A D.C. waitress was fired after claiming she would not serve Trump administration officials. Is this a sign that the resistance to President Trump will be different this time around?

From The Post Millennial. Washington DC restaurant has fired a waitress after she stated she would refuse to serve individuals associated with President-elect Donald Trump’s administration.

Who is praying on the wall?

 

Suzannah Van Rooy, who worked at Beuchert’s Saloon on Capitol Hill, made the comments in an interview with Washingtonian. Van Rooy said that she would “refuse to serve any person in office who I know of as being a sex trafficker or trying to deport millions of people.”

“It’s not, ‘Oh, we hate Republicans.’ It’s that this person has moral convictions that are strongly opposed to mine, and I don’t feel comfortable serving them,” she added.

Her comments were part of a broader report exploring potential resistance in DC to officials in the upcoming Trump administration, drawing parallels to incidents during Trump’s first term, such as when Sarah Huckabee Sanders was kicked out of a Virginia restaurant. …

Beuchert’s Saloon responded quickly to Van Rooy’s comments, calling them “reprehensible.” In a statement to Fox News, the restaurant confirmed she had been fired for violating their “zero-tolerance policy on discrimination.” The business also clarified that she was a part-time server and not a manager.

“Recent comments made by a member of staff who had no authority to speak on behalf of our entire restaurant have been, quite rightly, flagged as inappropriate, hostile, intolerant, and unacceptable. This staff member does NOT speak for us as a restaurant,” the restaurant said in a statement on Thursday. …

The restaurant issued a follow-up statement Friday, calling Van Rooy’s behavior “unforgivable.” It also revealed that Van Rooy had accessed the business’s social media accounts without permission to post her views. …

I speak God’s peace into our cities, our businesses, our citizens. This is the Shalom of God.
From Eph 2:
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off [j]have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, 15 by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, 16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity. 17 And He came and preached peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near; 18 for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.

May the Lord God Almighty unite the hearts of the people in this nation through Jesus Christ. Amen.
