Founder of anti-Democrat Twitter movement pushed by Russian bots denied service at New York electron

[still_one]

"Conservative and Russian media outlets began amplifying Brandon Straka’s #WalkAway campaign after White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was politely asked to leave a pro-LGBT equality restaurant in Virginia. It gained further steam after Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) was mischaracterized by the right as inducing violence. The campaign was pushed by a series of sketchy Twitter accounts identified by some as bots that have worked to divide Democratic voters apart for the upcoming 2018 election by “walking away” from the Democratic Party.

But Straka had his own (Sarah) Sanders moment at a large Manhattan electronics store, according to The Epoch Times

2. If your religion won't let you make cakes for a gay wedding

The *my* religion won't let me sell anything to a neo-nazi

3. Excellent, these MAGAts deserve no peace

Their whole game is pushing alt-right extremism online and on tv etc - then think they can go back to their comfortable lives.. bullshit... they need to be exposed and held accountable for their views in the light of day.

Fascism must be disrupted, otherwise the 'trains run on time' and it becomes the norm ... like a frog slowly boiling in a pot of water.

4. I will make it a point to shop at Adorama any time I need equipment.

7. The store condemned the actions of the clerk

who refused service to Straka.

From the RawStory article:
“The Adorama Management Team deeply regrets the incident involving an employee in our store. Please know this is not who we are, and does not reflect the position of our owners or other staff members. This is being taken seriously and is being addressed with the highest priority.”

Regardless, the clerk is a hero and Straka is the typical emo-Nazi snowflake who loves to advocate for terrible treatment of 'others' but pulls the diva act when the slightest discomfort is aimed at him:

“I was shaking. I was hurt. I had this huge adrenaline rush. I felt embarrassed and I also felt nervous,” he explained. “At every station of the store, I’d given them my personal information. What if this kid decides to go into the computer and dox [to reveal his personal information] me? I am not a guy who has a lot of money. I can’t have people going to my apartment and harassing me.”

8. Was thinking of the clerk.

Will see what the store ends up doing.

20. "What if this kid decides to . . . dox me?"

See Brandon, that's really more your personal style than what occurs to the vast majority of people. It's gotta be tough, being a professional asshole, wondering and worrying at every and any moment when someone else is going to be an asshole to you. There's a solution, but it would require some personal growth on your part, and you don't really strike me as the kind of person who learns from his experiences.

9. The management disavowed the clerk's action. n/t

[dhol82]

10. Will wait to see what they eventually end up doing.

Although, the Hasidic community has been pro trump.
Not good.
Hope the clerk is not fired. This might be a new picket line.

[calimary]

16. But when you do, PLEASE tell the clerk, or EVEN BETTER,

TELL THE MANAGER that you’re giving them your business BECAUSE of the principled clerk who courageously refused to help someone who tried to take down our democracy by helping the Russians hack our last election.

Please feel free to use that language or something similar.

OR: you could say “I was not going to shop here after I heard that you served that #walkaway dude who was helping the Russians hack our last election. But then I heard you had a sales clerk with principles who didn’t want wo serve that collaborator. So in HIS honor, I’m shopping here because he was trying to protect our democracy. Hope you don’t fire him or anything. Because HE DID THE RIGHT THING.”

Reinforce and reward GOOD BEHAVIOR!

[dhol82]

18. Of course!

That’s the only way to deal with this kind of situation.

[calimary]

19. Excellent!

It’d help save his job, assuming they haven’t already fired him. Hopefully they haven’t. HE’S the true patriot here and they need to hear that.

Reinforce and reward GOOD behavior.

5. I saw that #walkaway written but never

bothered to see what it was until now.

So.. a former dem is urging people to walk away from Liberalism which is the life and blood of America.. and now he was denied service in a store by an employee who didn't want to be a part of his dangerous stupidity.

I say bravo to the person who felt that strongly about our Democracy. He Walked Away from BS.

I say #walkaway from Brandon Straka who is a Gaslighting attention seeking idiot.. who wants America to walkaway from the Truth and FACTS and wander into FAKE FECKLESS STUPIDITY.

Thanks, still_one

11. Sounds like fake news to me

No names, no pics, no proof. Bullshit story from a bullshit source.

[peequod]

12. A phrase is coming to mind...

Oh that’s it: womp womp, Straka🖕🏼

[Honeycombe8]

13. Now he knows what it feels like to be denied service. In his case, tho, it's not...

it's not because of WHAT he is, as in other cases. It's because of what he DOES, his behavior.

14. Buy your electronics shit in Russia, traitor.
