they have the legal right to refuse service.

"NO BLACKS Republicans allowed"

You OK with that?

I thought the Civil Rights Act of 1964 put an end to that type of discrimination........

race, religion, nationality, sexual proclivities, and ability are the things you cannot discriminate against. I probably missed a few.

You would think so, but you’d be wrong. It put an end to discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, sex or national origin. Discrimination on the basis of political beliefs or government employment are not covered. So the restaurant’s owner was within her rights to refuse service to the Sander’s party. But was it a wise business decision? Was it a civil thing to do? I think the owner and staff are going to rue the day they pulled this stunt.

I'm not ok with it, but it's not illegal to my knowledge in most areas:

The federal Civil Rights Act protects people from discrimination based on race, color, sex, class and religion, but not political views. A Manhattan Supreme Court judge threw out the case of a Trump supporter who sued a New York bar for not serving him in January 2017, on the grounds that political beliefs aren’t protected under the state’s laws. The D.C. Human Rights Act, however, does protect people from discrimination based on their political views.

D.C., California, and Seattle don't allow political discrimination, but I don't think there are laws in place in most of the country. If you can point me to them, I'd like to see them.

Political affiliation is not a protected class under any of the anti-discrimination laws.
