"A well-known San Mateo restaurant owner has waded into the rough waters of national politics after posting on social media that customers wearing MAGA hats were banned from his establishment.

On Sunday, chef and partner at Wursthall Restaurant and Bierhaus J. Kenji Lopez-Alt sent out a tweet declaring that he would not serve anyone who comes into his place wearing a “Make America Great Again” cap.

“It hasn’t happened yet, but if you come to my restaurant wearing a MAGA cap, you aren’t getting served. Same as if you come in wearing a swastika, white hood, or any other symbol of intolerance and hate,” said Mr. Lopez-Alt in the tweet.

The tweet was taken down but not before it got 2,100 likes and 200 retweets." (visit link)
