Florida restaurant owner tells Biden supporters to 'take business elsewhere'
By Natalie Prieb - 08/31/21 05:50 PM EDT

A Florida restaurant owner angry over the deaths of U.S. soldiers during the evacuation from Afghanistan has a message for supporters of President Biden: "Take your business elsewhere."

Angie Ugarte, the owner of DeBary Diner, posted a sign on her establishment's front door that caught the attention of Fox 35 Orlando.

"If you voted for and continue to support and stand behind the worthless, inept and corrupt administration currently inhabiting the White House that is complicit in the death of our servicemen and women in Afghanistan, please take your business elsewhere," the sign reads.


Ugarte told the local news outlet she posted the sign the same day 13 U.S. service members were killed in an attack at the Kabul airport in Afghanistan, which also killed dozens of Afghan civilians.

"I was just angry. I was just let down," Ugarte said. "I felt like one of those mothers, or wives, or sisters who were gonna get that knock on the door."

"I was just angry. I was just let down," Ugarte said. "I felt like one of those mothers, or wives, or sisters who were gonna get that knock on the door."

I respect her assessment of the Biden administration's incompetence and corruption, and her right to run her business as she sees fit.  If I lived in her town I would be more likely to eat in her restaurant.

But what about the fathers or brothers who might get that knock on the door?  Or the sons who might have lost a father, or even a husband who might have lost a military wife?  I have to wonder why her empathy seems to be reserved for women.  It reminds me of Hillary Clinton's gynocentric claim in 1998 that "women have always been the primary victims of war."

A Google search of the diner Tuesday afternoon, however, showed that her message was resonating with local residents. Google's wait time forecast indicated the restaurant was much "busier than usual."

And that is all that matters in the real world.

Let me guess:

A. Ugarte is of Cuban heritage;

B. Ugarte is a vet;

C. Ugarte is the mother or sister of a vet or service member;

D. Some or all of the above.

That should be a very effective Dine-and-Dash rate reduction measure, might even reduce that rate to zero, plus or minus an occasional illiterate LIEden voter.

Just guessing here, but maybe because she is a woman, she can relate to the female point of view more closely.
