My thoughts are exactly the same as I had on other incidents involving discrimination. We live in an open society and an open economy. We can't pick and chose whom to provide our services as long as others are part of the system where we live. This isn't some feudal society of past where you had ownership of your domain. This is an open economy and you have to learn to assimilate with others. I can't discriminate with people who are Muslims, Christians, atheists, whites, blacks, communists etc. etc. In cases when you have a convict or man with dangerous motives can you justifiably deny your services. But you shouldn't deny your services because you do not agree with the people who are working for political party you don't like.

It's another sign that leftists aren't always the fair, compassionate, and open-minded people they pretend to be.

Yeah, I just heard about that on Fox News a bit earlier.
just shows you how messed up the left is getting nowadays (basically some of them are getting more and more hostile as time passes). but I guess that business owner can do that if the owner wants to. but it's just the thought of them not serving her because she works with Trump. but apparently she kept cool and got up and left. that would been challenging to keep your cool for being singled out over the thought of it. but I give her credit, as if she would have got upset and made a scene, the left would have tried to use that against her.

My thoughts: I'd find the behaviour of the restaurant owner discriminatory and unacceptable, if it had happened in an enlightened country with standards against discrimination.
But since it happened in a country where bakers are allowed to discriminate against potentional customers, I'll just say: If Republicans are going to dish out, they should be able to take in.

I think the restaurant owner could have done this for publicity. Remember that any publicity is better than no publicity in today's age. Given that it has received many 5 star ratings since denying the service to one particular customer based on association with Trump it seems that there are many people who consider it a good act.

Personally I think that a person who offers a public service should have to serve any member of the public, unless that person is offering some sort of threat or harassment or something. But hasn't the Supreme Court just said you can refuse service to anyone you like? So they're well within their rights to do this silly thing. Which is the world the republicans wanted.

I find her response to Sanders to completely understandable. With it's recent policy to start harming children (as "deterrence"), the sheer inhumanity of the Trump administration has become too much for some people to put aside even in their day to day business.

'Working for the White House' isn't a protected class.

People don't like hypocrites who preach about their open mindedness but fail to reflect it in their behavior.

...Sanders left on her own and did not put up a stink like some moronic leftie would have done...

Should a Jewish deli be forced to cater a Neo-Nazi rally by compulsion of law?

We all make some sacrifice when we stand up for our principles. I hope Ms. Wilkinson will not be an exception to that rule. She certainly understands what might happen.

Yes, if part of the Jewish deli business model is to cater events........and........the Neo-Nazi rally was not causing problems for the business..........and the Neo-Nazi rally paid the expected cost for the deli's services!

Just a reminder, guys, being a liar is not a protected class.
You can deny service because you don't like someone's personality or attitude. But you can't deny them service based on a protected class.
