A group called MA 4 Trump was supposed to hold a get-together for supporters at JW's in Winthrop, but the restaurant canceled the meeting yesterday.
In a Facebook post, the restaurant wrote:
It has been brought to our attention that the event scheduled for tomorrow evening, which we have canceled, has caused divisiveness within our community.
We had no knowledge of what the event organizers intentions were other than being a fundraiser. It was never our intention to be embroiled in any controversy, and for that we are regretful.
The restaurant then added:
JW's is a community restaurant, a Winthrop restaurant. We are a tightly knit group of individuals from all nationalities, religions and personal prefrences.The event was not booked nor cancelled with malice. The negative feed back , phone calls and in person complaints on BOTH sides of this political event has caused us with careful consideration to remove ourselves.
One of the group's organizers is Dianna Ploss, who last year served as press secretary to anti-gay gubernatorial candidate Scott Lively and who organized a talk in Newton titled The U.S. Constitution and Sharia. Can they co-exist? She did that in her role as leader of the Boston chapter of the anti-Muslim Act for America.
On her own Facebook page, Ploss this morning accused "the Marxists" of getting the event canceled, but said a new event would be held at the same time nearby.
Back on JW's page, a Trump supporter accused the restaurant's owner of being "a coward" for canceling the event in a back room with less than 24 hours notice and refusing to return her phone calls. JW's replied:
The advertising of this event by the organization was not true to what was discussed with us at JW's. We hold ourselves accountable for any last minute cancelations but as previously stated the uproar this has caused with in the community and at the restaurant has swayed us to no longer allow the event to be held here.
Restaurant cancels reservations of Mass. group supporting President Trump
The left pitches a fit, throws a temper tantrum and the right is accused of being divisive.
If the restaurant was telling it like it is, they would’ve said, “Some triggered millenial called up screaming and we buckled like a belt.”
Bongino has had enough, his show today was pretty clear,
it is no longer the time to shut up and not rock the boat.. we have to call the left out on their bull droppings.
Republicans won’t do it. it’s up to us.
So if the left is saying this restaurant has the right to cancel this event,does that mean bakers and photographers have the right to refuse to work gay “weddings”?
Or do the rules only work one way?
These so called “restaurants” should stick to slinging their slop and stay the heck out of politics.
Depends on who's in power.
There ARE patriots standing for America in Massachusetts!
Good job taking it to the leftists.
This article is so full of propaganda, heavy with pejoratives.
mooslum hater? What’s the problem?
Tom Delay was literally arrested and convicted for campaign violations on a smaller scale than Antifa-Cortez. He was subsequently acquitted but I’m waiting for somebody in authority to get the ball rolling on the New York valley girl.
Leftists constantly spout off about the non-existent separation of church and state in the Constitution until it comes to Sharia. Then they suddenly find religion.
Yes, it’s well past time to expose the inconsistencies and illogic of the liberal position and stop letting them bully us into submission with semantics.
I thought that muzzies blowing up the WTC then going on and killing Americans would have been divisive enough.
You’ve answered your own question.
According to Leftists/Progressives, they only work one way.
However, they require that you pretend the rules are applied with an even hand.
All articles have an agenda. The liberal digs are apparent, at least to me. But I understand the restaurants position. What would any of us do ?
And yes, the battle does need to be fought on many fronts.
Handle it with a little humor, and make your point like Trump does works for Trump, but more power to those involved as they handle it their way.
And a reminder to all of us that we have to get involved. Anticipate the push back and your response.

As simple as that, huh? Maybe tomorrow someone will introduce another resolution in Congress that condemns this and other actions like it. Every group has the right of assembly and free speech, doesn’t it? Doesn’t that include all nationalities, religions and personal preferences? Their action should be a NO NO! Private business be ******! Everyone in this country has the right to whatever it is they wish, don’t they??
So another business can refuse service and won’t be up on charges by the civil rights minders because they’re oppressing the right people.
Time to revoke the civil rights laws altogether.
If Omar can be racist without Punishment than all can be racist.
Time to take the country back.
Maybe the organizers should have asked for a cake instead.
