Restaurant workers in Washington, D.C. have taken a bold step in the ongoing culture war, openly declaring they will refuse service to anyone associated with former President Donald Trump. This spectacle of unhinged entitlement serves as yet another reminder of the all-too-common hostility conservatives face in their everyday lives. Apparently, for some, a difference in political affiliation is all the justification needed to toss out basic decency like last week’s leftovers.
Reports from The Washingtonian reveal a few overzealous service workers who have resorted to self-appointed roles as political agents, professing their dedication to making dining experiences miserable for customers with “wrong” party ties. One worker absurdly pondered how any respectable person could just let a high-profile figure like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. enjoy brunch without causing a scene. This has become the new normal, where civility is sacrificed on the altar of political opposition.
It also appears that some of these service industry folks believe they hold the moral high ground, claiming that Trump officials wield special powers to take away rights—yes, apparently their mere presence is enough to infringe upon liberties. In a stunning display of irony, one worker noted their ability to inflict a little “subtle inconvenience” on these officials as a form of resistance. Nothing says “freedom” quite like denying someone a gallon of ranch dressing for their fries due to their political beliefs.
DC Restaurant Workers Refuse to Serve Trump Officials, Or Will at Least Make Their Dining Experience Hell

The alarming trend of targeting conservative figures isn’t new. Back in 2018, Sen. Ted Cruz and his wife were harassed at an Italian restaurant, forced to flee due to a mob protesting his support for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Clearly, tearing into diners over their political affiliations has become a favorite pastime for leftists. These instances make it obvious that the left has normalized a sort of societal bullying that would make any decent person cringe.
Interestingly, not all bartenders are caught up in this petty political vendetta. One bartender candidly expressed enthusiasm over the financial prospects of serving Republicans in D.C. It seems some have realized that making a living trumps playing mind games and that tips might just beat spite in the long run. In the end, it remains to be seen whether this trend of selective service will do any lasting damage or just provide more fodder for an already fractured political discourse.
