After speaking with Eric Trump, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday called for stricter discipline against the Aviary server who allegedly spit on the son of President Donald Trump. Lightfoot called Tuesday night’s incident at the posh Fulton Market bar “repugnant” and said “this isn’t about politics, this is about civility.”
The server, only identified as a young woman, was placed on leave by Aviary’s parent company, the Alinea Group — the company known for acclaimed restaurants like Alinea and Next Restaurant. Law enforcement agents kept the server in custody for two hours on Tuesday night after she, as Eric Trump and the Trump Organization described to various media, spit in his face while he was customer at the upscale cocktail lounge. Eric Trump did not file charges against her. Lightfoot called Eric Trump “very gracious” for that decision. The mayor added that the Aviary should “take appropriate action against this employee.”
“We may not agree,” Lightfoot told reporters on Thursday. “And in my case I don’t agree with a lot of things that President Trump stands for. Our values are different. But you cross the line when you assault someone.”

Good for the Mayor. Credit where it’s due.
Good for her.
I think she saw the backlash that pinko Mollett prosecutor ran into so she decided to play it safe.
Seems like the server should have been FIRED. No matter who she spit on.
Where’s the Health Department in all of this? An employee launching bodily fluids around an eating establishment has to be a pretty big violation.
Uh, assault charges please.
I would never trust this restaurant to provide food for any person. Not a safe place to eat.
If their employees do this in public, it is hard to image what they do a customer’s food behind closed doors.
Except where they all say, “our values are different” meaning they do not have ANY values but it sounds good, doesn’t it?
Seems like the server should have been FIRED.
Probably would have been if she was in America.
What if people just walked into the restaurant, spit in the face of the hostess, and walked out?
Would the Left believe it’s a non incident?
Normal people throughout this nation need to go “on strike”, en masse.
A whole lot of the nonsense we’re witnessing these days would get shut down in a New York Minute with a modicum of organization and applied in a tactical sense. In fact it would be very simple.
Now, simple does not necessarily mean easy.
The howling and screeching by the usual suspects would be GLORIOUS. Trust Me.
The world has to return to civility.
Perhaps the diminutive mayor of Chicago can be the first Democrat to start the trend.
I salute her.
Now, those who gave to the fake GoFundMe scam are scum.
Why is the identity of the waitress being kept secret?
eric didn’t press charges and they let her go
———Normal people throughout this nation need to go “on strike”, en masse.-——
Don’t be silly....that would accomplish nothing....
So glad she did that! Good for her!
Democrats are scum.
Normal people throughout this nation need to go “on strike”, en masse.
