do you notice any hypocrisy here? Interesting.

These people shout equality for all, yet they have no problem showing their own prejudices…what hypocrites…

Well, isn’t this delightful? People Magazine reports that fashion designer Sophie Theallet has vowed that she “will not participate in dressing or associating with the next First Lady” — and she hopes other designers will follow suit:

Theallet posted her full statement on Twitter:

Theallet believes so strongly in tolerance that she won’t tolerate Melania Trump wearing her clothes.
that's so tolerant

Dontcha?
Just makes way for new unknown designers to swoop in and make a name for themselves!

Many up and coming designers will now have their chance. What a great opportunity!

This just cracks me up. Melania hasn't asked these designers to dress her. She has done just fine without these people. https://t.co/kGdNO75uvF

Guessing Melania will find a way to pick up the pieces.

Indeed.
And inquiring minds can’t help but want to know: Why is Theallet allowed to refuse service to Mrs. Trump (assuming Mrs. Trump even wanted it in the first place)?

Oh look it's ok for a business to refuse service now. https://t.co/tzDBWUHAUz

Where’s the outcry from the liberal tolerance brigade about this?
A bakery was put out of business by the state for not baking a cake. Liberals are so very confused. @people

And we shut down small businesses for not baking a cake for a gay wedding. How is this any different? #HypocriteLeft

But, you damned well better bake that cake, pizza or arrange those flowers. Go home proggies, you're drunk.
