Man Wearing 'F*ck Trump' Shirt Gets Kicked Out of Texas Restaurant

Andy Ternay, a bearded blacksmith from Garland, went to brunch on Sunday wearing a shirt displaying the words, “Fuck Trump.” Employees at First Watch in Richardson, TX asked him to leave and someone even called the police. That same day, Ternay made a post on his Facebook account that went viral.

Ternay begins his long account of the meal that wasn’t meant to be with the words, “Adventuresome morning today!”

The post includes a photo of Ternay wearing the shirt at a table with a menu in hand. The front of it displays the words, “FUCK TRUMP AND FUCK YOU FOR VOTING FOR HIM.” This is the same phrase Karen Fonseca had on her bumper sticker. Another photo shows the back of Ternay’s shirt, which has an image of an obscene hand gesture involving the middle finger. It also displays the words, “FUCK THE RACIST ALT-RIGHT.”

Ternay explains that a manager told him “customers were distressed by his shirt and that children might see it.” Ternay responded by letting “her know that explaining ‘grab ‘em by the pussy’ and golden showers to my daughter was equally unpleasant.”

If it's your business, you have the right to create a certain atmosphere by banning printed profanity. I wouldn't say Chuck E. Cheese would be out of line for doing the same thing. I am curious if the restaurant would be even-handed, though.

That said, I do love the shirt.

not. These people tend to be offended quite easily. And they call us “snowflakes.” Ha!
