So I Guess Businesses Can Refuse to Serve People Now?

“Last week we received a request to provide floral design services for an RNC fundraising event planned to take place in our city in mid-April, featuring Donald Trump and other prominent members of the Republican party,” FLWR said in a statement posted to Instagram. “We immediately declined this ‘opportunity,’ and we want to take this moment to publicly clarify our stance as small business owners in Nashville, Tennessee.”

“We would like to challenge others in the Nashville event industry to say no to taking money or jobs from the Republican party until they begin to make the changes to gun laws that most Americans are calling for.”

The post continued by blaming the Republican Party for the mass shooting committed by a transgender-identifying woman. “Our community has just lost seven people, including three young children, to yet another school shooting. At this moment I cannot ignore the work that the RNC has done to create this tragedy and so many others just like it.”


And then, right on cue, the standard Democrat Party talking point kicked in. “The Republican party not only refuses to enact change, but many members of the party have worked to pass legislation that makes this problem worse, like the recent changes to gun laws here in Tennessee,” the post continued. “The Republican Party has wasted taxpayer money and precious legislative will on banning drag shows, rather than assault rifles that are being used to murder children in their classrooms.”

So you see, the Republican Party is to blame because it’s trying to ban children from being exploited at sexualized drag shows instead of banning guns! How profound.

I would say the RNC should keep trying to purchase and if refused file a discrimination lawsuit.

But the loyal liberal media will call call the RNC names and make them the bad guys.

They do that anyway so theres ZERO reason for it to matter.

Go to the Courts, Go Full Throttle and Go Into the Debate Firing. ( Figuratively for now )

LOL, political affiliation is only a protected class in Washington DC.

Big change from a short time ago with the baker and the gay couple.
Protected Species.

I've been advising to take the Leftist Playbook and use it against them for decades. Unfortunately Conservatives, Libertarians and Constitutionalists all seem to give value to the idea "we are above that crude behavior" and smile and get rolled over.

The last Repubican that understood that was Lee Atwater and to a far lesser degree, Karl Rove. ( Rove wimped out )
 
Yes, generally speaking private businesses (even public access private businesses) can refuse to serve anyone they want for any reason they want other than a few specified reasons. It varies by jurisdiction, but most places don't prohibit discrimination in public accommodations based on, e.g., ideological views, political opinions or even political affiliation. A lot of jurisdictions don't even prohibit such discrimination in employment.

So in most places a restaurant, e.g., can hang a sign on the door that reads something like: If you voted for President Trump (or, of course, President Biden), you aren't welcome here. They can also refuse to serve people wearing red shirts or blue hats or because they aren't carrying a firearm - so long as such reasons aren't pretexts for discrimination based on the prohibited reasons.

Clearly Republicans should call for a boycott of this florist; leave nasty "reviews" on social media; find out where the owner lives and congregate en masse in front of their house all night screaming into a bullhorn; threaten the employees with violence and even death and make sure they know you know where their children go to school; assault them if you see them in public.

Let all Republicans know that if they see Democrats in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, they should get out and create a crowd. Push back on them. And tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.

Right? :)

Democrats are the epitome of hypocrisy.

That's the thing about mindless bullies - if you bully them back they run off crying to their Mommy. Use the exact same words they use and they melt into little puddles of angry impotent despair.

Unfortunately Democrats are pigs wallowing in the mud screaming profanity and violence, drawing a crowd, while Republicans stand on dry tidy ground not wanting to jump in and get their suits dirty. "Let's ignore them and not stoop to their level. Let's walk away with dignity. Let's take the high road and just condemn them. Maybe write them a strongly worded letter. Unless it will make them mad; then we should apologize."

And when someone comes along who's willing to jump in the mud and kick some mindless piggy ass, Republicans get all flustered and turn on that person. So they deserve to get a swirlie and stuffed in a locker. They deserve to have their lunch money stolen. It's like the retarded voters in Chicago and other hellscapes - they want to be abused.

The florist said Most Americans want more gun laws. I believe the florist is wrong.
If Most Americans wanted more gun laws the political suckbutts would certainly pass them.
That's what they do---read the public and vote for what they want. It's how they stay in office.
There are certainly places that want more gun laws, their democrats are pushing for more laws every day. then there are places that do not want more laws and their politicians are not going to lose their gravy trains pushing more.

Certainly it was not the RNC that created this mentally challenged freak that killed these people in their schools.
She was more than likely created by the liberals who want sane people to accept these sick freaks.

As for their not selling flowers to republicans, I am sure there are plenty of florists in Nashville who are not anxious to kill their business by making an ignorant political statement. Money is money no matter who spends it. Prostitutes, Garbage men, white trash and Black Lives matter all spend green money and any business who turns it down is just hurting themselves.

And there you go :yay: That should always be the response, regardless of ideology, but I still think we should turn the tables on them and do them like they do us.

Nothing new. Wasn't it Sarah Sanders and family turned away from The Red Hen restaurant in VA? LEO's have also been denied service.
