Martyrdom having been defined down to being made to feel slightly uncomfortable in public because your horrible politics are wrecking the nation.

Exhibit A Sarah Huckabee Sanders

“Last week I was having lunch with two other moms at a restaurant when the owner approached a member of the State Police Executive Protection Detail and said my presence made their employees feel threatened and told us to leave. Arkansans are known for their warm hospitality, and while that restaurant certainly doesn’t meet that standard, my administration will continue to focus on lifting Arkansans up, not tearing others down with discrimination and hate.”

The restaurant’s response:

When Governor Sanders arrived unannounced, staff served her and her party without interruption.

As her security presence became more visible in the dining room, some employees and guests expressed discomfort. After the party completed their meal, a member of the security detail was quietly asked to help conclude the visit in line with our standard 90-minute table policy.

The request was not immediately received, and the party remained for an additional period before departing without incident once communication was established.

We want to be clear: there was no disruption in the restaurant. Claims that an employee made an inappropriate gesture are incorrect—it was a customer, and the situation has been addressed.

This was not a decision made lightly. We chose to prioritize the comfort of our staff and guests while continuing to provide service respectfully and without escalation.

Sanders has a “book” she “wrote” coming out this week, entitled “Unapologetic.” (For real).

Exhibit B Sean Hannity

“You know why I left New York? High taxes, quality of life, crime,” the 63-year-old stressed, before telling his audience, “I had a hard time going to a restaurant in New York City because people would stare at me and hated me.”

He added, “They had daggers in their eyes.”

Though he escaped unscathed, he allegedly found greener… or… much more red pastures in his new Floridian haven.

“You know what? I’m loved down here in Florida,” Hannity boasted. “Now, I don’t know why New Yorkers are so intolerant, but that was my life in New York. So, I left. It’s one of those decisions I made!”

This is the classic right wing three-step in the age of Political Correctness (remember that?)

(1) Be an utterly reprehensible human being

(2) Stop getting invited to dinner parties on Martha’s Vineyard because of your reprehensibility

(3) Whine about “intolerance.”

Remember, it’s fuck your feelings. My feelings must be handled like a tiny baby hummingbird, that cannot yet take flight.
