by Caleb Howe | 2:01 pm, June 27th, 2018
On MSNBC on Wednesday, former democrat presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders defended White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on the currently dominant political topic of civility in politics.
Look, as Ive said before, yeah, I think people have the right to go into a restaurant and have dinner, said Sanders (Bernie) about Saunders (Sarah) being kicked out of a restaurant with her family over political differences.
Host Kristen Welker was asking the Vermont senator about the lack of civility in general at first, and he said hes not a great fan of shouting down people or being rude to people, but that people have a right to be angry.
Echoing Sen. Chuck Schumer, who was characterized by Womens March organizer Linda Sarsour as an obstacle to justice and Martin Luther King Jr.s legacy on the same network last night, Sanders said that voters should channel their anger constructively and do exactly what Alexandria [Ocasio-Cortez] did last night.
Get involved in campaigns so that we end one-party reactionary rule here in Washington, said Sanders. Thats how you should take your anger out.

Hell, if a restaurant can refuse service to someone without shoes or shirt, they sure can refuse

I just can't get worked up over this.
We are talking about a guy who wrote a rape essay and blocked a pathway to citizenship for over ten million people.
This. Meh.

service to the propaganda spokesperson as a form of protest
Just like the bakery refusing to bake a cake for a gay couple, or a pharmacy refusing to fill a
birth control prescription, people who own or are employed by that restaurant have a right to refuse service to someone out of protest
