Fox News Contributor Kicked Out of Restaurant for the ‘Crime’ of Being Black and Conservative (Video)
RNN ^ | 01-22-2023 | Kira Davis

Gianno Caldwell is a Fox News contributor, author and activist. Raised on the south side of Chicago, Caldwell often credits his upbringing with helping him to be resilient and driven. When his teenage brother was murdered by random gunfire on a Chicago street corner one Friday morning last summer, Caldwell became a passionate spokesperson for justice. In particular, Caldwell has railed against the lax crime policies of liberal legislators and prosecutors in cities across the nation. He even testified in front of Congress recently, as someone who has been directly affected by the unchecked violence plaguing American cities.

Caldwell also happens to be black, and apparently the combination of his racial identity and his politics were too much for one North Miami restaurant owner. In an incident that calls to mind the bitter past of many black Americans who sacrificed their own lives and safety just for the right to eat in the same establishments as any other American, the owner of Paradis Books and Bread kicked out Caldwell and his dining companions, citing his politics as the problem.

The young author appeared on Fox News to discuss the incident. He told host Rachel Campos-Duffy the owner of the cafe had been listening in on his conversation with his friends, a group of people he was just trying to get to know in his new neighborhood.

Yesterday, we were having breakfast at this particular location which I had never been to. It was their suggestion to visit this particular place. One of the owners came over to the table and told us she had been listening to our conversation, we were not welcome there, and I said to her, I said, “Did I say something that was triggering to you?”

Write a review and let them know he treated you that way because you are black and this person is obviously a racist.

Owner with two bouncer ex-cons next to him:

Seems to me you be the possessor of two strikes against y’all. Enjoy your time in the gutter, bro.

Note: Owner is a black woman named Bianca Sanon.

How is this different from not wanting to bake a cake for a homosexual?

They can refuse service for politics. Political party is not a protected class.

You can discriminate against serve someone for their opinions. You cannot discriminate against them for their sexual orientation.

Now, here’s what we were talking about that was so problematic for this lady who happens to be white, I believe. I was talking to them, as they were getting to know me for the first time, about Fox News. They said how do you like you know working over at Fox News? Talking to them about my values. They said, are you a conservative? I said, yes. In fact, I have a book called Taken For Granted: How conservatism can win back the Americans liberalism failed. I talked to them about my brother. In fact, I was on Capitol Hill, just the other week, talking to members of Congress about violent crime in America and trying to get justice for my brother and other victims of violent crime. I also talked about progressive DAs and how they are exacerbating crime across the country.

This was so problematic to this lady that she told me that I needed to get out of her establishment.


That is what he said to trigger....................

Man, the libs sure stick together. Not only is the owner a POS coward, now requiring a password to access her site, Yelp has also blocked reviews of her dump.
