he agrees with the restaurant owner.

"Hello Sara Huckabee Sanders". We're going to make something EXTRA special for you, something you REALLY deserve based on the (air quotes here) "service" you provide for our country. I'll be RIGHT BACK!!!"

Just act fucking maniacal and then let her wonder what happened to her food. Break no laws of course...

of immigrant spit....

But is suddenly outraged when same is done to her bigoted ass.

I'm not feeling any pity for her being refused service in one restaurant.

After seeing bakers and restaurant owners on their side deny service, and seeing a DOCTOR, WHO TOOK AN OATH refuse to treat the sick infant of two gay women, turning the other cheek is bullshit. While I appreciate Rep. Cummings thoughts, it is high time that we start fighting fire with fire. Afterall, what is less civil than a doctor refusing to treat a very ill infant?

I, on the other hand, want to use the golden rule. An eye for an eye, do unto others, etc. I am tired of getting sand kicked in my face by bullies with no heart or brain.

Not an eye for an eye. Different reference there.

Sarah Huckabee should be treated with the golden rule after she has been lying in those press briefings.

I don't blame the owner for not serving her. I am not as forgiving.

I simply corrected the other poster’s understanding of the golden rule.

directing my comment to you it was a general comment.

This administration is an abomination.

Yet again IS going to cost us our pre-existing health coverage and some of us our Health Care PERIOD which is murder. When will Dems learn that thuglicans aren't playing with Dems? I'd have just not said ONE word about what happened to thr black-hearted, professional LIAR.

We can not follow the behaviors of tRump and his minions...as then we validate their abusiveness and thus give them permission to continue.

We must take a deep breath...remain professional....

Nancy Pelosi are all exceptional Democrats who serve in the House. They each have their own approach on how to handle various situations in the Era of Trump.

At crunch time, you can count on them all being on the same page.

Thanks for giving those stalwarts a shout-out. They do deserve it.

house committee hearing, several years ago. The hearing was an actual "witch hunt", concerning HRC's e-mails. As ranking member of the committee, Cummings took his cues from her testimony which helped her wear down the GOP thugs who were attempting to trip her up.

He took some hard licks on the civil-rights front lines in the 1960s, and here he is today, still fighting for the greater good.

He has lived through so much significant history, that he has BECOME history.

Ever. Anywhere.

Never. Fight fire with fire.

It reminded me when the bakery refused to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple, citing religious beliefs.

Others reminded me of the difference, and of course that's true.

Still...is everyone going to start being rejected for service in a public place based on politics? Can I not use a public restroom in almost entire red areas in the south if I have an anti-Trump bumper sticker?

This is a dangerous path. Although Cummings is right in stating that Trump has lead the country down this path of disrespect for differences, for name calling, and putting down civil discourse, and hating the opposition. Trump has "his people." Everyone else is sh*t to him.

But no one needs my permission to do what he thinks is right. If she walked into my MEXICAN restaurant, I'd likely kick her out, too, legal or not, fanning the flames of hatred or not. Her being there would be an affront to all the Hispanics working there, and the culture that is celebrated at a Mexican restaurant. A culture that emphasizes family.

How would we react if Obama’s press secretary was turned away from a restaurant? Wer really have to try not to turn into these scumfucks.

on politics, but morality.

That makes her a hero in my book, that she wouldn't force them to something morally objectionable to them. Great boss!

This administration is sneaking infants across state lines (many times in the middle of the night) and sticking them in tender-age facilities. INFANTS!!! That's just one of the many atrocities being carried out by Trump & Co right now.

And we're supposed to be cordial to these monsters?

An empty display of that has no value.

I'm fine with restaurants, gyms, any recreational facility turning these scum away. It's not as if Sanders NEEDED to eat at that restaurant; she could have filled her stomach at Chic-Fil-A who would welcome her with open arms and probably give her free food. Grocery stores should let her shop there and she can eat at home. For anything that's not a necessity, I'm glad to see them shunned.

Otherwise, I’m not onboard with Mr Cummings.

What if the shoe was on the other foot and the Red Hen owner had refused to serve Rep. Cummings because of his politics? What would we have said about that?

The sitting Vice President. The right cheered that, just as they cheered a cake baker refusing to bake a cake for a gay couple. They really don't give a shit about how we feel, they want to impose their will on society.

She was refused, as Red Hen's owner made clear, because she constantly and consistently lies to the American public.

Plus, Trump defended her today, and of course trashed the Red Hen. That alone is a reason to support the Red Hen.

We give credibility to the other side as if they just have policy differences with us, when in fact their side is immoral and unjust. They should not be given the dignity of polite society. They need to be called out for their actions anytime and anyplace that we possibly can.

Also spend the entire time she is dining explaining why what she is doing is wrong.

Justification for paying in advance. It is known her boss does not honor contracts.

Some people need to take that which they dish out before they'll ever learn anything. Mrs. Sanders is one such person. Whether or not she is capable of learning the lesson that was being taught to her remains to be seen.

to take a stand. way past time.

have a nice phlegm taco you lowlife scumbag.

The Red Hen owner took a moral stand, she did the right thing.

BIG DIFFERENCE.

I have a lot of respect for Cummings but gotta disagree on this one. She is part of one of the biggest threats this country have ever seen.. She is the enemy.

After she eats it, tell her the recipe came from the movie “The Help”.

I don’t blame people for being upset about people that commit, excuse, and lie about crimes against humanity.

covering and enabling the most evil man to hold office in recent history.

I'm tired of all the normalizing of them, their opinions, etc. Stop the idiotic trumper panels and stop trying to be civil with them. It's not working!

I'm done and have now begun my own Zero Tolerance policy. I don't care what they think or how they feel.

ETA: I understand that Cummings is probably viewing the situation from his own experiences of being kicked out of restaurants by racists. But I don't think the two issues are the same. Red Hen was trying to STOP a racist/fascist.

eating at a commercial establishment - they might be surprised at what is in/on their food. The same goes for anyone that wears MAGA paraphernalia.

I think the owner did the right thing in this instance.

I don't think the owner was wrong, however. The cantina scene in "Casablanca" comes to mind, where the Nazis are singing Nazi songs. Rick signals Sam to play "La Marseillaise" (the French national anthem) and everyone joins in, drowning out the Germans, who leave. It's a small victory, but it's symbolic of how you don't give up when faced with evil.

If we weren't in the middle of this moral crisis, I might reconsider my position, but with the issue of jailing babies there is no defensible side, and SHS is the principle defender of the president's immorality. Telling her to get out is the equivalent of having the cantina join in singing "La Marseillaise."

They were politely asked to leave. We bet were comped for the meal.

These times are not normal
And we must not allow them to be seen as normal.

It's quite an effective strategy for the Amish.

The fact that the reservation was made in her husband's name is quite telling.

OTOH, there might be something to be said for serving her and her family, which I'm sure would have run up a nice bill, taking the money then publically announcing you are donating it to a cause she and the Trump admin oppose.

Cummings may have in mind an idyllic setting in which the employees put on such a great show that Sanders' heart melts and the world is made a little better. The manager there on the front lines, however, had to make a quick decision that didn't crush emplyee morale or invite open conflict when her staff was near mutiny.

A manager cannot personally cook for and serve a table when busy running a restaurant.
