Ruby Tuesday Waiter Warns Jill Stein Her Green Party Response To Trump Speech Disrupting Diners

Ruby Tuesday Waiter Warns Jill Stein Her Green Party Response To Trump Speech Disrupting Other Diners

http://www.theonion.com/article/ruby-tuesday-waiter-warns-jill-stein-her-green-par-55400



LEXINGTON, MA—Interrupting the two-time presidential candidate in the middle of her speech, a member of the Ruby Tuesday waitstaff reportedly warned Jill Stein Tuesday evening that her official Green Party response to President Trump’s congressional address was disturbing the restaurant’s other patrons. “Excuse me, ma’am, but if you wouldn’t mind lowering your voice a bit so other guests can enjoy their meals,” server Teresa Whitman politely asked Stein, who had spent the last several minutes railing against Trump’s plan to lower the corporate tax rate by 20 percent in front of a corner booth containing four other members of the Green Party. “We appreciate your dining with us this evening, but multiple tables have complained that your shouting about excessive military spending is upsetting their children. If you can’t speak at a reasonable volume, we’ll have no choice but to ask you to leave.” At press time, a defiant Stein was arguing that she had already purchased several rounds of Ruby Relaxer cocktails and was therefore entitled to denounce Trump’s proposal to cut $54 billion from non-defense-related federal programs as loudly as she wanted.

I suppose Dr Stein can't help but continue her grifting. You would think those who count themselves as supporters would see clearly how they are being played.

See...that's what I get for speed reading an article without paying attention to details when I'm at work and jumping to conclusions. I humbly accept my award! Lol

Most families went to get away from hearing the speech.

I didn't watch Apprentice's Executive Producer last night during it's SOTU speech, I chose instead to get cliff notes from various sources and here from DU'ers. I watched anything other than what I KNOW was a crazy speech given by a crazy fool. MOST of my friends I spoke to either went out to dinner, visited friends/relatives or they sleep during the liars speech.

As for Stein, I find it VERY hard to believe she's against tRumputin's excessive military spending, especially since she was seated near her buddies blackmailing putin tang and crazy Flynn over in ruskieville. I guess she's using this SOTU speech as an opportunity to

That recount money's probably run out by now


And HILLARY was the warmonger Ms. Stein?

But, as you say, one can hardly be blamed for believing it.



Ps. Never been to Ruby Tuesday, so I also believed they have those cocktails.

I used to live in Lexington, and I know there is no Ruby Tuesday's in that town: Ruby Tuesday's and Lexington, MA is like a yuge disconnect! (If there's one there now, I'll know the world went bonkers.)
