Quote:Bartenders at a West Village hot spot served up discrimination — with a liberal twist — refusing to serve a customer because he was wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat, according to a lawsuit.

Greg Piatek, 30, an accountant from Philadelphia, claims he was snubbed and eventually 86’d by workers at The Happiest Hour on West 10th Street over his conservative fashion statement, popularized by Donald Trump on the campaign trail, he told The Post.

“Anyone who supports Trump — or believes what you believe — is not welcome here! And you need to leave right now because we won’t serve you!” Piatek claims he was told as he was shown the door by a manager.

The shake-up started when Piatek and two pals, after a visit to the 9/11 Memorial, ordered drinks at the posh tavern around 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 28.

A female bartender served Piatek a $15 jalapeño margarita and his pals beers. But when he tried to order a second round, a male bartender noticed his hat — and skipped them, he said.

One of Piatek’s pals pointed out it was their turn to be served, but the bartender scoffed. “Is that hat a joke?” the Manhattan Supreme Court suit claims.[…]

A manager said he spoke to the bar owner, and was told, “Anyone who supports Trump or believes what you believe is not welcome here. And you need to leave right now because we won’t serve you!” according to the suit.

What grounds would he have for a lawsuit?

There are two responses. 1) Everybody who ever had a negative experience there flood yelp and the other on-line reviews; or 2) Test their resolve by having a flood of people with Trump hats go in, filling every seat in the bar. So do they go a whole lunch hour with virtually no revenue? Are they going to call the police to eject 80% of the customers in the bar who aren't causing any trouble? That would probably get themselves arrested for filing a false police report.

We have defended all businesses to serve whoever they want, everytime one of these stories are presented.

It is the silence from the libturds is deafening.

Screaming like they are wetting their pants when Christians are persecuted over not baking a ***** wedding cake, but silent when it goes the other way.

So, what say you?
