Straight from the Kibbles playbook. Deflect. Blame someone else for the stupid shite you did!

Your prediction is correct, but we might get a little additional drama out of it first.
What if some of the left wing loons pick up on this story about racist white folk trying to ruin this women’s business. They might try to help push like minded diners to go support her.

There aren't enough Loons on the Northshore to keep her in business.

Most of the people she is pandering to can't afford to eat there. Any initial pity bump she sees from the white guilt crowd with money won't be sustainable. There just simply aren't enough of them on the Northshore. (for now).

That’s pathetic. Almost as pathetic as that BS attempt at an apology.

Trump won St Tammany by over 50 percentage points in 2016. There isn't enough liberals here to keep her afloat that can actually afford to eat there.

It's just this last week everyone has lost their filter.

All these people who are otherwise normal people have decided they are gonna follow the lead of the Blue Checkmark Bridgade on Twitter. I've seen ppl on social media attempt to martyr themselves bc they are emotional AF about ideological horseshite that mostly doesn't even directly affect their lives. They'll even preface their brazen rants by "this may not be good for business" or "I'll lose followers/friends, but..."

Twitter is not real life - Facebook is not real life. Why risk pissing people off or potentially screwing up relationships or business in your real life to virtue signal for no gain whatsoever? It's fricking bizarre.

I’ve made a solid list of people I won’t talk to and businesses I’ll never again patronize over the last 2 months

Can you imagine Drew Brees:

"I realized I said some insensitive comments, but they were taken out of context by a known stalker."

And he said nothing but he will not kneel during the anthem.

Oh I’m well aware of the demographics of the northshore and such.
It their simple minds they would think they could get liberals from Nola and other areas to drive a long ways to keep the business afloat.
She will he closed by July 4th.

Shes a stupid woman...not because she supports BLM but she has seen how many are exactly the Khaleesi meme that has circulated. She doubled down on that and thought she would be praised. She forgets that 85 percent of the world doesn't live in a social media vacuum 24/7. She is going to lose business.

We should have a liberal talking points bingo with these people. They all follow the same formula.

As for the dumb restaurant owner, she thinks she’s entitled to free thoughts and speech but people with opposing positions are not. She’s getting exactly the result she was hoping for, she just didn’t expect it to be directed at her. Then did exactly what they all do, become the “victim”.

We are all worried about our children/families from radicals intent on doing harm. I’m glad she’s feeling it too. When the people intent on destroying you solely for your beliefs or skin color come for your kids they’re not going to take the time to check your Facebook cred.

Will her business decline? Probably in the short term. However, Covington is awash in the Karena virus. The older Covington families will bail, but the NOLA transplants will still eat there in a visual display of virtue signaling. They will play it off via feigned ignorance of these circumstances, but they will be there.

On another note, I have really never been impressed with Del Porto. I have yet to have a great meal. Good meals...yes, great...nope.
I personally prefer quite a few other restaurants (with Gallagher’s being my favorite). Just my .02.

I hope that Mandry (Landry? the rep) doesn't see it ... she'll go off on TD.com again.

My husband and I quit eating and drinking here years ago because of your ridiculous fb post! I was sent many messages from many different people about not supporting Del Porto. I laughed and said y’all are late to the party! We stopped for the same reason back in 2012???????? I never could understand how they kept their doors open when most people in St Tammany Parish have different views than them on everything!!!! This is fantastic! So happy people are standing up in our beloved Parish!!! Go back where you came from!
