D.C. Restaurant’s Yelp Page Under Attack After Ted Cruz Is Chased Out By Protesters
By Nikita Richardson
After a brief lull, the hot summertime trend of protesting politicians over dinner is back in full force. Last night, a group of protesters tracked down Senator Ted Cruz and his wife at an Italian spot in D.C. and confronted him over Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court until the senator was forced to leave.
The restaurant in question has been identified as Fiola, an exceedingly pricey restaurant, which Washington Post restaurant critic Tom Sietsema has called “the most glamorous place in the city to twirl pasta.†But conservatives and supporters of Senator Cruz don’t feel the same way apparently, and have taken to Fiola’s Yelp page to voice their displeasure with a string of one-star reviews.
“They allow paying customers to be abused and harassed by people coming in off the streets,†reads one review from Paul S. of St. Louis, Missouri, while Michael B. of Peoria, Arizona, wrote that “conservatives are not welcome and will not be protected here. The staff will allow randoms inside to yell at you while you try to eat your meal. It’s very sad.â€
