And we may have a winner for the worst take yet on Sarah Sanders and the Red Hen restaurant incident:
Some who defend baker’s right to refuse service to gay couples, whine re ppl refusing service to a person who’s the face of a deceitful Administration. What’s good for the goose, is good for the Red Hen. Difference is, being gay is not a choice. Being an accomplice to Trump, is.

This … is not what happened:
The accurate analogy would be if the Red Hen were willing to serve Sanders anything on the regular menu, but declined to make her something custom.
(It's a dumb analogy, isn't it? Be less dumb.) https://t.co/rlPKQF7ndI

Even if you accept that being gay is not a choice, which not everyone does, getting married IS a choice. The baker refused to make the gay couple a wedding cake, did not kick them out or refuse to serve them at all. https://t.co/IQ9gh8eWV1

No, analogy would be if SHS asked for a MAGA cake or a "Build the Wall" cake- something custom and w/ a meaning of which the baker's deeply held beliefs prevented him from celebrating/affirming by baking. Wld be good if we didn't mischaracterize those w/ whom we disagree https://t.co/PTFV70fcvU

She’s not even trying to be honest:
It’s not even an accident anymore. They purposely misstate what happened in the Colorado bakery case. And they know it’s bogus. https://t.co/cSAlHRsaF3

Gotta get those likes and retweets, though:
This is a dumb analogy for many reasons. For one thing, Jack Phillips never refused service to a gay couple. This is a smear. Yet it will have ten of thousands of retweets. Just shameful. https://t.co/EvEf2JIAfX

What’s worse, however, are all the people who are cheering her on:
