Are you conflating racial segregation with Sanders being - kicked out of a restaurant?

I don't think so.

The Civil Rights laws passed in the 60s were to correct terrible and long held injustices against minorities who had no power at all. Sanders is a privileged, well paid mouthpiece for the Trump administration who really can eat anywhere she likes usually, there are probably many places who would love to have her.

I think people who are shocked by this should realize that there are undoubtedly restaurant employees who are gay, and there are also restaurant employees who sympathize with gay coworkers and family. The zero tolerance immigration policy could also be sparking a lot of resentment, separating families and putting toddlers in prison. Sanders obviously has no problem with it.

Here is Sanders' statement on discrimination against gay people at press conference in December 2017 during the initial gay cake trial (link below):

__________

President Trump's press secretary said her boss would have no problem with businesses hanging antigay signs that explicitly state they don't serve LGBT customers.

Hours after oral arguments concluded in the Masterpiece Cakeshop case — where a Colorado baker argued to the Supreme Court that his religion allows him to refuse service to gay people — press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was confronted on legalized discrimination during today's White House press briefing.

"The lawyer for the solicitor general's office for the administration said today in the Supreme Court if it would be legal, possible for a baker to put a sign in his window saying we don't bake cakes for gay weddings," The New York Times' Michael Shear asked. "Does the president agree that that would be OK?"

"The president certainly supports religious liberty and that's something he talked about during the campaign and has upheld since taking office," Sanders replied.

When pressed on whether that included support for signs that deny service to gay people, Sanders responded, "I believe that would include that."
__________

So in her book "religious liberty" allows discrimination, no other way to read that. If she is for that, what argument against the restaurant owner?

It's always different for some people, is what they'd like you to believe, but it isn't, it really isn't.

If it's okay for restaurants to exclude gays, why is it not okay to exclude incompetent govt spokespeople who lie and dress down members of the press for no other reason than being on a power trip and sheer nastiness?
