“This was not a misunderstanding. The individual, who appeared to be a manager, repeatedly insisted that we leave, stating, ‘Please leave now.’”
Al-Aqidi emphasized that the group was simply enjoying a meal after a local Senate District convention, not hosting any sort of political function.
“We were simply a group enjoying a meal after a Senate District convention, and several of us clarified to her that this was not a political event—just a gathering over dinner. Despite our explanations, she refused to listen, displaying a level of disrespect that was deeply disappointing.”
She added that this incident should serve as a wake-up call for all Americans, especially conservatives who feel increasingly unwelcome in certain public spaces.
“This incident should serve as a wake-up call for everyone. While we may reside in a predominantly blue district, we will not allow ourselves to be bullied or silenced. We are one community, and it is essential that we learn to coexist with mutual respect, regardless of our political differences.”
As public pressure mounts, Davanni’s, the pizzeria in question, has issued a statement attempting to clarify the situation. The company insists that the issue stemmed from a misunderstanding of its policies regarding fundraising events.
“For 50 years, Davanni’s has been your neighborhood gathering place for quality food, community connection, and making memories.”
“Over the weekend, our team in Edina misunderstood a policy around fundraising efforts in our party rooms which resulted in an incident that impacted valued guests. We’re deeply sorry for the actions taken.”
“Our teams always work to create a welcoming, friendly environment and dining experience for all guests, of all backgrounds and beliefs.”
“We have taken quick action to understand, resolve, and work on expanded training for our team members.”
“We take pride in supporting our communities and will continue to live by our values each day.”
Just Released: Trump White House Collector’s Bobblehead!
Despite the statement, many conservatives remain unconvinced, viewing it as yet another example of leftist hostility toward Trump supporters. Davanni’s, which has been a Twin Cities staple since 1975, now finds itself in the crosshairs of a growing boycott movement.
This is far from an isolated incident. Over the past decade, similar cases have unfolded nationwide, with restaurants and businesses openly discriminating against Trump supporters and conservatives. Each time, they claim it was a “misunderstanding” only after being exposed and facing public outrage.
For many on the right, this latest episode is just more proof that conservative voices are increasingly unwelcome in spaces dominated by liberal ideology. The question remains: will businesses continue to alienate a significant portion of the American population, or will they finally learn to truly embrace inclusivity?
Of course they are apologetic now that thier bottom line is effected, fire the waitress & apologize, in time that may help your buisness some.
Sad when a neighborhood establishment decides to take a political side… just serve ALL customers and leave your political ideas at the door!
