In Saturday’s Politico Playbook newsletter written by Rachael Bade, Eugene Daniels, and Ryan Lizza, the leftwing outlet claimed Morton’s Steakhouse waded into the culture wars by issuing a statement in support of Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s right to eat dinner in peace at their restaurant.
On Friday, it was widely reported that Kavanaugh was forced out of Morton’s Steakhouse in downtown Washington D.C. after a mob of pro-abortion protesters swarmed the front of the restaurant and demanded the restaurant kick him out. Kavanaugh subsequently left through the back exit after eating his meal.
After the incident, Morton’s issued a statement which triggered these liberal journalists:
Honorable Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh and all of our other patrons at the restaurant were unduly harassed by unruly protestors while eating dinner at our Morton’s restaurant. Politics, regardless of your side or views, should not trample the freedom at play of the right to congregate and eat dinner. There is a time and place for everything. Disturbing the dinner of all of our customers was an act of selfishness and void of decency.
