If we’ve learned one lesson since the election, it’s that the Left has a lot to teach the rest of us about tolerance. Namely, how not to do it:
We stand for tolerance. Always. Please read the official statement about our CEO, @m3aloney's, post-election email https://t.co/tQU3Db0IbY

Grubhub CEO tells pro-Trump employees to resign https://t.co/iOxd1frn4n via @BryanLlenas pic.twitter.com/JVzRj3qdp5

Well, technically he suggested that employees who hold “hateful attitudes” resign.
More from Fox News:
The CEO of Grubhub, an online food delivery service, sent a company wide email Wednesday suggesting employees who agree with President-elect Donald Trump’s behaviors and his campaign rhetoric should resign.
“If you do not agree with this statement then please reply to this email with your resignation because you have no place here,” wrote Matt Maloney, Co-Founder of Grubhub. “We do not tolerate hateful attitudes on our team.”
You sure you wanna go down that road, Mr. Maloney?
This seems ill-advised. https://t.co/KG8j4r0yon

That’s one way to put it.
This headline is inaccurate, but the CEO walks a dangerous line, threatening to fire anyone who makes others uncomfortable https://t.co/7Xa3H2e7AG

It doesn’t seem to be going over terribly well with a lot of people.

wow looks like I'll be ordering from a new delivery service in NYC going forward. Unbelievable.

Hi @Grubhub I'm a Trump supporter & use(d) your service A LOT, but no longer will. I'm sure many of my 100K+ followers feel the same. https://t.co/1YpKxGb1gM

Tolerance? How does it work?
We’re pretty sure it’s not like this.
but the democrats are the tolerant ones.

who is the intolerant?
— Lg SOS (@LgSOS) November 10, 2016
It's not intolerant if a leftist does it. It's just not. https://t.co/qij0CCS7eg

You stand for tolerance by telling employees you don't agree with to quit? https://t.co/ttapY3dvaz

Grubhub CEO: "We will not tolerate…"
Sums up the left. Do they not see the irony?

Oops, indeed.
Mini-lawsplainer: maybe @Grubhub isn't safe with that "resign if you support Trump's politics" email after all. /1
— IWantNothingHat (@Popehat) November 10, 2016
/2 Turns out DC is one of a few jurisdictions with a no-firing-based-on-political-affiliation law. Sec. 2-1401.11 https://t.co/X2Gxw6DpHQ
— IWantNothingHat (@Popehat) November 10, 2016
/3 In fact, under 1-1401.11(4)(B) it's specifically illegal to publish a "preference, limitation, specification, or distinction" based on it
— IWantNothingHat (@Popehat) November 10, 2016
/4 So @Grubhub probably just (1) violated the law and (2) gave a fun free retaliation claim to any Trump supporter they fire or discipline.

/5 [I'll spare you the freedom of association analysis or the hypocrisy-of-talking-about-freedom-of-association analysis]
— IWantNothingHat (@Popehat) November 10, 2016
/5 In short, @Grubhub will probably be paying some lawyers some money to sort this out.
— IWantNothingHat (@Popehat) November 10, 2016
/6 In short, @Grubhub, wallow and rant, but do it on your private account. Boss speech has liability issues.
— IWantNothingHat (@Popehat) November 10, 2016
.@M3aloney I'd like to thank you for supporting my profession during trying economic times.
— IWantNothingHat (@Popehat) November 10, 2016
Ouch.
