Conservative columnist praises restaurant that threw Sarah Huckabee Sanders out: decent human beings should shame and shunMARTIN CIZMAR

-snip- (about the Virginia restaurant incident)
But in a new column about the lost art of shunning, conservative Washington Post writer Jennifer Rubin says the restaurant was right to eject Huckabee Sanders.
In the wake of the Trump administrations decision to lock migrant children in cages away from their parents, it is both natural and appropriate for decent human beings to shame and shun the practitioners of such a policy. Rubin does allow that its a slippery slope.
The notion of shunning or excluding or heckling can devolve into philosophical hair-splitting as to whether someone has engaged in normal public service or whether theyve strayed outside the bounds of decent behavior, she writes. Each to his own method of expressing disdain and fury, I suppose.
But she thinks the restaurant owner was rightand that people like Huckabee Sanders and Kirstjen Nielsen should face consequences.
If you dont want to provoke wrath, dont continue to work for someone whose cruel and inhumane treatment of others rivals the internment of U.S. citizens and noncitizens of Japanese descent during World War II.

OP
Rubin is sane and rational. That's why she's effectively become a Democrat now.

Rubin is yet another conservative trying to distance herself and her party from Trump cult.
