WaPo editorial board: Sarah Sanders 'should be allowed to eat dinner in peace'
The Hill ^ | 06/24/18 | Morgan Gstalter

The Washington Post editorial board defended White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Sunday after she was kicked out of a Virginia restaurant.

The “never-at-rest social media” has blurred the lined of public and private life, the newspaper’s board wrote.

“It wasn’t the first time recently that strong political feelings have spilled into what used to be considered the private sphere,” the editorial board wrote. “We understand the strength of the feelings, but we don’t think the spilling is a healthy development.”

Earlier this week, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen’s dinner at a Mexican restaurant in Washington, D.C., was interrupted by protesters.

The same thing happened days later to Trump’s top immigration adviser, Stephen Miller, who was called a “fascist” while dining at another Mexican restaurant.

“We nonetheless would argue that Ms. Huckabee, and Ms. Nielsen and Mr. Miller, too, should be allowed to eat dinner in peace,” the editorial board wrote.

The editorial came the day after Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) called on her supporters to continue confronting Trump officials in public.

Well, they have toned down the Impeach! rhetoric, and quite possibly the Moonbats have figured out that their viciousness may well backfire and they will be seen for what they are: intolerant, vile, nasty bastards!

Yup. If you wore a MAGA cap, they’d put ground glass in your soup.

What’s notable, to me at least, is the the Post appears to be the only entity on the Left calling for restraint.

Everyone else—DIM politicians, media personalities, other publications—seem perfectly fine with harrassing Trump supporters up to, and including, President Trump himself.

Gee, I'm soooooooo impressed the Washington Post thinks Trump supporters should be allowed to eat in a Restaurant. What's next? They don't think our children should be put in cages with pedophiles?

The Washington Post helped gin up hatred of everyday American citizens and this ‘support’ is too little too late.

The dems have spent the better part of the last 40 year taking digs at the political right....SNL, comedians, late night talk shows.....you name it. We never had an answer. Weve also been called racists, homophobic, xenophiles, etc etc. again, we never really had an answer. In short, our political discussion and thoughts were always undermined by an effective campaign of mockery and insults from the left.

Everyone sort of just got used to this trick bag. The left liked us being in it and the right didnt know how to get out of it......And then came President Trump....a man who figured out how to give it back every bit as good as he gets it. The left has been put on it’s heels by Trumps effectiveness and they hate it. Us folks on the right, though at times a little uncomfortable with Trumps antics, love his fighting spirit. We finally have someone who knows how to fight the machine!!!!

The left is now at a desperate loss.....being effectively mocked and insulted on a daily basis is something they are not used to.....and somehow seem to feel they don’t deserve the same treatment they’ve been giving us for many years now. As a result of Trumps effectiveness, they are getting desperate, lashing out, even tip-toeing going towards violence, and generally making assses out of themselves.

It’s funny but it also seems like it could get dangerous. Dems don’t like getting their asses kicked politically and have gotten especially nasty lately.

Between Red Hen and Mad Maxine I don’t think it has been an up day for the November fortunes of the democrats.

Yup. For one thing, they know Rush will utterly destroy them on this tomorrow. No one gleefully nukes ridiculous liberal hypocrisy better than The Maha.

Well, the Compost is partly owned by Bezos who likely wants customers for his stuff. Maybe he had decided that Michael Jacksons motto of keeping politics out of business “Because Republicans by Shoes Too,” might be a policy to keep in mind.

I think some of the left is realizing that the mob can turn on them as well if they encourage this mentality. Leftist politicians and media have essentially stirred up a mob. Even though it’s made up mostly of middle-aged white ladies who are into yoga and organic foods, opportunistic black men looking for a political career, and gay university professors and adjuncts, its a mob nonetheless.

I think some in the leftist media and politics are afraid that they have lost control of it, and they know that at any moment, the mob could turn on them and they’d be unemployed and being kicked out of restaurants by the waitstaff.

Plus, it is remotely possible that there are some decent people among them who have been intimidated but suddenly realize that they should be adults and oppose this high-schoolish type behavior.

They should all be eating at the Trump Hotels. Actually, a fun project would be to open a conservative/LEO friendly restaurant/bar in DC.

I think that people should make reservations for parties of 6, 8, or 10 for dinner.

Prime dining time reservations.

Show up and be paying customers.....but order only water and request to split a couple of side salads amongst the group.

Tell them that it is no problem to pay the ‘split charge’.

Of course, leaving no gratuity

It’s all legal

“Sarah is being persecuted because she’s a bible-believing Christian conservative.”

While that’s an undeniable fact, she’s also be persecuted because she is, without doubt, the most effective spokesperson the Trump Administration has. She is ALWAY a lady, but she’s a great “cat herder” at the press conferences. Just ask Jim Acosta.

This is going to get real in a hurry if some angry patron takes offense to the snowflakes pulling this crap.
