Immigrant Café Owner Boycotted for Supporting Trump

Breitbart Jerusalem: Asher Shalom, the immigrant owner of a business who employs many immigrants, says he cannot understand why his recently opened café was protested ostensibly over his support for President Trump and White House immigration policies.

“My life is all with immigrants,” stated Shalom, who was shocked by the anti-Semitic, anti-American rhetoric he says came from protesters outside his café. Recalling protesters calling him racist and a Nazi, Shalom stated, “I don’t know what is the connection to my coffee shop.”

Shalom was speaking in an interview on this reporter’s talk radio program, “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio,” Broadcast on New York’s AM 970 The Answer and NewsTalk 990 AM in Philadelphia.

Last week, radical left protesters shouted at patrons and attempted to block the entrance to Asher Cafe & Lounge during its grand opening in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. Urged on by supporters, Shalom, together with the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce, a bipartisan group that works to empower U.S. businesses, is planning a second grand opening August 8.

A Facebook post by a group calling itself Defend Boyle Heights had demanded protesters show up to last week’s grand opening, claiming Shalom was an “anti-immigrant Trump loving gentryfier! If he hates immigrants so much, he can stay the f*ck out of our hood!” Defend Boyle Heights brands itself as “an anti-gentrification coalition.”

Shalom’s alleged offense was to retweet four tweets by President Trump, including one exclaiming that the U.S. immigration system is “broken,” referring to the flaws in the vetting process. MORE

    There isn’t any connection. They’re crazy.

    You may need to defend your life because they are so crazy.

    Welcome to the 2018 version of the Left.

  2. “Protesters demonstrate outside Israeli immigrant’s business: call owner ‘Nazi’; ‘anti-immigrant’”

    No wonder The Onion is struggling for relevance.
