Morton's Restaurant Defending Kavanaugh Leads to Spike in Fake Reservations

Thousands of people have been making fake reservations at Morton's steakhouse after the restaurant defended conservative Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade last month.

Abortion rights protesters in D.C. learned that Kavanaugh was having dinner at Morton's and gathered outside the restaurant on Wednesday night, forcing the Supreme Court justice to exit out a back door.

While the court has yet to comment on Kavanaugh's behalf regarding the incident, a representative for Morton's wrote in a statement to Politico: "Honorable Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh and all of our other patrons at the restaurant were unduly harassed by unruly protestors while eating dinner at our Morton's restaurant. Politics, regardless of your side or views, should not trample the freedom at play of the right to congregate and eat dinner. There is a time and place for everything. Disturbing the dinner of all of our customers was an act of selfishness and void of decency."

Abortion Rights Activists Protest Against Supreme Court Thousands booked fake reservations at a Morton's after the restaurant defended Brett Kavanaugh. Above, pro-choice activists gather at a park prior to a protest outside the house of Kavanaugh on September 13, 2021, in Chevy Chase, Maryland.

In response to the restaurant's statement, thousands of people began booking fake reservations at the steakhouse.

Entrepreneur William LeGate, in a thread on Twitter, posted a screenshot of a reservation booking, writing, "One of my followers just DM'd me a screenshot of their confirmation for a party of 8 tonight[.] I have a feeling there will be many empty Morton's this weekend…"

Easy fix: Require a ≥$50.00 deposit for booking a reservation, deducted from the tab upon actually dining.

Have they done the fake negative reviews yet? How about the death threats?

It’s only going to get worse, and our side will just sit back and play nice. So many people and businesses are about to be damaged.

All Republicans should choose between an “I’m afraid” or a “Kick me” sign.

Ask for party registration number. If dem don’t let them in your business. They are destroyers of life.

“our side will just sit back and play nice“

I agree with that. Time to find a new side… pretty obvious.

........”It’s only going to get worse, and our side will just sit back and play nice”.......

Likely we’ll hear more of these leftist thugs pulling their pranks - as well the Demorat leadership encouraging it as we’ve seen and heard. But I don’t think we’re just sitting back and playing nice, rather we’re sitting back waiting until this all backfires on them - and it most assuredly will. ...We’ve seen it happn several times now....every time we see them exposed more and more.

Anyone not making them afraid and kicking their asses is effectively wearing those signs themselves.

This isn’t going to be a popular opinion around here, but Morton’s did Justice Kavanaugh a solid by getting him out of there.
Since Morton’s was bought by Landry’s (Bubba Gump’s, Houlihan’s, Rainforest Cafe) it has Golden Corral quality food at Four Season’s prices.
You LITERALLY couldn’t pay me to eat there.
