An upmarket restaurant in Portland has faced a violent backlash after seating a group of white supremacists.
Police were called twice to Clarklewis, an LGBTQ+-owned restaurant in the Central Eastside, on Sunday after protesters confronted the diners and restaurant staff.
The restaurant said its staff had no idea about the group’s alleged political affiliations when they arrived for a private brunch.(snip)
Rogers made clear that the restaurant does not support white nationalism and said staff would not knowingly host a group with those beliefs.
Rogers said one female employee quit on the spot after the confrontation, while other staff members left for the rest of the day.
The restaurant was subsequently closed for Sunday night’s dining service. A private wedding event for a former employee scheduled for later that evening was canceled.(snip)
Protesters were present outside but declined to give interviews. It was unclear whether those individuals had been involved in the earlier property damage.
Rogers said the business cannot realistically investigate the political beliefs of every customer who walks through its doors.
'We don’t know,' he said. 'We don’t know who’s walking through the door.'

You’d think white supremacists would go to a rib joint or somewhere with chicken fried steak and PBR on tap.
Misleading headline “staff served white supremacists for brunch” unless the cookbook was To Serve Man.
Probably moderate Republicans.
From now on full CIA and IA security background checks, driving record, police records and permanent high school record supplied by the principal will be scanned for each diner before being allowed to be seated.
Restaurateur: "Once that would have taken days but thanks to AI and the enormous data center down the street we can look into every minute of people's lives within five minutes."
Jared Taylor, editor of the far-right magazine American Renaissance, was billed as speaking at the event which activists have linked to the restaurant
What We Believe
Race is an important aspect of individual and group identity. Of all the fault lines that divide society — language, religion, class, ideology — it is the most prominent and divisive. Race and racial conflict are at the heart of some of the most serious challenges the Western World faces in the 21st century.
The problems of race cannot be solved without adequate understanding. Attempts to gloss over the significance of race or even to deny its reality only make problems worse. Progress requires the study of all aspects of race, whether historical, cultural, or biological. This approach is known as race realism.
We also believe that whites, like all racial groups, have legitimate interests that must be defended. The defense of those interests is white advocacy. We seek to advance only those interests that we recognize and would defend for all other racial groups. We seek no advantages as whites — only the expression of preferences for our own people and culture that are taken for granted by people of other races but denied to us.
How did Antifa know they were white supremacists?
But he’s okay with antifa attacking his restaurant? I doubt the antifa crowd can afford his eatery so he deserves to go out of business.
How about refusing to seat Hillary and Schumer? Hillary and Schumer each lovingly hugged US Senator Robert Byrd, an officer in the state Ku Klux Klan for decades before he resigned. Bill Clinton and others honored Byrd at his funeral and memorial.
Byrd rose to the title of Kleagle and Exalted Cyclops of his local chapter. Was in charge of greatly increasing the KKK membership and checking on loyalty to the Klan. "Byrd wrote a letter in 1946 to the group's Imperial Wizard stating "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia."" 2001 interview quote: "There are white n#gg&%rs. I've seen a lot of white n#%@%rs in my time. I'm going to use that word."
Ha. Imagine a vegan like Talarico. He’d be throwing up in no time.
I doubt the antifa crowd can afford his eatery

evidently, they have to get arrested first.
They seem to want everyone coming to eat at the restaurant to show their red communist party card
Strange Antifa knew that the crowd was supposedly white supremacists.
How’d they know that?
Well they certainly earned their white supremacist label. That reads like something from 1926. Not 2026.

Images of the flyer do not appear to show where it was scheduled to take place.
Local Antifa activists claimed they discovered the event was to take place at Clarklewis.

The LGBTQ-owned[4] restaurant has used meat from the bison ranch Rain Shadow El Rancho in Scio, Oregon.[5]
I know.
Call out the troops to reincorporate Portland OR into the union. They need a little reconstruction 1865 style.
The days of peaceful dialogue is over. The tolerant left is absolutely intolerant of any deviance from the leftist ideology.
With fava beans and a nice Chianti.
Way past time that antifa and their violence be met with greater violence until they cease to exist.
