NYC bar responds to Trump supporter’s accusations that he was ‘kicked out’ of for MAGA visor

The managers of a bar in New York City say they have “disciplined” a server who allegedly refused service to a customer in a “Make America Great Again” visor — although they also said the customer instigated the incident, as he was “looking for this sort of scenario.”

The customer, Dion Cini, had originally shared footage of a bartender at Jake’s Dilemma appearing to confirm that Cini was not serving the man because of his hat.

In the footage Cini shared to Facebook, Cini can be heard accusing the bartender of refusing to serve him a beer, saying, “He said he won’t serve me because I got this hat on.” The bartender also appears to try to grab the phone out of the man’s hand.

The bar issued a statement regarding the incident just days after Cini shared the footage to Facebook, where it has accumulated over 100,000 views.

“The ownership and management of Jake’s Dilemma would like to directly address an incident which occurred at the bar this past week and has been making its way around social media,” the bar wrote on Facebook. “We would like everyone to know that we strive to remain completely apolitical and welcome customers with all beliefs and affiliations with the same first-rate level of customer service.

“Jake’s Dilemma is not a place promoting any specific political ideology nor a place where we want anyone to feel unwelcome. Rather, we encourage all to eat, drink, socialize and enjoy themselves at our bar. Our staff and management team include people from all walks of life and beliefs. There is no singular or any defining character of Jake’s Dilemma.

“With all this in mind, we do fully acknowledge that one of our employees took it upon himself to wrongly promote his political views. We can assure everyone that this employee has been disciplined and will be retrained before being allowed to serve at Jake’s Dilemma. We hope to see you at Jake’s Dilemma next time you are in the neighborhood.”
