    They aren’t restricting anyone’s political speech (which, as a private business, they are allowed to do anyway), they are not allowing the promotion of a Treasonous Terrorist Hate Group that has specifically targeted their preferred patrons.

    They don’t have to allow MAGA Nazis to walk among their patrons wearing their bigotry, any more than a synagogue must allow a Neo-Nazi to walk among their congregation wearing a swastika.

    Frankly, the bar should be apologizing to their patrons for not tossing the guy out the instant he walked in. I’ve managed and owned restaurants and other retail establishments, and I’ve never had a problem ejecting idiots who walk in wearing clothes that will piss off my customers. You can wear your Fuck You shirt anywhere in public you want, but you aren’t wearing it in my family restaurant where you will offend my family patrons.

      They are restricting political speech and it’s good.

      The way liberals have to twist themselves into knots to fight fascism is absurd.
