“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.

    It wasn’t an Autism awareness event, it was a campaign rally. They lied to the owner to be able to use the space. The store owner didn’t give out sandwiches, the candidate did. The store owner also didn’t ask them to leave, the pastor across the road did. This was all very clear from the words written.

        Republican: Can I show up to your business to host a [thing you care about deeply] event?

        Shows up, whole thing is about [ thing you fucking hate ]. Mentions your thing in passing.

        I literally

        This is where your argument fell apart. If it wasn’t literally, how else were you going to find the part where the candidate lied about everything? You didn’t mention using your eyes and reading comprehension, and I worry one of those wasn’t in use.

        Also, there are a million better adverbs, and learning them is fun.
