Last weekend, Fox News analyst Gianno Caldwell was trying to enjoy breakfast with friends in Miami when he made the unforgivable error of discussing his political beliefs.

That caught the attention of one of the cafe’s owners, who informed the conservative commentator that his politics weren’t palatable in the restaurant and told the group that “the language they were using was unwelcome in our space.”

Caldwell, who is Black, took to social media to vent about the incident, and he talked about it on “Fox & Friends Weekend” the next day. Fox News analyst Gianno Caldwell says he was asked to leave a restaurant in Miami because of his conservative political views.

“No matter your politics you should not be discriminated against,” he said on Twitter. “I was discriminated against for being a conservative and told to leave a restaurant in North Miami because my politics didn’t ‘align’ with the owner. This is NOT okay.”

On the Fox News segment, Caldwell said the incident was a “grave injustice” and reminiscent of the Jim Crow South.

First of all, I don't know if I should believe this or not since Fux Nooze lies thru their noses. But assuming it did happen, I think comparing it to Jim Crow was a bit of a stretch.

2. He gets told in a restaurant to cool it in front of maybe 10 people

And then goes on to his nightly platform of millions of nitwits and claims victimhood and censorship.

3. I have eaten in many restaurants

I have rarely had occasion to know the political beliefs of those at other tables unless they are making an attempt to make their beliefs known in which case, regardless of what those beliefs may be, they are being a loud asshole at a restaurant.

10. Fuck off Caldwell. If you're going to have a meal out, respect the other diners by keeping your

divisive "thoughts" to yourself. It's what we call being "polite." Obviously, Faux News dickwads know nothing of that kind of behavior.

13. 'Black' conservatives are quick to pull the 'race card'

when folks are disgusted by their verbiage. Calling for protections under the very laws they decry with their politics. "I want MY civil rights, while denying YOURS!'
