Duck Dynasty Star Kicked Out of Trump Hotel

Duck Dynasty star Jase Robertson was kicked out of New York City's Trump International Hotel after a staff member apparently thought he was homeless. Robertson laughed it off and said he was the victim of "facial profiling."

Robertson and other members of his family were in New York City promoting the fourth season of their hit A&E reality show. The network put the family up in the swanky hotel across from Central Park.

Apparently one Trump International Hotel staff member was not accustomed to seeing a fully bearded guest wearing camouflage pants.

"I asked them where the bathroom was and he said, 'Right this way, sir,'" Robertson told the hosts of the television show 'Live with Kelly and Michael.' "He said, 'Right this way, sir.' He walked me outside, pointed down the road and said, 'Good luck.'"

The hosts appeared stunned by the story - but Robertson smiled and said he took it in stride.

"I think it was a facial profiling deal," he said.

Robertson's brother, Al, told Fox News the family is getting a good laugh out of the case of mistaken identity.

"He assumed Jase was some homeless guy," he said. "This is not our first rodeo -- which is another reason I stay beardless."

Ironically, it's not the first time the men of the Louisiana family have been mistaken for homeless people.

"One time, we were in New York City and people put money in Willie's coffee cup," he said. "Dad was speaking at a church once and one of the members showed him where the homeless shelter was."

The Robertsons said they were "absolutely not offended" by the incident and said they love staying at Trump Hotel.

"We were laughing -- wait until the Donald hears about this," he said.

And for what it's worth, they hope the staff member doesn't get in trouble.

"He was just as nice as he could be -- escorting Jase to the park," Al said. "And honestly, if I was in his shoes -- I'd have done the same thing."

What business do you own?

Why?
Since you don’t frequent it, do you want to not frequent it again?

I do custom woodwork and work offshore.

At one time or another my 4 boys have had beards...the last one had a great beard he was doing like one of the guys on Duck Dynasty, came over for a visit and the hair on his face was almost gone...he said he kept getting people tell him he looked like an arab. He shaved off most of his beard and shaved his head. Now he looks like the Aryan brotherhood....I never know who is going to show up at my door....LOL. One just has a small triangle on his chin, the other had a middle age crisis and got his ear pierced, long hair and a beard from time to time...he's an independent trucker and has his own dress code...

Well I haven't had a hair cut except having it evened up a couple years ago in over 4 years. Its just over my shoulders but its thin. I wear a bandanna around my head {Have done so about 5 years} and a western hat over most of it because of sweating. I'm almost bald up on top my head and don'tt like sunburn either LOL. I'll never have to worry about skin cancer to my face and head from sun exposure either.

What exactly doyou find “disgusting” about them? Is it their worshiping of god? How about their ability to live off the land that they own? Is it their charitable attitude towards others? Could it be their good natured sense of humor? Maybe it is their devotion to their fellow family members and their willingness to accept each other for all of their goodness and all of their faults.

Please enlighten us all to what you find so disgusting. Be specific.
