Judge: Bars are allowed to throw out Trump supporters
By Julia Marsh

A Manhattan judge ruled Wednesday that theres nothing outrageous about throwing the presidents supporters out of bars because the law doesnt protect against political discrimination.
Philadelphia accountant Greg Piatek, 31, was bounced from a West Village watering hole in January 2017, just after Trump took the oath of office, for wearing a Make America Great Again cap, according to his lawsuit over the incident.
Anyone who supports Trump or believes in what you believe is not welcome here! And you need to leave right now because we wont serve you! Piatek claims the staff of The Happiest Hour on West 10th Street told him after he and his pals complained about the rude service they were getting from a bartender.
So he sued in Manhattan Supreme Court, claiming the incident offended his sense of being American.

Piatek had sued for unspecified emotional damages, but the judge said the incident amounted to nothing more than a petty slight.
Here the claim that plaintiff was not served and eventually escorted out of the bar because of his perceived support for President Trump is not outrageous conduct, the judge ruled.
Liggieri said he plans to review the decision to determine whether or not to appeal.

Wow, he is a rough looking 31. I am 20 years older than he is and I look younger. I guess that is what hate does to you.
