How tone-deaf is the Trump administration? Beyond the insensitivity of Melania going to visit imprisoned babies and children in border concentration camps to show how much she cares, while wearing a coat that says, literally, “I really don’t care. Do u?”, Kirstjen Nielsen and Stephen Miller go out to eat (and, surprise! surprise!) get harassed at MEXICAN RESTAURANTS the same week it is revealed babies snatched from asylum-seeking parents are being placed in concentration camp kiddie jails (or as Laura Ingraham calls them, “summer camps” in what Steve Doocy calls concrete buildings with fences made of chain link, like farms).
And then Sarah Huckabee Sanders gets tossed from a Red Hen restaurant trying to keep trouble makers out, and it is reported that Trump White House staff are having a hard time getting dates (boo hoo).
For those tempted to cite hypocrisy in criticizing a bigot who discriminates against the LGBTQ community and trying to keep troublemakers out of a restaurant, the relevant difference is this: in Colorado (and 21 other states), orientation is a protected class against which discrimination is illegal. There is NO STATE in which bigotry, public lying or political affiliation is a protected class.
A person chooses to be a bigot or which political party they join. A person does not choose their gender or sexual orientation.
Many liberals have this sentiment, but aren’t you afraid of destroying the reputation of Mexicans and Mexican restaurants? Advocating that Mexicans spit in food is a bad idea.
While v. isiting in Europe I found that most places have someone that speaks English. As someone who never could get the hang of learning another language, I appreciated that. It would have been unthinkable to have one of the locals come in and start screaming “this is (country) and you should only speak (language)”. Ugly Americans, indeed.
He ate, or pretended to eat, a taco bowl in trump tower to get elected. He did not call it “a crispy shell full of ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cheese and possibly sour cream”.
Although it reminded me of the time Krusty pretended to eat a Krusty Burger: “Ack, some of the juice went down my throat! I’ll be tasting that for weeks!”

Nobody is bigoted against Mexican food. It’s entirely too delicious. If Trump ever gets all Mexicans to go home, please be sure to leave recipes.
