...he would be overwhelmingly defended by patrons and management.

That's not some conspiracy, it's a reflection of the public's innate sense of fairness and ability to discern between vicious charlatans like Sanders, and folks working in their interest, like Sen. Schumer.

It's even more fun watching your irrelevant Whataboutism.

I'm certain you believe they both advertise a particular cleverness... regardless of whether it's warranted or not.

Nice job. No need to rationalize... we get it.

...not uncommon for a business to refuse.

"...a Radford businessman’s decision not to host an “unscheduled” campaign event with Vice President Joe Biden."

I did generalize, but look at where he was. It's not like he went to some known republican eatery (what do they eat, besides babies, anyway?)

Ahhh, no. Maybe you can link where all these businesses are turning away Vice Presidents or the like.

...Biden was attempting to make a political appearance.

I've seen quite a few businesses decline to host candidates and pols in campaign mode. It's not uncommon.

"Chris McMurray had just opened his bakery, Crumb and Get It, Wednesday morning when he received a visit from Biden’s advance team asking if he’d host the vice president for a media event on the way to his scheduled speech at Virginia Tech.

McMurray politely declined out of a difference in politics, and Biden instead went up the street to the River Street Grill instead."

I’m sure they do a bang up business selling $5 cupcakes to KKK and other Trumpers.

“let’s go roll some coal and get us one fo them $5 dollar cupcakes!!”

Oh wait..... (nyuk nyuk I guess freedom cookies aren’t a good business model)

I was just going to ask if anyone knew if they were still in business. My attitude towards people that use this kind of stuff to rationalize their own bigotries and prejudices is that they'll catch it in the end. Their like-minded trolls may flock to them for a little while, but they will eventually fall by the wayside. The "conflicts with my personally held beliefs" are bullshit excuses. Their belief system also tends to frown on adultery, but again, no problem! As long as the adulterer is Republican, that is.

Due to know freakin' idea why 'we' confront them.

For one thing they engage in treasonous behavior and support the foreign overthrow of the US government.
