A Richmond, Virginia, bookstore owner said he called the police on Saturday after former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon was confronted in his store.
Nick Cooke, owner of Black Swan Books, told The Richmond Times-Dispatch that a woman called Bannon a piece of trash.
The woman then left the store after Cooke said he called 911.
Steve Bannon was simply standing, looking at books, minding his own business. I asked her to leave, and she wouldnt. And I said, Im going to call the police if you dont, and I went to call the police and she left, Cooke said. And thats the end of the story.
Bannon grew up in Richmond, the newspaper noted.
The Richmond Police Department confirmed the call was made but the call was canceled before officers responded.
We are a bookshop. Bookshops are all about ideas and tolerating different opinions and not about verbally assaulting somebody, which is what was happening, Cooke said.
Bannon joins a growing list of political figures associated with President Trump who have been confronted in public in recent weeks.
Protesters in Kentucky followed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to his car while he was leaving a Louisville restaurant on Saturday, threatening to vote him out of office.
Others, including White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, also have been confronted by protesters for their association with the Trump administration and its policies.
Had to be a Trump supporter. Otherwise, all bets off.
I disagree. Any book store owner should be more than willing to defend his clientele by calling the police on a rabid confronter. The owner is simply enforcing a neutral “no histrionics” policy.
The media is responsible for flaming these protests. The media is stupid enough to think apply ing terrorist tactics will help their “cause”. It won’t. The backlash will follow in the Fall mid-term elections when Dems lose more seats. Expect Leftists to really come unglued then.
“Soros and friends are likely behind this.”
Definitely a manufactured uprising, and well organized. I’m thinking Soros, Obamas, and Clinton Foundation are funding it. Obama has been too quiet. As with children, when they’re too quiet, something bad probably is happening.
Always a woman. Hysteria seems to prefer infecting women. Anyone have any idea why?

That’s why we should repeal the Nineteenth Amendment.
Well that escalated quickly :)
And this is what we should all do first when assault verbally or physically by a leftist. Call 911, have the person or people arrested and press charges.

Keep it up, you crazed lefties. Even the mushy middle, low information voters will awaken to how evil you are.
This seems to be a replay of the period 1968-1972, when the protesters and hell-raisers generated millions of votes for their bête noire Richard Nixon.
Apparently she was alone. No danger. Time to engage. He should have asked her when was the last time she got laid.
Ive been a bodyguard. Theyre expensive.
Me too. As I recall I got $100 an hour. And the rule was the principal did what I said when I said it or I was gone on the spot. Lots of folks didnt like that.
What do you mean I cant use the restroom by myself?
Sir, anyone could be in there. My job is to keep you alive until youre home. You do want to stay alive dont you?

Smart owner.
Sorry bud...only if we ban crazed lib hysterical males from voting, too.
I’m not crazed nor liberal nor prone to hysteria. I am well-educated in traditional American principles, a Christian woman and a life-long conservative.
Your “solution” - which will never happen anyway and is an irrelevant, cheap shot at females, gratuitously - is not a solution but simply hot air.
These people are demon possessed.

Being a woman I think it might be in our genetic make up. For instance, if someone were to try and hurt my kids or grandkids I would show hysteria like you’ve never seen. On the other hand, these women confronting those who know and support President Trump could get their faces smashed in and I wouldn’t give a crap. Don’t get me started on the feminists.

I doubt if Maxine Waters anticipated that small business owners might object to angry losers harassing their customers.
I’m in Richmond, will pay them a visit tomorrow.
