SUPREME COURT, THERE'S A SPILL ON AISLE 7: Man Told His Trump Shirt Made Local Gym Goers ‘Uncomfortable,’ Was Asked To Not Wear It To The Gym Anymore

A man says he was asked not to wear a shirt supporting President Trump at a gym that he attends in Troy, Mo. Staff Sgt. 
Jake Talbot says he has worn the shirt to CDY Fitness in Troy many times before but on Sunday, he says the owner asked him not to wear the shirt again, saying the shirt was offensive to her and others. 
“I was just puzzled there for a second. She said that it was racist and represents racism and that’s when I when I was like ‘oh, you’re done,” said Talbot. Talbot says he finished his workout before posting his frustrations to Facebook. 
“The owner Liz came up to me and said that Trump shirt I had on was offensive and said I needed to remove it in order to work out there, and that it is linked to racism. I hate the word, its used way too loosely. It’s 2019, get the hell over it, it’s not racism,” Talbot said.   
The gym’s owner declined an interview with News 4 but says the shirt made several members uncomfortable. On Sunday she went online and posted that the gym “shouldn’t be a political forum for anyone.” 
Attorney Lynette Petruska says the gym’s owner was well within her legal bounds to ask Talbot to take the shirt off. 
“The business owner really didn’t violate any First Amendment or anti-discrimination law,” said Petruska. Talbot says he believe the situation could have been handled differently. 
“It’s just the racist part she brought up that I just do not like,” said Talbot. Talbot says another nearby gym offered him a year membership for free.
He's our fucking President. It sure as hell is a First Amendment violation.

This is an Apartheid system where Conservatives are being denied equal rights.

That's enough. Either the government start defending us, or it's Civil War.
