Mourner from Robert Trump's funeral 'punches restaurant worker in the face and breaks his nose' ...

A mourner from Robert Trump's funeral has allegedly punched a restaurant worker in the face telling them 'you don't know how to speak to people' because the server told them they couldn't fit their large party in the restaurant due to COVID-19 rules.

The unidentified attacker assaulted a server at Fig & Olive restaurant in Washington DC Friday night leaving him with a suspected broken nose, just hours after Donald Trump held a funeral service at the White House for his younger brother, according to reports from NBC.

A restaurant worker told the outlet the mourner 'clocked [the server] right in the nose' after he told the 'unruly party' there was no space for the group to dine.

The attacker, who the employee did not identify, went on to accost the victim for not speaking to them in the right way, the employee said. Security at City Center DC, the development housing the restaurant, and police were said to be handling the matter but the restaurant staff said neither 'did anything'. A security person at the City Center DC development refused to comment on the situation because they said they 'were not there at the time'.

You mean their host at the White House didn't provide any sort of spread tanyev Aug 2020 #1
That would have cost money. So no way food was going to be provided. Buckeyeblue Aug 2020 #4
Also, I suspect the Trump family doesn't do much reminiscing about loved ones. tanyev Aug 2020 #5
Right. If the talk isn't praise to Donald, he's not interested. Buckeyeblue Aug 2020 #6

Why didn't the brother's family do their own thing?
