Hawaiian cafe backs down over ban on Trump voters
FoxNews ^ | Dec. 30, 2016 | Malia Zimmerman

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.”

Bake the d@&*Ed Cake. I wouldn’t tell him who I voted for. You never know what they might put into 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.

Good thing he didn’t turn down baking a cake for a gay wedding.

He’d really be in trouble

The vast majority of libtards don’t eat a classy places unless there’s a drive through and they don’t tip either. I’m betting his business fell way off.

Sorry dude. Some things you can't take back.

You're toast. Or maybe brioche as the case may be.

“This is my place and if I don’t want to serve a Trump person, I can do that,”

Wow.

I would love to see the BLM’s reaction to that statement.

This is yet another example of the difference between liberals and conservatives.

Consider the 2016 election. Conservatives disliked Hillary. Liberals disliked Trump, AND anyone who voted for Trump.

Conservatives view Hillary supporters as people who are just plain wrong. Liberals view Trump supporters as evil beings who must be shunned. That is not an insignificant difference.

Well he got a little free publicity. But if it had resulted in more business he would have left the sign up. He’s a dope. I’m a business owner for a service based business. If I were to mix up my politics with my business I would be out of business because I’d piss off part of my customer base. It’s just good business.
