    So Trump supporters who are racist against Mexicans go into a food joint which essentially supports Mexicans. Do you even have a clue regarding what you're talking about? Meanwhile, its you libs who boycott, shut down and burn to the ground what you disagree with. And you wonder why liberalism is considered a mental illness.

    LOL, so do you think this drunk woman was the first Trump supporter to eat at this restaurant that has been in business for 25yrs.

    Your comment drips of white resentment and paranoia. Just the emotions that are the core of Trump's entire campaign.

    Fortunately, the country as a whole does not cower in this kind of fear and try and hide it behind a barrage of bluster.

    Lol...Why would a Trump supporter go to a Mexican restaurant?
    She was probably wearing one of Trump's 'Mexicans are all murderers' slogans on her t-shirt.

    I don’t identify as liberal, don’t think people should be discriminated on grounds of sexual orientation but certainly won’t mock anyone going out of business (I wasn’t aware any of the bakeries involved in any of those cases had actually gone bust).

    Businesses generally have the right to serve (or not serve) anyone they want but there are typically laws and regulations preventing them from actively discriminating against prospective customers on specific sets of grounds, typically including race, religion, gender and sometimes, though not always, sexual orientation. Nowhere is political persuasion one of those grounds.

    If a customer is just wearing clothing promoting a mainstream political candidate, it doesn’t make much sense to refuse their business and doesn’t strike me as right. If there are more specific slogans involved or other more disruptive behaviour, the refusal could be more justified. The article does include differences of opinion on the true sequence of events (as is so often the case in these situations) and isn’t a reliable source of in-depth investigative reporting (they’ve basically just read a series of Facebook posts).

    And of course "your kind" keeps tossing around words that you dont understand.


    Even when someone has posted you the definition prior. Nothing you can show that would make Trump a racist. Illegal Immigrant is not a race.

    Got a link where Trump says that? or is the little addition of all just you trying to paint a false narrative?

    And to your question, why couldn't a Trump supporter like Mexican Food?

    This is why we can't let the country become majority Hispanic. This is how we'll be treated.

    Aren't the restaurant owners entitled to $500,000 from like-minded dipsh1t/s via GoFundMe? After all, that is what the baker owners got. They mewled and cried like little girls about having to pay $135,000, but lapped up the half million like the scum they are.

    Maybe we shouldn't have stolen half of Mexico to enlarge the US then.

    Maybe. But that's ancient history. And your comments prove my point. If Hispanics become the majority, many will seek revenge, restitution, wealth redistribution, and the list goes on. Also, I believe we are a superior culture because of our high esteem for the rule of law, which is virtually absent in most Latin countries and in Mexico. That won't change because they're in the US. They will change the US.

    Political views are not a protected class. I still remember a restaurant in college that fired employees for refusing to wear "(*)(*)(*)(*) Kerry" t-shirts that the owner had printed.

    I'm a lefty and I say you are correct. If this business wants to discriminate against Trump supporters, they should have to make that a publicly stated policy visible to anyone before they choose to patronize the business.

    I always thought this was one of the better options: refuse service to anyone you want, for whatever reason you want, but make your policy public. Businesses are generally more terrified of public backlash than government intervention.

    they can not discriminate based on race, religion, gender, disability.....

    political party is not a protected class, that said, not sure why anyone would discriminate based on party politics

    we did have people deny Obama voters too....

    Apples and oranges. No one infringed the rights of others due to their (*)(*)(*)(*)ing religious beliefs here.

    Move along, cons. Your ruse has been revealed.

    Would you feel the same way if black Obama supporters were kicked out of a food place owned by white people? Of course not, you'd be screaming racism, racism, racism. You liberals have your standards, both of them.


    And to those people on this board who accuse these people of being bigoted Latino hating racists, please explain to me why bigoted Latino hating racists would even go to a Mexican joint to begin with.

    According to the left, yes, because Trump supporters are bigoted anti Mexican racists who would never go to a Mexican food joint.

    Most cons here, including myself, will say people should be able to conduct business with whoever they want. It might not be the smartest move at times, but that should be their choice.

    Agreed, let the free market decide if the business will be supported. If someone doesn't want your money they should not be forced to take it. In the end it will be your decision on who you decide to serve that makes or breaks you.

    Me personally I would no longer support a business if they decided they would not serve a customer based on political standing. Now if you are just a complete ass, then yeah I don't want a thing from you and dont want you around my patrons or to be known to be affiliated with you.

    How else will liberals control others without these types of tactics? That is their goal.
