Café That Kicked Out Fox News Host For Conservative Views Goes Out Of Business
Trending Politics News ^ | 2/19/24 | Chris Powell

Paradis Books & Bread, a book café located in North Miami, has closed down following a controversial decision to ask Fox News political analyst Gianno Caldwell to leave the establishment due to his conservative political beliefs.

Gianno Caldwell recounted the event during an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, expressing his disbelief and disappointment over being ostracized for his political stance. Caldwell explained, “I never thought I would make international news for being a Florida man kicked out of a restaurant because of my conservative values.” He detailed how the conversation turned uncomfortable when the café’s owner directly asked him to leave, stating that their political views did not align.

The incident quickly escalated as Caldwell took to social media to share his experience, which garnered significant attention, including 2.5 million views on Twitter. Caldwell described feeling “shell shocked” by the encounter.

"To our haters, we suppose congratulations are in order, so you can go ahead and stop reading now! But, to those who have loved us, supported our many changes, laughed with us, danced with us, and maybe even cried with us, we wanted to give you this parting explanation, as well as a wholehearted thank you…

As many of you who’ve followed us likely know, at the beginning of last year we had an incident with a Fox News anchor which resulted in being ceaselessly harassed by their followers, even to this day. After being targeted, we didn’t know if we would reopen again, and when we did, we knew we had to do our best to minimize potential harm to us and our community......"

Yada, Yada, Yada, Trump's fault, etc.

Since it is my understanding that Miami is booming economically, the restaurants food or service (or both)must have really sucked.

Conservatives do not physically attack leftist businesses. However, leftists feel free to use that excuse because their true believers have all bought into the media's narrative. Yes, we will refuse to frequent those businesses and we cheer when karma hits, but I know of no conservative that has burned down a building or slapped, punched, or shot a democrat employee because of politics.

They decided they only needed part of the population to support them so that’s all they got. They got right-sized as a result.

With all the restaurants in Miami, these whiners will be forgotten by tomorrow.

The odd thing is that for generations, booksellers were courteous to all patrons and deliberately stocked a wide range of books, including controversial ones and titles they personally disfavored. A pleasant and obliging manner toward customers and a love of books and ideas were foundational principles of retail bookselling. The Left gradually killed that off, retail bookstores declined, and the Left then whined that corporate greed had done bookstores in — even as they held the smoking gun in their own hands.

And the irony is, if anyone thinks FOX is conservative, they have oatmeal for brains. That means this place was beyond stupid.

Probably misgendered, too.

More than just a Republican, Gianno is a BLACK Republican. The Ds are most enraged by that combination.
