You may have heard that a judge in Manhattan ruled this week that there’s nothing “outrageous” about throwing Trump supporters out of a bar. Indeed, 31-year-old Greg Piatek was bounced from a West Village bar in January 2017 because he wore a "Make America Great Again" hat.
Piatek took his his case to the Manhattan Supreme Court, claiming the incident “offended his sense of being American” but the judge ruled against him and affirmed the right of the bar had the right to oust him for wearing a MAGA hat.
But doesn't that reflect gross hypocrisy? With that reasoning, why shouldn't a business owner be allowed to deny baking a wedding cake for a gay couple? Apparently, based on this case, constitutional rights are only to be enforced when it applies in a negative way to conservatives.
If a bar should be able to deny service to someone wearing a Trump hat, a bakery should be able to refuse service to a gay couple. Shouldn't it be fair, equal and constitutional all the way around?
