    How I will always see this woman.

    As a former Arkansan, the moment she announced she was running for governor, I moved out of that state. Not even joking.

    So the authors did change “threatened” to “uncomfortable”, but “asked to leave” to “thrown out.”

    Is this fair and balanced?

    Check the full article (linked within the posted shorter article) and you’ll find this…

    "About an hour into the visit, a staff member approached someone on the security detail and “asked to encourage” the governor to leave, “as she had finished dining,” according to the statement.

    Since the restaurant has a 90-minute table limit, the security detail was approached a second time and asked to leave roughly 10 minutes before that time limit.

    As they were leaving, the governor’s staff said that a man allegedly yelled, “it’s time to go,” and then proceeded to make a crude hand gesture in the governor’s direction. The Croissanterie would say that man was a customer and not an employee."

    Yeah, she just found out, that not only do people disagree with her views, she’s also not special and not above the rules. Get gone, bye Felicia…

    Sanders claimed the restaurant asked her to leave because she made their employees feel threatened, a claim the restaurant directly refuted.

    That’s… a valid reason to ask someone to leave.

      But, it wasn’t the reason she was asked to leave. Odd, though, that she chose to claim she made the employees feel threatened, like that’s something to boast about?

        My point is her explanation is “people were uncomfortable” as if that’s not a valid reason to ask someone to leave.

        It is.

        It very much is.

        Especially if your security goons are acting like assholes questioning/stopping people, etc. (not saying they were but usually details like that will want as much control as they can legally take.)

    I’ll be honest, especially outside of their typical context, like the White House or haunted houses, ghouls would make me feel threatened too.

    It just occurred to me that the likely many hundreds of emails between Trump and Epstein haven’t been released yet.
