“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 don’t know where you read that. If that were true, why wouldn’t the author clearly state that there was no autism event?

    Can you quote where the article says there was no autism event?

      “Pressed by the newspaper about whether the campaign stop was an autism awareness event, Armstrong claimed “it’s always autism awareness because I’m an education advocate” and said she spoke to those gathered about autism at one point.” -the article.

      So there you have it. It WAS an autism event, because an “education advocate” said so.

      You are a rube or a troll, and my time has been wasted. Congrats.

          Lol, the article is quoting a Republican’s lies. If the article had quoted someone saying “Bigfoot is real”, does that mean the article said bigfoot is real?

            No, but I would expect the author to state clearly if we have data showing that Bigfoot is real or not, and on who the burden of proof lies
