Anti-Vaxxers Lose Their Minds After Being Turned Away From Trump Grill For Failing to Show Vax Cards

They just don't get it.

In today’s episode of “Let’s Explain What A Constitutional Right Is,” a group of anti-vaxxers in New York had to learn it the hard way: Publicly. They were turned away last Thursday as they tried to go out to eat at the Trump Grill inside Trump Tower for failing to show vaccination cards.

New York City is under a mandate that requires anyone five and older to show proof they’ve gotten at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine for indoor dining. That includes restaurants, catering halls, hotel banquet rooms, bars, nightclubs, cafeterias, coffee shops, fast-food restaurants, and grocery stores with indoor dining.

A video from the Daily Mail shows a police officer attempting to explain to the crowd that the restaurant is literally required by the government to make sure the mandate is enforced, whether it’s owned by Trump or not. And if they think Donald Trump wants to pay fines for failing to do so in his own restaurant, they really haven’t been paying attention.

One man, after being told by the amazingly calm officer that they weren’t going to be seated, said that the staff at the restaurant need to “prove to us that we are a threat… Yeah, so the burden of proof is on them because they are assuming that we are a threat because we don’t have a vaccine. Well, prove to me that we are a threat.”

Yeah, that’s not how it works.

Another man complained that he had made a reservation, and the cop couldn’t stifle his laughter any longer:

You can make ten reservations, that does not guarantee it. That’s not a guarantee. That’s not a constitutional right.

If only more conservatives and anti-vaxxers understood that going into a restaurant (or the movies, or a football game) is not a “right” that they’re guaranteed.
