Delaware Pizza Shop Cancels Event for Republican Senate Candidate After Pressure From BLM
GP ^ | 10/09/20 | Cassandra Fairbanks

Grotto Pizza in Delaware has cancelled a campaign event for America First senate candidate Lauren Witzke following a pressure campaign from the left.
The owner of the pizza joint then opted to go to the media and lie about their reason for the last-minute cancellation.

After Witzke announced her meet and greet at the venue, the left set up petitions and began a harassment campaign to get the owner to cancel the event. Their mob tactics worked, and less than 24 hours before the event, the shop posted on Facebook that it had been cancelled.

Grotto Pizza posted on Facebook that the shop “welcomes a community of diversity which includes differences in age, sex, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion and political perspective.”

“Over the past 24 hours, we were informed a private event scheduled in our Pennsylvania Avenue location this evening was actually a political ‘meet and greet’ and actively being promoted by the event organizer,” reads the Facebook post from Grotto Pizza. “Once this information was confirmed, we reached out to the organizer of the event to inform them Grotto Pizza will not allow the event to proceed in our restaurant.”

“We do not allow campaign events in any of our locations and do not support any specific candidates in any elections,” the post continues.

We’re not a free society. To the contrary, host or say the wrong thing, and the govt sanctioned terrorists will destroy one’s property and very possibly one’s life.

The day will come when sanity arrives across nation, and the Country is released from the clutches of the Marxists.

Because the people that wanted to go to support the Republican will remember. Americans don’t like being pushed around.

But I think it would backfire more on the Pizza place than BLM which I dont’ think republicans like anyway.

I’ve been there numerous times.
We used to frequent Kelly’s Logan House around the way.
We might of had too many beers and shots there.
Anyhow, that’s right in the busy Wilmington area.

When I think of BLM I think more of the term “open fire” than backfire.

I think they are more fearful than woke.
It’s in the downtown area.
Delaware has lots of Democrats.
Wilmington(city) has plenty of blacks.
This Grotto’s location is in Wilmington.(city)

I was thinking of putting out a yard sign that says “Harris/Biden = BLM.”

Since there are a fair number of both signs in my neighborhood.

If I lived close by I certainly wouldn’t be a patron of this pizza place. This whole BLM stuff is getting old.

= = = = = = = = = = =

Going through a neighborhood the other day and one of those
‘Hate has no home here’(??) signs and underneath was
We love Law & Order,
We Love Justice etc etc
and there was a PDJT sign alongside it.

I am always ‘tempted’ when I see a Biden sign & the Hate/Love lives here to knock on door and ask what they think of PDJT.

THEN I will be able to say “I THOUGHT HATE DIDN’T LIVE HERE”
