Protesters tried to confront those attending the dinner Friday, but were forced out by police. On Monday, Maggiano’s apologized, saying that it was “the inadvertent site” of the protest and that it closed the restaurant for the safety of its staff and guests. “This was a last minute booking made Friday afternoon, and the reservation was made under a different name, therefore we were not aware that NPI was dining with us or what the group represents,” Steve Provost, the president of the 51-restaurant chain, said in a statement posted to Facebook. The statement also referred to a tweet sent by “an attendee . . . in which she made a ‘Sieg Heil salute’ in support of Hitler and white supremacy.” “This expression of support of Hitler is extremely offensive to us, as our restaurant is home to Teammates and Guests of every race, religion and cultural background,” the statement said. The statement said Maggiano’s would donate $10,000, the profit from its Friday restaurant sales, to the D.C. office of the Anti-Defamation League, “which for decades has been working to bring people together in peace and understanding.” https://is.gd/TnzPZx So, Herring, Bilious, et al, was white wine served? We do need t know what was served. Seems as if you are up on the dinner. Speech write for them? I'm up on the news, Bilious. I read newspapers, not the right-wing trash sites you and your buds here favor. My local newspaper seems to be an arm of the Washington Post these days. 80% of the columnist articles are from the WP. And that rag is really biased anti-Trump. I guess most big circulation newspapers see Trump for the slime he is. If your local paper is the Chronicle, it, sadly, was sold to Hearst about 20 years ago and the corporation cut back drastically on its national and international reportage, so I am sure it "buys" columns from various writers groups. I gave up on the Chronicle years ago. All those college educated journalists who could not write or spell. No, my paper is part of the East Bay Times group, which also owns a bunch of the old Gannett papers like the San Jose Mercury. |

You are hardly in a position to criticize someone else's writing or spelling. You read a local newspaper that used to be a giveaway weekly and might still be. |
