Courtney’s Restaurant and Catering owner Tom Courtney said he’s experienced a strong social media backlash because he rented the event room at his Mt. Juliet business to U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Marsha Blackburn on Saturday.
Courtney said he’s been called a Nazi, an abuser, had his life threatened and said his staff has been verbally attacked.
Hundreds of posters on social media said they would boycott his restaurant because it was a local venue to Blackburn, who is running for a seat in the U.S. Senate against former Democratic Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen.
“People have posted they love our food, but will no longer come to the restaurant,” Courtney said Monday. “I have never in my life experienced such a thing. It’s scary.”
Courtney said he didn’t file a police report about the threats.
“At first, I didn’t make a deal,” he said. “Right to free speech and everything. I don’t need to expose the idiots who are keyboard crazy and damage a small local business. The ghosts behind their posts. It will blow over. I’m just blown away though.”
The long-time restaurant owner has a meat-and-three located on North Mt. Juliet Road and has a meeting room he rents out nearly every day to musicians, local clubs and other groups. He said if the Bredesen campaign called tomorrow to rent the room, he’d say yes. It’s business for a small business trying to eke out a living.

May God have mercy on us if these people ever get back in power.
The store owner is 100% right-—IT IS SCARY!!!
The Left is nuts!
DemonicRat party is the new fascist party. And, of course, the NPCmedia being part of the movement looks the other way.
“...imagine how nasty they will be when they get it.”
No need to imagine, just read up on the history of the Cultural Revolution in China or what happened in Cambodia in the mid 1970s.
We are dealing with the exact same ideology and tactics, it doesn’t matter if they prefer the term “Democrat Party” to “Communists”.
This is exactly how the Nazi Party was formed in Germany.
Publicize it!
It should go national, but should certainly be made known all over Tennessee.
This is Zero’s civilian army, mmmm, mmmm, mmmmm. They will get more violent.
That kind of thing creates more non-voters and R voters, imo. Decent people don’t want association by party or vote, and I believe most people are decent.
“May God have mercy on us if these people ever get back in power.”
If they EVER get it back, they will NEVER relinquish it again without BLOODSHED! This, for them is a fight to the DEATH!
Soros satanic antifa thugs are Well funded and organized!! We must infiltrate these groups and smash them to the ground! I bet you a lot of those people are illegal aliens and criminal terrorist from the Middle East!!
Not only Soros funded but Bezo and all those anti American billionaires living here!!
Last week, I posted “Great food, great service (as usual)!” on the Facebook page of a local restaurant that I frequent.
I didn’t know that a fired waitress had made a fuss that the owner of that restaurant was rude to her when she ambush filmed him a week later when she confronted him about the firing.
Crazies from across the country have gone to that Facebook post and have called me every name in the book and threatened to come look for me, etc.
And it isn’t just a few people. These crybullies are going absolutely nuts!
Fascists doing what fascists do.
“It’s who we are, it’s what we do”, quoth their god the Fraud.
Obama’s mentor Bill Ayers organized violent riots and bombed the Pentagon.
Democrats approve of such violent thuggary.
The only reason they are pulling this is because of the corporate cowards who bowed to their will. This stuff should have stopped at the beginning with FBI visits for threats. Stern warnings would have stopped the majority of it.
