More details....
According to multiple witnesses and Joseph’s own account, a woman who worked at the restaurant walked up to him and started pointing at his hat, signaling for the other employees to come over.
“Her finger was literally on top of his head, we were all looking at her like ‘what is happening?’” one witness told The Daily Wire. “She was pointing at him, calling her other coworkers, telling them to look at this guy wearing a Make America Great Again hat.”
At that point, approximately a dozen or so employees approached the table and began making comments about the hat, with some saying they wanted to punch Joseph in the face. Witnesses also allege that some of the employees also referred to him as a “n**ger” in their conversations among each other.
“So then all the employees started standing there, saying things out loud, like, ‘I’m going to knock his head in so hard his hat’s going to come off,” the witness continued.
One of the employees gave Joseph intimidating looks, clenching his fists and making hand gestures that appeared to indicate that he was ready to engage in a fistfight.
“He got behind me and another coworker came by and they were staring at each other and he fist bumped him and then he started looking at me, balling his fists, smacking his fists, trying to scare me,” Joseph told The Daily Wire.
Another witness told The Daily Wire that the group of employees looked like a lynch mob and they couldn’t stand to see a black man wearing a hat that showed support for the president.
Employees at the restaurant continued to mock and intimidate Joseph after he got up to use the restroom.
“I got up and went to the restroom, my girlfriend followed me, and as we were walking back, a group of [the employees] came out from the back and they just started clapping and yelling, and just screaming things at me,” Joseph says.

So, Cheesecake Factory allows this low-life mentality to take over and represent their brand?
Fire these thugs.
“...you may have to observe certain steps to avoid financial costs for them getting unemployment.”
I don’t know how it is now, but back in the day you could only get unemployment if you were laid off due to lack of work. You got nothing if fired.
Somebody ought to send this story to Hannity or Tucker Carlson.
No mention of anyone coming to his assistance. Wish I’d been there.
I seriously hope this guy becomes filthy rich from this and we see him on the campaign trail in 2020! MAGA!
Fire them all!
Response from Alethea Rowe, Senior Director of Public Relations at The Cheesecake Factory:
“No guest should ever feel unwelcomed in one of our restaurants and we are taking this matter very seriously. Upon learning of this incident, we immediately apologized to the guests in person. We are conducting an investigation and will take the appropriate corrective action.”
Shortly after this report was published, The Cheesecake Factory announced that “the individuals involved in the incident have been suspended pending the results of our investigation.”

Yes, I hope he makes a bazillion dollars and that POTUS gives him a call.
So will Gayle King on CBS This Morning lament and talk about this for 15 minutes like she did on the Star Bucks folks?
Eugenior Joseph, 22, was reportedly dining with his girlfriends family at the Dadeland Mall location of the restaurant on Mothers Day. His MAGA hat allegedly drew the attention of a female staff member, who gathered her co-workers to confront him, a witness told the site. The witness further claims about a dozen of those employees circled his table, pointing fingers.
A camera phone video is a must in such a situation, to get the bastards fired. Thanks DFG.
Absolutely!!!!!
Otay spanky!
Please agree with me that we are not any longer in a country with freedom of speech and freedom of political assembly.
If I am wrong, let’s test it. I’m not going first.
White haired pro-Trump man on the ground after being punched and kicked in Berkeley. Polite young woman giving her pro-conservative answers to the local TV camera and newsman when a leftist suddenly rushed up and tear gassed her in the face with mace. No conservative speakers scheduled at U of Michigan and mostly elsewhere due to “safety concerns”. I’ll stop now.
We’ll leave it at that.
Partly exaggerating but there is some truth in what I claimed. Freedom you aren’t permitted to use isn’t freedom.
I just tweeted this article to Cheesecake Factory(@cheesecake) and told them I won’t eat at their restaurants ever again.
I suggest everyone with a Twitter and/or FB account do the same thing. We need to fight these liberals using their own playbook.
However this turns out, I'm interested in what they're going to do about allowing MAGA hats in their restaurants.
Yes, your honor. I WAS in fear for my safety.
When they approached me as a mob and surrounded my table, I stabbed one with a knife to provide an escape route for myself and companions.
And what difference would it make? Wrong is wrong is wrong, whether it's whites on blacks, blacks on whites, yellows on browns, whatever.
Let's not make this into a race issue. It sounds like a bunch of young hipster snowflakes, who usually work at these types of places, doing their best to shame those who fall outside the "group-think" mentality that has infested our public schools.
Now there’s a soul mate...
What is it with the restaurant/fast food industry and their proclivity to hire Leftists jackasses?
It does my heart good to see a Black man I could sit down and have a beer with, that would grasp politics from a sane viewpoint.
Kudos to him...
