Nothing seems to get the liberal media’s attention more than when other liberals try to stick it to the President with a lawsuit, such has when his travel restrictions were challenged in court, and Thursday evening was no different. “President Trump has been hit with another lawsuit over his business empire,” announced anchor Lester Holt during NBC Nightly News, “This time a Washington, D.C. restaurant claims his hotel operation unfairly competes for local customers because of its ties to the President.”
The lawsuit was filed by Collin Pitts and Diane Gross the two owners of a DC wine bar who, according to NBC’s justice correspondent Pete Williams, “say in a company town like Washington where Government is the big market, the new hotel owned by Donald Trump is competing unfairly taking business away from them.”
But Williams may have exposed their true reason for filing the suit when he reported that: “The two active in liberal causes are suing the President saying the restaurant and his hotel lures away customers because lobbyists and diplomats want to impress the President by patronizing it.”
Williams backed up their assertions but recalling some of those who have been known to favorite the hotel:
Political organizations have rushed to put on events at the hotel, which has sought embassy business. Some cabinet members are living there. Eric Trump dropped by today, promoting a sporting event. And Trump confidant David Bossie was dining in the restaurant. The day before the inauguration, the incoming White House press secretary was touting it.
