As the Trump team prepares for a second term in Washington, D.C., area restaurants are once again becoming a battleground for political tensions. Food workers within the Beltway are gearing up to potentially refuse service and create disruptions for members of the incoming administration.
This is not the first time that the Trump administration and its allies have faced such confrontations while dining out. In a notable incident in September 2018, Senator Ted Cruz and his wife were harassed at an upscale Italian restaurant in D.C. over Cruz's support for then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Protesters shouted at the couple, leading them to leave the establishment.
