Sarah Huckabee Sanders Kicked Out of Virginia Eatery

[volsrock]

I doubt the owner even realizes that her little liberal college town of Lexington is in the center of Rockbridge County, which went 62.4% for President Trump. The seven counties surrounding Rockbridge County all went over two thirds for Trump, with nearby Bedford county going 72.5% for Trump. I predict she’ll have a go fund me page and go out of business soon.

I suppose the rightys who think business owners should have a right to refuse service to anyone should be happy with this.

Because of its identity politics ... the Leftists think they own women and Blacks. They reserve a special hatred for "minorities" they consider to be traitors because of their racial or gender "identity".

Does this Lib bitch pay everyone at least $15+ an hour? Provide insurance? Retirement? Profit sharing?

Why, you need a job?

She should have demanded they bake her a cake......

I'm pretty sure she has enough cake.

I wrote in green...someone in here told me that's how we signify sarcasm.
The point is real though. We can refuse service now to anybody basically for any reason...or no reason at all.

No, you can't, but nice try at painting Sanders as some pitiful victim, rather than the extremely well-paid shill that she is. You can still reject customers at your business as long as you are not doing it because they belong to a protected group of people. For instance, I can refuse to make a pair of swastika earrings for a customer because Nazis offend me. I can NOT refuse to make a pair of swastika earrings because the customer is black or other minority race, because of his/her gender, because of his/her religion. Sanders wasn't ejected because of her politics (not protected) or religion (it's doubtful she went in praying) or her gender. She was ejected because the owner is within his rights to choose to serve who he wants as long as he's not choosing on the basis of one of the protected attributes of that person.

[ThatOwlWoman]

Hmmm. She is woman (gender). She is a Caucasian ( race). I am assuming she might be Christian (religion). If she plays her cards right......hehehehe.....

In that case she's gonna need a loaded deck. I hate to agree with Lesion on general principles, but this time he is correct.

Kicked out of restaurants is the new shun by the tolerant left.
The PC left are shrill about is as well.

Fascinating.

Hillary won the state. She'll be fine.

Um, no. A politician isn't covered under discrimination rulings. If the person kicked her out because she was doing the Rosary at the table, then you'd have something. Religion is free from discrimination, but it also can't be used to discriminate against others. You can't deny someone the same service you give everyone else, just because you don't like something about their existence. So skin color, sexual orientation, gender, etc, are all protected under anti-discrimination. Those laws were created back when bigots didn't want to serve colored people. Believe it or not, but the rule protects white people as well. A Black person, has to serve a white person. Of course you rarely have this as being an issue.

[Cypress]

Yep, I'm fine with it. Now at least we know that it's OK businesses are allowed to be discriminatory, biased and can refuse to provide service to people based on race, religion, gender or political views...or even what job they have. It's a great day in America!

Reich Wingers clearly do not understand discrimination law.

She did not get rejected service or booted from a restaurant based on gender. For being a female.

People object to her for being a lying, rightwing asshole. She has no control over being female She does have control over lying, and enabling an obese, racist pig. Lying is a choice.

Being a lying Reich Winger is not a protected class under discrimination law.

the guy who ran this restaurant might......

Even Sean Spicer's conscience got the best of him but Sarah doesn't seem to have one.

Well actually you can refuse anyone swastika earrings, as it's obviously not something you do in product. But if you do something for one person, you can't deny it to a protected class. If you make wedding cakes, you have to make them for everyone. I wonder what these Christian bakers would do, If I asked for a wedding cake celebrating two doggies as the bride, and groom. Somehow I don't think they'd have the same kind of issue. So it's more about people being gay, then sanctity of Marriage.

The term, "Reich wingers" robs you of credibility.
This issue is not about legality; it is about being appropriate and decent.
