Democrat Vice-Presidential nominee Kamala Harris' very bad week just got a lot worse after a P.R. disaster in South Florida.

Earlier, we reported how Harris was confronted by dozens of "Hispanics for Trump" protesters upon her arrival to the airport, who held up signs saying "No Communista!" and forcing her to alter her motorcade route:

Then Kamala made an embarrassing gaffe to Hispanic business owners on live TV looking forward to a "Harris Administration, together with Joe Biden" which became a national joke all day on Twitter:

Now, in the latest Florida mess, Harris visited a Venezuelan restaurant in Doral -- unannounced -- and instead of boosting the Biden campaign with South Florida voters, it became a local news disaster.

The angry restaurant owner said that Kamala was "not welcome" at Amaize Latin Flavors, and furious customers were even calling for a boycott, until they realized that the owner was on their side.

The customers first thought the restaurant owner had invited Kamala to the restaurant. They knew her to be a Democrat/Socialist and were furious at the owner, UNTIL the owner made it clear that he also knew who Kamala was, and No, he did not want here visiting there either.

Send your people out to do research, Kamala. At very least make a phone call and see how the owner reacts. Take nothing for granted, just because this is a Latino Owned business.
Got it now?

“I have a Venezuelan neighbor.

They don’t like Democrats.....................”

That’s encouraging to hear. It’s not at all surprising.

I truly hope BLM and antifa don’t show up to burn the place down and murder the owners.

That’s their MO.

(And if they do, the owners are armed to the teeth)

If this was just a meal perhaps with family and friends, then it would be analogous to what happened to Sarah Sanders and a crass thing to do.

But it sounds like Kamala Harris just showed up and wanted to use this guy’s restaurant as a campaign photo op. Did Harris’s campaign people coordinate with the restaurant owner ahead of time to use his restaurant in this way? If not, then I think he has good reason to object.

The representative of the owners makes it clear in the interview. He says that the restaurant does not get involved in politics, and that he understands that some of the stakeholders in the business are not supportive of Kamala Harris. He made it clear that they would have told her not to come to their restaurant if her campaign had asked them in advance.

His most important point was that they are respectful to everyone, and do not want their business used for political purposes. He sounds like a smart guy.

Many Venezuelans in Florida are in Florida because they are refugees from the Communists that took over their country. They learned how bad socialism is the hard way, and they aren't about to support any leftists here.

I can tell you how.
Most white people today DESPISE what they have and who they are.
Rarely do I meet anyone who doesn’t feel guilty for what they have and who they are.
It is unreal.
Rate that you meet anyone today proud of their own successs especially if they are white.
That is how they lead the polls.
Ask those you work with and are around you how they feel about the nice stuff they have and you will se.
Those attitudes make me SICK.

In the news clip the reporter said they asked the Biden campaign about the visit and they refused to comment.

Thanks for the clarification. I have a friend who left Venezuela just after Hugo took over.

They won’t get it. They think you are too stupid to think for yourself.

I know several and some in my family who don’t.
Problem is most white people today wish they were living in Venezuela.
That is our problem.

The video showed her mostly trying to talk with customers/staff, not sitting down to eat.

“that was NO gaffe. They are priming the country for it.”

Absolutely. When I heard her, she was clearly reading a prepared script, it flowed perfectly, she never missed a beat. It was a, “wink wink nudge nudge” to the RAT base that “I’ll be in charge; not Joe.”

My Venezuelan relative came to the US (legally) to escape the disaster that country is. They despise people that advocate for socialism but don’t call it that to try to trick people. They have said it is similar to what happened in Venezuela.

Guess you meant ammo, but amo, Latin for love works well too.

Bad Headline: Should read “DISASTER: Uninvited Kamala Harris Visits Florida Latino Restaurant - Owner Says She Was ‘Not Welcome,’ Customers Furious At Harris Too! (Video)”

How can these people be ahead in the polls?

They are not ahead in the polls. If any of this polling was correct, we would be looking at a second term for HILLARY! They are trying to depress turn out for Trump. Ain't gonna happen.

“Pee pads/Knee pads 2020”

Good one.
The jokes do write themselves, don’t they.
