In almost every opinion on the restaurant that famously refused to serve Sarah Huckabee Sanders, there is a too-neat congruence between the moral argument and the meta-political argument. If you think it’s right and just and admirable to deprive a Trump administration mouthpiece of an evening out in polite society, you probably also think that this sort of direct action is the vital spark that the left needs to mobilize and defeat Trumpism outright.
On the other hand, if you think that the restaurant owner committed an obnoxious breach of the basic bipartisan civility that prevents our empire from becoming 1990s Yugoslavia, you probably think that what she did was basically an in-kind donation to the Trump re-election effort as well.
It should be possible, though, to mix and match — to feel a certain sympathy or admiration for the restaurateur’s non serviam, but also to believe that its wider application by the Resistance wouldn’t do anti-Trump forces any good....

The RED hen is CHICKEN $hit.....FU’um
Great post.
And the whole issue shines the ultimate hypocrisy of the left. If she were lesbian they wouldn’t have thrown her out.
I hate when someone fallows me around.
Douthat Bump.
It’s not just incivility. It’s voter intimidation which is punishable by a year in jail.
I just cant get over how fast that a spontaneous protest happened at the other restaurant. Sanders is a common name but if Sara’s name was dropped to the person taking the reservation or the family had made reservations in the past I can see the restaurant finding out ahead of time. I have worked in restaurants as kitchen staff it is surprising what information can be gleamed from a telephone reservation. often time the telephone number of the person Making the reservation is kept and if it is repeat business you know the identity.
Let them cut off all their ugly Commie noses to spite their ugly Commie faces!
Yep, that is where I stopped reading, no need to go further, the screed has been self-identified.
Comments disabled, alas, the left can’t handle the truth. Thanks for posting Sir, and I have to say thanks for all the facts about people being hired etc, you are awesome.
I hope people here are using those or referring their kids, neighbors, friends, co-religionists and etc. to those jobs.
Yes, the fools who own the Red Hen should be allowed to serve who they want to serve.You mean like not serve blacks, Jews, gays, trannies, etc.?
You are doing your best, it is up to them to avail themselves of the opportunity, but you are awesome for being there each day, not slobbering over you, but been here for like 20 years, you are awesome.
It was probably the P-G's call as far as disabling comments for the reprint on its website. Did the NYT disable comments for the article on its own website?
