wicomico and they are dangerous people.

ANTIFA Wicomico includes Jamaad Gould, James Yamakawa, Amber Green, Jake Day, Jake Burdett, Jared Schablein, Earle Hatton, Kevin Schablein, 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.

Some of these idiots are running for office and no matter what your party is, Democrat or Republican, you would be foolish to vote for them. Although they are on the ticket as Democrats, they don't identify as Democrats, they identify are Progressives and they are talking about bringing civil war to the streets.

ANTIFA Wicomico are Progressives NOT Democrats.

The Progressives currently on the ballot for Wicomico County are:
Ben Jealous - Governor
Dan O'Hare - 37B House of Delegates
Sheree Sample-Huges - 37A House of Delegates
Carl Anderton, Jr. - 38B House of Delegates(Because of his love affair with Progressives)
Jack Heath - County Executive. True Progressive, supported by Progressives
Jamaad Gould - County Council at Large
William R. McCain - County Council at Large
Alexander W. Scott - County Council, District 2
Michele Gregory - County Council, District 3
Josh Hastings - County Council District 4
W. Seth Mitchell - States Attorney
These Democrat candidates on your ballot are not Democrats, they are members of the radical Lower Shore Progressive Caucus and they are trying to take over your Party. They are Dangerous and radical. If they were true Democrats then why did they start their own Progressive Party? Don't be a fool, do not vote for them!

Do not vote for the Progressive Party!!

You need to find better eating establishments. Perhaps your fear is restaurants that allow hats to be worn when dining. They are lower class to start with. If you wear you politics on your sleeve, or on your head in public (and you're not a politician), then you should always be prepared for confrontation.
