Last night White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and her party were
asked to leave a restaurant by the proprietor for out of “moral conviction.” Conservatives are predictably incensed. Her father Mike Huckabee
tweeted his outrage at the supposed “bigotry” and small-mindedness of the restaurant owner–only two hours after
posting a stereotypically racist MS-13 gang photo and calling it Nancy Pelosi’s campaign committee. Former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer
fumed about the partisan divisiveness of it all. This comes on the heels of Homeland Security Secretary being
shamed out of a Mexican restaurant by activists.
Trump Republicans are also finding it
hard to date in Washington DC, rejected out of hand on Tinder and walked out on over drinks.
It turns out that when you come to a multicultural cosmopolitan city with an open agenda of white supremacy, patriarchy and anti-urbanism, the native population tends not to like you. When you compound bigoted viewpoints with cruel and inhumane policies like family separation as a deterrent to reduce the percentage of American Hispanic population, you may find yourself unwelcome at Mexican restaurants. It turns out that when your sexual politics are built around retrograde beliefs in male dominance and superiority, empowered women (and decent men) don’t want to have sex with you.
The irony for conservatives here is that this is freedom of association.
