"Trump loving restaurant boss loses customers after hanging 'patriots only' anti-Biden sign"


A Trump-loving business owner is filled with regret after posting an anti-Biden sign outside of his Italian restaurant.

Eddie’s Ristorante is located in Jupiter, Florida, just 20 miles away from Mar-a-Lago. A staunch supporter of former president Donald Trump, Eddie Lubic took it upon himself to hang up a sign that claimed the restaurant was only serving “Patriots of the USA.” It continued: “If you are still a Biden supporter, this restaurant is not for you.”

Lubic recently admitted to the Palm Beach Post that he “may have made a mistake” and that he “probably lost more [customers] than I gained.” Since posting the sign, Lubic claims that the restaurant’s hostess, 19, receives 100 vulgar phone calls a day from “relentless” strangers.

The Yelp page for Eddie’s Ristorante was flooded with comments like “Come for the biscotti, stay for the Benghazi”, causing the page to be shut down entirely.

I wonder if there's some sort of business version of a Darwin Award.

Despite the backlash, a new sign now reads, in what can be presumed as an effort to attract customers on both sides, “We are only serving Patriots of the USA vaccinated and unvaccinated. Question...In light of the Afghanistant debacle and the border crisis, do you still support Sleepy Joe and the corrupt White House administration?”


Once a RWNJ always a RWNJ. Sorry dude. One thing there is still no shortage of is restaurants and ones without the 'atmosphere'.

Advertise the business, not the ideology. A concept so simple you don't even need an MBA to understand it.

political preference on their business doors and windows. I now know who not to give my business to.

I would never allow any political support/opinions on the property of my business if I had one.

Lubic is not a very bright person.

I won't trust the food at a restaurant owned or operated by COVIDiots. If they won't take common sense precautions during a deadly pandemic, I know damn good and well they blow off any health regulations. They probably tell employees to ignore the hand wash sign in the restroom to save money on soap.

Why would a business owner risk losing half of their potential customers? Makes no sense. Liberal money is just as green as conservative.

Now, loyalty to a political party is even more important than your livelihood? Idiot.
