“You’re not welcome back.”

That’s the message the manager of Philadelphia cheesesteak joint Max’s Steaks had for Pennsylvania Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dave McCormick, after his campaign held an event outside the restaurant Friday that the eatery was told would be about autism awareness.

Mike Sfida—who agreed to hold the event because his niece and nephew have autism—was alarmed when he saw Donald Trump signs being hung outside the beloved North Philly spot on Friday, the* Philadelphia Inquirer*reported. McCormick arrived, gave a campaign stump address, and then handed out free sandwiches.

    I swear I had to read these headlines like 10 times.

    “GOP candidate calls his campaign stop an autism fundraiser, gets banned when venue owner finds out.”

      Still doesn’t work in my head…‘GOP candidate tries hijacking Autism even and turns it into campaign fundraiser…gets asked to leave and not return…then tries to do the same thing at a church across the street and gets asked to leave’…

      none of that is reflected in that title
