The owner of the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Va refused to serve White House Press Secretary Sara Huckabee and her seven family members Friday night. The owner said she asked Huckabee and her party to leave because the restaurant upheld certain standards of “honesty, compassion and cooperation.” The owner said that she was upset because of President Trump’s policies on immigration and banning transgender people from the military. Last week, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was chased out of a Mexican restaurant by a mob of “Democratic Socialists” and protesters at her home yelled, “No peace, no sleep.” Protests are erupting across the country.

This is all part of a bigger movement. Remember after the election, the ex-“president” moved many of his top aides to his Organizing For Action (OFA) group. OFA claims it has over 32,000 volunteers and 250 offices nationwide. On February 13, 2017, The Daily Jot wrote: “Think about how this works-Trump issues an immigration executive order; OFA signals for protests and statements from Islamic and pro-immigrant leftist groups; ACLU lawyers file lawsuits in jurisdictions where activist judges obstruct the laws; volunteers are called to protest …the leftist media springs to action…violence follows-all emanating from the ex-“president’s” signal that he is heartened by the protests.” This is just about how things are playing out right now because Trump is enforcing laws that have been on the books for over a decade.

Over the weekend, Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA), a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (translate: socialists and communists in Congress), told a group, “Let’s stay the course… if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.” Legal citizens not welcome in their own country? Imagine if Waters was denied service at a restaurant, department store or gas station? Racism and bigotry would take center stage. Waters ranted, “we’re going to win this battle because while you try and quote the Bible, Jeff Sessions and others, you really don’t know the Bible. God is on OUR side.”

Waters appears very uninformed about how God wants us to treat one another, including immigrants. The Bible says in Exodus 22:21, “Thou shalt neither vex a stranger or oppress him.” It also says in Exodus 12:49, “One law shall be to him that is home-born, and unto the foreigner who sojourns among you.” These commands are repeated throughout the Bible. We are to treat immigrants with the same love and respect with which we want others to treat us AND they must obey the law. These people are breaking the law by entering illegally. But that’s what the coup-makers want. They want to treat law abiding citizens with contempt, and to enlist the lawless to help them overthrow the country. Yet in this hypocrisy, they claim God’s favor.
