Black restaurateur says appearance with Trump was a 'plea' to Biden that she is struggling
Fox News ^ | May 4, 2024 | Charles Creitz

A vegan cafe owner in Milwaukee who recently spoke beside former President Trump at a Waukesha rally told Fox News that her remarks were a plea to the person she voted for in 2020 — President Biden — to understand the plight of struggling business owners like herself.

Shana Gray said that since her appearance, it has been an "eventful" time, which host Laura Ingraham reported included messages of hate and at least one case of a person with differing political beliefs "storm[ing]" her cafe.

"I just pretty much put a plea out there to the administration of which I voted for to let them know that I am a struggling business owner," Gray said Friday.

"I'm just looking for a change to pretty much help me and people of my community. Understand, my cafe was created to be a community space to provide not just good vegan food, but a space for people to come — a very safe space for people to come and have conversations of things and topics that are affecting them."

Gray said customers at Gray Jett, which is on Marquette University's campus, have discussed the way they are feeling inflation, and how they "don't know about tomorrow" in the realm of making spending decisions on gas, groceries and necessities.

She said the Trump rally allowed her a platform to spread those messages from her customers herself, adding that the commonality of feeling squeezed by the economic malaise transcends race and ethnicity.

If she is going to appear with DJT she needs to stick with DJT. Saying it was only to "send a message" to FJB and she is really a Biden voter just shows her to be two-faced.

She needs to get out and tell black voters how they have been screwed by FJB. Every single one of them is feeling the economic problems.

I wonder how much blowback this person has experienced from the happy slaves still on the plantation?

And what good will a plea to Biden do?

Biden will do nothing to undo the damage that he has done and is continuing to do, no matter how many people of color sing the blues to him.

With Trump there is a chance. With Biden, there is only the destruction of our country to look forward to, and tyranny it its wake.

Check out the prices at McDonald’s.

I think a Filet-o-Fish sandwich alone was $5.15 at the last McDonald’s I was in.

Fauci’s plandemic killed it. He out his life savings into opening the business and growing it, only to have the legs cut out from under him a year later.

This - THIS - right here and what was done to tens of thousands of businesses like his makes me see red.

Sadly for her, she’s probably no longer black enough to suit Mr. Biden.

“I’m just looking for a change to pretty much help me and people of my community…”

She got the change she voted for. She clearly wasn’t happy with the economy during Trumps presidency or the historically low rate of black unemployment and she voted for change.Done and done.

It has to do with where you are. A Detroit HS buddy and I were in Huntsville AL, we opened some double doors to walk into an establishment and we both stopped, all we saw were black faces. If this would have been Detroit we’d quickly unassed the area. But we realized it was the South so we entered and had no issues.

This woman deserves to lose her business. She voted for the destruction of the entire country. She should receive no sympathy and no quarter. We are in a fight for our very survival.

Any vegan cafe owner is by definition a struggling business owner. She would have done just as well yelling at Lake Michigan than imploring Biden.

Translation:
“As a life-long Democrat voter, I’m begging Biden to help us. He will surely recognize that I will vote for him again, if he just gives a sign of hope to our 110 year old Democrat controlled community.

“If he does not, I will understand that he is very busy and will get to it as soon as possible - I have faith in him and will vote for him again.”

However, opening up a vegan restaurant which appeals to a small group, and then highlight black owned, there is a limited customer base.

A niche niche business with a very limited potential clientele.

I’ve been to places to eat in my travels where they probably only had a handful of white people as customers all year. Far from having any problems, I was treated extremely well because I made the choice to go there.

I think you're correct. She sounded sane when she was talking with Trump. Now she sounds scared OF DEMOCRATS who have threatened her for *gasp* talking to that evil monster Trump.

Honestly, why appeal to moron Joe. The RATs would prefer she get on welfare and sit home, get fat and vote RAT.

They really have no love for black people other than their votes. They will lie and promise better than pork and beans but the black people will get nothing other than crumbs and will always be treated as poor underachievers who need rich white RATs to help them.

I just pretty much put a plea out there to the administration of which I voted for.

Got her first lesson in karma.
