Bakers refused to make pro-Trump birthday cake for 9-year-old boy: Report
The Washington Times ^ | August 7, 2017 | Bradford Richardson

Posted on 08/07/2017 5:36:32 PM PDT by Ciaphas Cain

A boy whose letter to President Trump made national headlines last month reportedly wanted a pro-Trump cake for his birthday party, but his mother was unable to find a baker willing to fulfill the order.

At the July 26 White House press briefing, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders read a letter from a boy named Dylan who said Mr. Trump was his favorite president. When she later released the letter publicly, the boy’s last name was blacked out. The only identifying clue was that everyone called him “Pickle.”

The media scrambled to verify the letter’s authenticity, and the next day, The Washington Post confirmed it was sent by 9-year-old Dylan Harbin of California.

The Post reported that, when Dylan asked for a “Donald Trump cake” for his birthday, his mother “made him one herself, because she couldn’t find a bakery willing and able to do it.”

Michael P. Farris is president, CEO and general counsel of the Alliance Defending Freedom, the Christian legal group defending Jack Phillips, a Colorado baker who was sued by a gay couple for declining to make their same-sex wedding cake.

Mr. Farris wondered why bakers are allowed to decline to make birthday cakes supporting Mr. Trump, but not wedding cakes supporting same-sex marriage.

Fox And Friends had this boy on last week. So cute. He loves Donald Trump and his cake was a MAGA cap.

Force Christians to make a same-sex mirage cake, but refuse to make a pro-Trump cake. Are leftists brain damaged? I know they act that way, but I’m beginning to believe they actually are.

Cute kid.

If that’s the cake his mom baked, GREAT JOB! I’m sure it’s better than any liberal bakery could have made.

Impressive cake. I want one for my birthday! It’s a pro-Trump state, so, I’m guessing I can get a bakery to make one. I might need to save the picture to show them,

Isn’t that the limit..?

The same people who 100% cooked up the Muh Russia..! narrative out of whole cloth:

They employed EXPERTS to verify that he wrote that letter.

Wow, that is DISGUSTING.

They’re sick.

So they can find a letter written by some kid named Pickle and verify the authenticity but they would not and could not verify husseins birf certificate.

Great kid! But I'd be nervous about him eating his cake even if I DID find a willing bakery.. Lots of hateful lefties and illegals lurking about.

Obama is largely responsible for the intolerant and hostile DemonRats of today.
