But you shouldn't pick and choose who it's ok to refuse service to and who it's not.

It seems pretty simple to me - you can refuse service to someone only for things that they are able to change.

For instance, someone does not have a choice on whether or not they are black. Or Asian. Or a woman. Or gay. Or Irish. So you can't refuse service based on those grounds.

Someone absolutely has a choice of whether or not they want to lie in service to a political party. Or help implement strategies that separate children from their parents. Seems OK to me to refuse service on those grounds.

If I go into a bar and act like an asshole, insulting the staff and everyone else in the restaurant, they have (and should have) the right to kick me out, because I am responsible for my behaviour.

At this point were getting close to the point of making Republicans second class citizens as many cases as we've seen of this happening

--> Controls every branch of government
--> "Second-class citizens"

Pick one.

Sanders wasn't tossed out of the restaurant for being Republican (given that the rest of her table was also very likely Republicans and they were allowed to stay, though they left anyways), she was tossed out of the restaurant for the things she had said and done.

For the record, I would not have a problem with a restaurant in a heavily Republican area refusing service to a Democrat (I would think it was dumb, unless it was objecting to a specific policy that Democrat had implemented or supported that cause measurable harm, but they're well within their rights to do so regardless).
