Fordham College Republicans Kicked Out Of Campus Coffee Shop Because Of MAGA Hats
Fox News ^ | 12-9-2017

Members of the Fordham University College Republicans club were recently asked to leave an on-campus coffee shop because they were wearing "Make America Great Again" hats.

In a video obtained by Campus Reform, an employee at Rodrigue’s Coffee House, which is run by a student club, told the College Republicans they had five minutes to get out because the hats violated the cafe's “safe space policy.”

“I don’t want people like you supporting this club," she says in the video. "No one here wants people like you supporting our club. I am giving you five minutes.”

"You are wearing hats that completely violate our safe space policy,” she continues. “I'm telling you to take it off or you have to go.”

On "The Story," one of the College Republicans who was ordered to leave the cafe, Aaron Spring, spoke out about the incident.

"Part of what she was talking about was that we violated the safe space and that we represented Nazism and fascism, and all this just made-up liberal propaganda, really," Spring said.

Martha MacCallum asked if they went to the coffee shop with the intention of provoking a confrontation.

"No, of course not," Spring said. "We were just a couple friends going to get coffee, having a talk."

He noted that the shop has a sign that says "all are welcome," but he said that apparently does not apply to people who have different thoughts and opinions.

If I'm not mistaken, Trump attended Fordham before transferring to University of Pennsylvania.

Its almost time for severe kickback to these arrogant pricks. They can’t have it both ways. I wonder who funds the place and how they’d like to lose it for prejudice?

To the left, the rule of law has one purpose:

For them to rule over everyone else.

If the law does not provide for that, it is invalid for their purposes, and can be ignored.

“Free speech” to Pinkos- has always meant shouting down opposing viewpoints.

Mao, Che, Pol Pot, Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Castro - provide the kind of safe space liberals and the left are comfortable in.

A coffee shop run with public funds?

Clear free speech violation.

If a bunch of BLM gangbangers strutted in wearing colors, would she try it with them?
