Sondland's wife "fears an economic backlash" against his hotel company.

seems like a pretty reasonable fear if you help Trump commit crimes

Here’s an idea: tell the truth, stop helping Trump deny voters a free and fair election, stop covering it up, and nobody will have much interest in boycotting your fucking hotels.

could put their money to better use than buying political favors. At present, he needs to testifies and tells the truth.
Then he wouldn't have to worry about being his hotel boycotted. It would be a good start.

You wrote a YELP review for Hotel Murano

1.0 star rating
10/10/2019

Gordon Sondland the CEO of the Murano Hotel is currently avoiding testifying and refusing to hand over Ukraine documents to the House Intell Committee investigating President Trump's involvement in illegal activities involving the 2020 election.

Do not stay in a traitor's hotel if you think that foreign interference in an election is unAmerican. This man paid 1 million dollars to Trump to buy an ambassadorship.

Boycott his hotel. Avoid the bedbugs.

Stayed at that one once for a conference. Amazing art glass on every floor as you exit the elevator. The lobby’s art is stunning. Close to Tacoma’s glass museum.

As noted above, there was a protest around several of his hotels this weekend. He deserves it, and at least for the Portland ones he probably should be concerned.

Restaurants lease space within his hotels, so I’m sure they are none too pleased with his crap.

i guess it was twitter, but it was a link to his hotels so people would know where not to go.

Hubby Dearest paid off a lazy, self-absorbed, vindictive, treasonous clown so that he'd get a sweet prestige gig, and he never thought that there could be . . . consequences.

Meanwhile, a woman is dead in Ft. Worth because she left her door open on a nice night while playing video games with her nephew and a trigger-happy cop decided that he feared for his life, or whatever, so she was murdered for Existing While Black.

Sorry, Mrs. Sondland - what was the nature of your . . . grievance . . .again?
