What is wrong with these people?

quote:

In an extensive post-election interview with Eater, TV personality and renowned chef Anthony Bourdain vowed to boycott Donald Trump’s Washington D.C. hotel restaurant, and said he does not see evidence that America is a less racist country than it was in the 1960s.

“I will never eat in his restaurant,” the Parts Unknown host said when asked about chef Alessandro Borgognone bringing a new sushi restaurant, Nakazama, to the new Trump International Hotel in the nation’s capital. “I have utter contempt for him, utter and complete contempt.”

Bourdain said the chef doing business with Trump is “not helpful.”

“I’m not asking you to start putting up barricades now, but when they come and ask you, ‘Are you with us?’ You do have an option,” he said before comparing chefs working with Trump to Germans becoming Nazi soldiers. “You can say ‘No thanks, guys. I don’t look good in a brown shirt. Makes me look a little, I don’t know, not great. It’s not slimming.’”

Sure that Eric & Don Jr don't want a riff raff heroin addict in their DC restaurant.

I trust you made the same threads when Trumpkins were boycotting everything from Pepsico, Bud Light etc.

Not so much? Ohh ok.

Bordain can do what he wants with his money as is his right. IDGAF

Wasn't Obama President the past 8 years?

Is he saying Obama set race relations back, or failed to move them forward?

Oh, I see, he is a typical Prog. Very "educated", but somehow can't make educated analogies.

We're all so fricking racist.

at the reference to "brown shirts" - the people acting like "brown shirts" are all the libs trying to force people into not doing business with people due to their political beliefs.

Anthony Bourdain is a former and self-proclaimed crack head.

If that tells you anything.

Bourdain's show this season was completely and utterly intolerable.

He literally did a whole episode focused on Rome, comparing Trump to Mussolini. That was the whole purpose of the episode and he laid it on thick as hell.

I wish I was joking.

Bourdain is a big Obama homer. He is as liberal as it gets. Just another liberal scumbag.
