Florida snowflake MAGAt kicked out of Tiki bar for ignoring "NO HATS" sign, cries "discrimination"



https://www.rawstory.com/2019/03/trump-supporter-cries-discrimination-kicked-florida-tiki-bar-ignoring-no-hat-sign/

Mark Marlow went with his girlfriend to the popular Bahi Hut Lounge in Sarasota, where the Trump supporter said an employee refused to serve him, reported the Herald-Tribune.

“I was not drunk, I was not loud, I was not using profane language, I was not creating a scene — nothing,” Marlow told the newspaper. “They said it was just because of the hat.”

The 51-year-old Marlow stayed at the bar, and a few minutes later the employee threatened to call police if he didn’t leave peacefully, and officers arrived as he was walking out about 20 minutes later.

Police told Marlow the business had a right to refuse him service, but the conservative said the incident continued to bother him over the weekend so he searched the internet for his local Republican Party to lodge a complaint.

“I don’t know what to believe at this point,” said owner Jim Beck. “Right in the foyer as you enter the bar it says no hats. He’s saying what he told the gentleman very politely, very nicely, was no hats.”

but why does his hat sit so high? Is it remarkably small, or is his head pointed?

I have several friends who are all in for Trump. I remove politics from the equation in order to remain friends with them. However, my Facebook feed is often littered with nonsense. Some of the "friends of friends" who reply to these posts are female, and they meet or exceed the insanity of their male counterparts. It's all a matter of speaking the same language. I don't even pretend to understand it. I don't understand how Trump can be so public in his behavior, and yet these people keep chanting "he's one of us." I'm not going to be the one to change their minds.

I liked it when men wore hats, not caps. I remember when the hat companies were upset with JFK because he didn't wear a hat. He was finally talked into carrying one.

That's one of my pet peeves. I noticed last week at one of the Trump events - probably a "menu" signing - there were a couple of men there in cowboy hats. In the Oval Office. Sorry, buckaroos, no exceptions for people who walk around imitating Roy Rogers.

but I'd just probably leave quietly and think nothing of it.

Well, or take it off if I really wanted to eat/drink there.

Does he hate business?

Does he hate making money?

IS HE SOME KIND OF COMMUNIST?!?!

Let's start doing this to the repukes. They've been doing it to us for seventy years.
