Group vows boycott of D.C. eateries that serve congressmen who vote to repeal ACA

LZ: A liberal activist group wants to organize mass boycotts of restaurants that allow members of Congress to eat if those members vote to dismantle Obamacare.

Scott Dworkin, an adviser to the Democratic Coalition Against Trump, said the organization is working on a boycott of any Washington, D.C., eatery that lets the offending members dine, if those members voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

“For fun we are working with DC restaurants & bars to ban Members of Congress who plan on repealing Obamacare,” Dworkin tweeted on Monday morning.

He followed up: “Restaurants who don’t ban Members will be boycotted by DC residents & close down. We’ve done it before — It worked.”

Dworkin’s tweets were met with wide mockery by conservative critics.

  1. I’d say them do their damndest. Don’t mock them (yet) and don’t try to impeded them. Then when it fails horribly (and it will) then go after him. Give these lib bullies a chance to fail large and in public and it may just give them a lesson in who’s in charge now and as an added bonus might put Dworkin out of a job.

  2. “Restaurants who don’t ban Members will be boycotted by DC residents & close down. We’ve done it before — It worked”

    Actually it was a Christian bakery who didn’t want to bake a special cake for militant LGBT wedding, so they had to eventually close down and go out of business.

  3. An empty threat. Most owners don’t want these people eating at their restaurants in the first place. They frighten away paying customers, steal tips, napkins and tableware, and are generally obnoxious, malodorous, and unwanted.

  4. “…organize mass boycotts of restaurants that allow members of Congress to eat if those members vote to dismantle Obamacare.”

    Sounds like a long and complicated process which most people will lose interest in and give up. Kind of like Healthcare.gov

  5. Well, I suppose turnabout’s fair play. The Dems got boycotted pretty effectively at the polls last November. On the negative side, a few restaurants may lose 0.001% revenue. On the plus side, Trump’s in the White House. I’ll settle for that.
