A business owner who posted a sign on the entrance of his eccentric Italian café in downtown Honolulu banning President Elect Donald Trump supporters, has removed the sign one day after FoxNews.com broke a story about the severe policy.
“If you voted for Trump you cannot eat here! No Nazis,” declared owner Robert Warner on a bright yellow, handmade sign, which he taped to his Café 8/12’s front glass door.
"This is my place and if I don't want to serve a Trump person, I can do that," he told Hawaii News Now on Wednesday, one day after the FoxNews.com report generated thousands of adverse posts in the story comment section as well as on Yelp, Twitter and Facebook.
While Warner claims business has been better than ever since the story went viral in news media across the world, he took the notice down on Wednesday, telling Hawaii News Now: "If somebody came in and said, 'Hey, I know you can't tell who I voted for, but I voted for Trump, would you let me eat?' I would say, 'Sure, if you're nice with me and I'm nice with you and you like my food, sit down, no problem.”

I wouldn’t eat there. They may do something to your food.
This is my place and if I don’t want to serve a Trump person, I can do that,”

This used to be a free country, but now if you don’t want to make a cake for a gay wedding you are driven into bankruptcy. Same thing would have happened here if someone didn’t point that out to him.
Actually, most conservatives/libertarian leaning folks would have defended his right to run his business any way he chose but would have also chosen to take their dining dollars elsewhere, which is how it should work! No one would have sued him - they would have just waited until his restaurant went under and then probably bought it cheap and started a great new little restaurant.
Only liberals resort to filing lawsuits against honest entrepreneurs because it’s the only way they can “win” their battles and force people to accept their views since they have no desire or ability to actually convince people using logic or reason!
I don’t like the thought of people putting feces or spitting in my food, I think I will just find a better restaurant for my meal.
Imagine if he’d said “This is my place and if I don’t want to serve a n***er or a fag, I can do that.”
BOYCOTT !!!!!
The slob crapped in his own nest. . . . No way any Trump supporter will patronize that POS establishment. Saw the cat on TV and he truly is messed up, wouldn’t dare eat in that craphole
I’ve eaten there. Food is pretty good, service is awful.
It’s a mom and pop place.
I always thought they were pretty decent people
He’s not very nice to his wife, talks down to her in front of customers and orders her about. I always felt sorry for her so I avoided eating there because of that.
Seems like he might have some emotional problems.
IMO, he should be able to turn away anyone he wants - as long as others get the same freedom. But as long as that is denied to people on the right, the ctrl-Left needs to be held to their own standards.
Go there and tell him you hid a lava rock from the beach of Pali in his stinking cafe.
I’d order it, but take it home and examine it closely -— with witnesses, and a camera.
It would be fun to ban Obama voters from using the same bathrooms as Trump voters.
If you are a lib, why would you eat there supporting so much hate. It’s not who you are. He doesn’t reflect your values.
Wear your Trump shirt, go in, order, let them spit in your food and walk out.
HAR! He’s a bully!
I hope you left a note.
This is one stupid restaurateur. How exactly was he to determine a diner had voted for Trump?
