... Hartman said that during the time the restaurants were open, employees and patrons were harassed by people who took issue with the politics of Kris Kobach, the controversial politician who lost his bid to become Kansas governor last November with Hartman as his running mate. Kobach, the former Kansas Secretary of State, is now a Republican U.S. Senate candidate.

From the first day the restaurants opened, Hartman said, people were writing obscene messages on menus, spitting on his employees, urinating on employees’ cars and shouting at people who went into the restaurant that they should eat somewhere else.

“We decided it was best for all of us if we just closed them and took our equipment and went elsewhere,” Hartman said. “It’s almost beyond belief.” ...

“writing obscene messages on menus, spitting on his employees, urinating on employees’ cars and shouting at people”

In other words typical progs.

Not all that different than going to greasy spoons in the 'Dotte.

Too bad the progs who spit on employees were not arrested and prosecuted and those who were vandalizing cars wer not caught on surveillance cameras and similarly prosecuted. Don’t know if there was any push back against the Left, but there needed to be.

But if you punch one of them in the face, you’ll go to jail.

Might teach ‘em though.

Frankly, I’m surprised the Wichita Eagle is running a story sympathetic to republicans. They are as pro commie as any left wing newspaper and partially responsible for the fact that Kansas has a Democrat governor and Wichita has a new Marxist mayor.

Kobach came to prominence over his hardline anti-illegal immigration views and his involvement in the diffusion of high-profile anti-immigration ordinances in various American towns. Kobach is also known for his calls for stronger voter ID laws in the United States and a Muslim registry. He has made claims about the extent of voter fraud in the United States that studies and fact-checkers have concluded are false or unsubstantiated.

As Secretary of State of Kansas, Kobach implemented some of the strictest voter identification laws in the United States and fought to remove nearly 20,000 registered voters from the state’s voter rolls. Following considerable investigation and prosecution, Kobach secured nine convictions for voter fraud; all were cases of double voting.

Either get RICO act prosecutions against the perps, or bring in some muscle to explain things to them. When there's no more recourse to law, what remains is recourse to lawlessness.

I don’t recall this making national headlines. There certainly would have been huge headlines if the GOPs who’d been kicked out of liberal restaurants had done half of this.

...that studies and fact-checkers have concluded are false or unsubstantiated.

Who will fact check the fact checkers?

Because if non-biased studies were actually done, they'd find that the mainstream fact checkers and academic studies were "false and unsubstantiated," and used as tools to promote a particular political narrative.
